Help Ukraine Win—or Risk Kicking Off a U.S. Losing Streak

Continued assistance to Ukraine is critical if the United States is to retain its position as the world's indispensable nation and the many benefits Americans enjoy as a result. Failing to support Ukraine now might kick off an American losing streak that could take decades to overcome.
Commentary

Bolstering Ukraine's Irregular War Against Russia

As Ukrainian forces assume a more defensive posture, Kyiv's irregular warfare behind enemy lines becomes even more important. Ukrainian irregulars are already active, even striking distant targets in Russia. With Western support and technology, these silent warriors could become even more potent.

A New Approach for the U.S. Armed Forces: Q&A with David Ochmanek

The United States and its allies have a window of opportunity to bolster their security and prepare for the global challenges to come. But it's closing fast as China and other adversaries build up their own militaries. Business as usual is no longer sufficient.

MIA: An Alternate Strategy for Gaza

The international community cannot dictate a solution to the Israel-Hamas war by fiat. If the international community wants Israel to change strategies in Gaza, then it should offer a viable alternative strategy to Israel's announced goal of destroying Hamas in the strip. And right now, that alternate strategy simply does not exist.

Using Alternative History to Think Through Current and Future Problems

We can use history to help us understand what happened (and why) as a starting point for considering what might have occurred if things had turned out differently. This approach allows us to contemplate things not merely as they are, but how they might have been different with a tweak here and there.

Yes to Striking Iranian-Backed Militants

Strikes against state-backed militias like the Houthis degrade these groups' military capabilities. But such strikes will almost certainly not deter the group from launching additional attacks. They could, however, take key capabilities and leaders off the battlefield, challenging Iran and the militias it backs to field the same quantity and quality of attacks in the future.

Scared Strait

The foundations of the longstanding U.S. approach to Taiwan-China relations are crumbling in the face of growing Chinese military power and aggression. Washington can no longer rely on its existing policies in the hopes that what worked in the past will succeed in the future.
