Beschloss: I Wish Harry Truman Was Back to Explain to Americans Why Sending Money to Ukraine Is Absolutely Essential

EXCERPT:

BESCHLOSS: “If he came back today, he would say that the reason the three of us are in this program as Americans alive, have — have — has a lot to do with the fact that NATO survived, that Harry Truman thought of it, that he got it through Congress, and explained to Americans why only four years after the end of World War II, they had to possibly arm to fight the Soviet Union and keep it out of Western Europe and preserve freedom. We’re fighting that fight all — all over again, right now. Republicans on Capitol Hill are saying that there’s a very good chance we’re going to vote down aid to Ukraine. There is less support among — on that side for NATO than there has probably been in the last 75 years. That is tragic. And if you think that NATO is the Keystone to freedom on Earth in 2024, as it was in 1949, and I don’t want to keep on the siding Clif for confirmation, but I think the three of us would think that is true. We are in danger today. And I wish that Harry Truman were back to explain to Americans why this is so absolutely essential.”
