Commentary and Analysis

Elizabeth Shackelford weighs in on how the military takeover could affect security relationships with the United States and others.

Deep Dish explores the challenges and choices Taiwan faces in preserving peace and navigating its delicate relationship with China and the US.

"Offering Ukraine something other than NATO membership would send a message to Moscow that the US is committed to Ukraine’s security—but only up to a point," Paul Poast argues.

Should the United States take a more militarized or diplomatic approach in Taiwan-China relations?

"Putin’s decision to attack has made Ukraine’s membership of NATO inevitable," writes Ivo Daalder.

Ivo Daalder joins James Lindsay to discuss the decisions reached at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Ukraine joining NATO will not increase tensions. It will reduce them, argue Ivo Daadler, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, and Stefano Stefanini.

"If I were Vladimir Putin, I would not be happy about what happened in Vilnius this week," Ivo Daalder tells Carl Nasman.

"Rather than paving the way forward, the summit indicated that the alliance members are only ready for more of the same," Paul Poast argues.

“If ending the war means Ukraine joins NATO, a lot of Russians might feel differently about their commitment to the fight," Elizabeth Shackelford writes.
