Will the Russia-Ukraine war transform Europe into a global security provider? Nonresident Fellow Paul Poast unpacks the implications on Politikal Arena.
Russia has threatened to use nuclear weapons if Finland and Sweden integrate militarily with NATO. Ivo Daalder explains why this is "mostly bluster" on CNN.
Finland and Sweden will “more than double the amount of NATO territory bordering Russia. But that’s Moscow’s doing, not NATO’s,” writes Ivo Daalder in Politico.
Putin will “have two very significant military powers [...] being part of NATO as a result of his actions in Ukraine," Ivo Daalder tells Suhana Meharchand on CBC.
“There is a degree of barbarity that is really unconscionable,” says Ivo Daalder. “We do need to make sure at some point that people responsible will be held to account.”
“The global dependence on fossil fuels that drives this climate crisis also empowers some of the world’s worst actors,” writes Elizabeth Shackelford in the Chicago Tribune.
“What we’re seeing in terms of military assistance is unprecedented, and it’s likely to be essential for a drawn-out war,” says Elizabeth Shackelford on Chicago Tonight.
