GoodFellows: Conversations from the Hoover Institution

NOTE

Interconnected Nature of Global Challenges

Global challenges such as Russian aggression in Ukraine, actions of aggressors like Iran and Russia in the Middle East, and provocations by entities like North Korea are interconnected. Weakness in international resolve can be provocative, as demonstrated by past events like the unenforced red line in Syria and the Obama administration's pivot out of the Middle East. The lack of resolve, such as the surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan, can embolden adversaries, leading to events like the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and the re-invasion in 2022. The inability to sustain support for Ukraine due to internal political dynamics may signal weakness to aggressive regimes like Tehran, influencing their decisions to act.
