Ineffectiveness of Current U.S. Strategy in Ukraine

The Biden administration's approach to the Ukraine conflict has been deemed counterproductive, contributing to an increased likelihood of the invasion and complicating prospects for resolution. Key assumptions underlying this strategy, including the belief in coercing Russia through sanctions and bolstering Ukraine's military strength, have failed to yield significant outcomes. The challenge of convincing the U.S. foreign policy establishment to support a realist compromise is significant, suggesting the need for substantial shifts in strategy to effectively address this conflict. Overall, the current method does not align with the complexities of the situation, needing a reassessment to foster a workable peace settlement.
