The Folly of Realism: Ukraine, Russia, and US Foreign Policy
About This Event
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has challenged long-held assumptions about the post-Cold War international order. How have the United States’ and its allies' foreign policy approach to Ukraine and Russia evolved since the Soviet Union's collapse, and what are the consequences of these strategies today? What does this teach us about US foreign policy more broadly, and how should these lessons inform America's response to the war in Ukraine? Join Alexander Vindman and John Gans as they discuss America's shifting strategy in Eastern Europe, its implications for the ongoing conflict, and what this reveals about the future of US foreign policy.
Copies of Alexander Vindman’s book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine, will be available for sale and signing at the program.
