I can't blame Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for standing up for his country in a war that Russia started. But President Donald Trump isn't wrong about the need to finally end that war.

And Trump and Vance aren't wrong for signaling that the days of U.S. interventionism around the globe are ending.

It is wrong for American progressives to herald Zelenskyy as a hero for putting Ukraine first while villainizing Trump for putting America first.

As Trump said Friday, "I'm not aligned with Putin. I'm not aligned with anybody. I'm aligned with the United States of America, and for the good of the world."
