To which the answer is *shrug* of course, and then comes the outburst:
Daniel Drezner: As Zelenskyy goes he just said, I [Trump] would tell him, yeah and what he didn’t add is, the leverage you have is the supply of weapons, so you can see that we have that leverage.
Robert Wright: I was just going to say as a realist, I would think you would almost expect a great power to act this way right? In real [RE-AL] politics this is what great powers do, they’re fighting a proxy war and they tell the proxy what to do right?
DD: I’m sure but if you want me to be, uh how real politics do you want me to be?
RW: *shrugs*
DD: Because this is where we start talking about things that we’re not supposed to be saying out loud but…
RW: I think we’re already there, so you might as well uh…
DD: Okay then the answer is, that part one of the great strategic gains from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is, that weirdly it has made Europe feel far more secure - and also push Europe in a foreign policy direction that accords well with the United States.
There is something to be said there for, for you know, Ukraine wants to keep fighting this war, if Ukraine keeps fighting this war, they are essentially preventing Russia from applying military coercion anywhere else on their periphery and that again is a strategic windfall for the United States, and so - if you really want me to be a realist about this, I like the idea that like you know, the baltics feel more secure, the fact that Finland and Sweden are now in NATO, the fact that the Eastern flank now feels like it it’s the longer this war goes on, the more Europe will be prepared to deal with a revanchist Russia when the war ends.
Horray! Diese Gesellschaft ist und bleibt das absolut Allerletzte!
Jetzt aber zur Kern der Sache - “Wie sehr soll ich hier Dinge erwähnen, die wir eigenlich als Wissenschaftler und Blogger nicht erwähnen sollten?”

Hey, da ist sie ja wieder! Die Brookings Institution. Ich hab sie schon so vermisst!
Diese Gesellschaft ist das absolut grotesk abartigst Allerletzte.
Die Europäer fühlen sich aber sicherer, wenn die Ukrainer für sie kämpfen! Vor allem die Polen! Danke nonresident senior fellow at the Project on International Order and Strategy at the Brookings Institution!
