Isn't Now the Moment to Double Down on Helping Ukraine Defeat Russia? May 10, 2023

Show notes

Russia is showing multiple signs of weakness in its faltering invasion of Ukraine. These are complemented by continuing signs of incompetence and resentment from some close to Putin. Given these factors, we discuss whether now should be the time to provide even more support for Kyiv, setting aside our concerns about supposed Russian redlines. In this timely discussion with the CFR's Max Boot, AEI's Kori Schake and Georgetown's Rosa Brooks, host David Rothkopf also turns the conversation to a course correction in U.S.-China policy that all the members of our panel feel is a welcome one. Join us.
