The U.S. Response to War on Ukraine Needs Work.
Diplomacy should always be attempted, but clearly its use as a tool, lacks proven success dealing with a Russia under Vladimir Putin’s control.
Heavy weaponry from the West should have been provided much earlier in the conflict—if not before the invasion.
The Western response to Russian aggression so far has, unfortunately, been mixed and must improve significantly.
I would like tentatively to share the insights and analysis, by Ms. Alexis Mrachek, and Dr. Peter Brookes.
Ms. Alexis Mrachek is a policy analyst for Russia and Eurasia at The Heritage Foundation.
Dr. Peter Brookes is The Heritage Foundation’s Senior Research Fellow for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Counter Proliferation.
