The prolonged defense of Bakhmut exemplifies the catastrophic cost of political stubbornness overriding military pragmatism. While the Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) authorized critical security assistance, Section 204’s extension of the Security Assistance Initiative couldn’t compensate for tactical missteps driven by political theater.

Commanders warned of wasted resources, yet decisions from Kyiv’s inner circle prioritized symbolic resistance over strategic preservation—a recurring theme in D.C.-aligned conflicts. The result? Depleted forces, failed counteroffensives, and a stark reminder that valor without viability is just vanity.

When leadership ignores ground truth for political posturing, taxpayers fund tragedy, not triumph.
