Ivo Daalder argues that China’s unwillingness to stand up to Putin is part of what causes the danger of missile hits like the one in Poland this week.

As the frenzy dies down after the missile hit in Poland, Council President Ivo Daalder joins Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell to unpack lessons learned.

"The administration will have less leeway to act than before, but we can expect the United States to remain an active player in the world," Elizabeth Shackelford writes.

"There's this sense among Chinese interlocutors that I've spoken to that this is a recurring and powerful force in American society," Craig Kafura says.

“The best way to deal with it is to give Ukraine the capacity to defend itself, rather than escalate this further,” Ivo Daalder tells Zain Asher.

Despite economic hardship or scares from the missile in Poland, "It really isn't up to us to tell the Ukrainians how it ends," Council President Ivo Daalder tells Geeta Guru-murthy on BBC World News.

“There’s a growing risk that the United States and Germany are headed for a collision over China,” warns Council President Ivo Daalder.

"It’s not too late for China and the United States to achieve some level of mutual understanding and common purpose," Paul Heer writes.

"If it was deliberate, that is an armed attack on a NATO country, and would lead to serious consequences" Ivo Daalder tells Judy Woodruff.

As officials work to learn what happened inside the NATO territory of Poland after reports of a Russian missile hit, Ivo Daalder weighs in on Meet the Press.
