President Biden previously promised that American sons and daughters would not be sent to fight and die in Ukraine. But recently he authorized sending 3,000 troops to Europe as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

The NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, has just concluded. Ukraine president Zelenskyy was disappointed that Ukraine won't be admitted to NATO just yet.

Some members object because there is an ongoing war. Yet, the participants' declaration read: "We reaffirm the commitment we made at the 2008 Summit in Bucharest that Ukraine will become a member of NATO, and today we recognize that Ukraine's path to full Euro-Atlantic integration has moved beyond the need for the Membership Action Plan"—despite Russia's repeated warnings that this is a Red Line.

The much-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive is floundering. Its troops have not yet reached even the first of three lines of entrenched Russian defenses, but are taking horrendous casualties in the "crumple" zone ahead of the defensive lines. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter states that they have already lost 20–40 percent of the NATO-trained capability prepared for the offensive. Reportedly 8 to 10 times as many Ukrainians as Russians have died.

If the Russians have 180,000 troops in reserve, what can 3,000 Americans do? If NATO cannot win a conventional ground war, will it resort to nuclear weapons?

Americans are now supplying cluster bombs (dual-purpose improved conventional munition, DPICM) reportedly because we are out of other artillery ammunition. These munitions are outlawed all over the world because "duds" may explode long after the war, killing and maiming civilians.

Zelenskyy has been pleading for F-16s. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that they will be delivered. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Moscow can't ignore the nuclear capability of these aircraft.
