Diplomacy and Dissent in Ukraine

This chapter analyzes the Secretary of State's diplomatic approach regarding the Ukraine conflict, contrasting current political responses with historical ones. It critiques certain factions within the libertarian movement for their interventionist tendencies and examines the absurdity of alarmist predictions about Russia's regional ambitions. The discussion emphasizes the need for a cautious U.S. stance until a legitimate democratic leadership emerges in Ukraine, while also highlighting the challenges of understanding public sentiment in a suppressed political environment.
