Pro-establishment narrative
Allowing Russia to triumph in Ukraine will embolden the Kremlin to launch further acts of aggression and encourage America's enemies to do the same. Continuing US funding for Ukraine is squarely in the country's national interest — preventing the spread of undemocratic regimes elsewhere.
