Jun 22, 2022
RealClearDefense
Should the United States humiliate Russia—and Russian President Vladimir Putin specifically—over the Russo-Ukrainian War? It could lead to escalation and new wars, but the United States and NATO may need to think twice before offering concessions.

Has the War in Ukraine Damaged Russia's Gray Zone Capabilities?
Raphael S. Cohen
Jun 22, 2022
The National Interest
Russia's actions are to blame for the damage done to its gray zone capabilities, but it's the West's choice to see whether this respite represents a short-term aberration or presents opportunities for some long-term fixes.

Do Americans Know Who Their Diplomats Are? Or What They Do?
Michael S. Pollard @MichaelSPollard, Charles P. Ries @charles_ries
Jun 20, 2022
The Hill
Americans have a limited understanding of how diplomats are selected and how diplomacy interacts with other elements of the U.S. national security establishment. Efforts to better inform and engage the American public about the work of diplomacy and who American diplomats are would lead to a greater understanding of the job and its people.

Modi's Multipolar Moment Has Arrived
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
Jun 6, 2022
Foreign Policy
Russia's war in Ukraine has benefited India as great powers are competing more vigorously for New Delhi's affection, particularly the United States and China. India has also prevented its Russia policy from spoiling partnerships with key European and Indo-Pacific partners. These trends, if sustained, will contribute to India's rise to great-power status and in turn, shift the global system toward even greater multipolarity.
