Poll: U.S. public opinion shifting on Ukraine

MR OnlineFebruary 13, 2023

According to a poll conducted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Data for Progress in September, 57% of likely voters strongly or somewhat support the U.S. pursuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, even if it requires Ukraine making compromises with Russia.

Likewise, according to 49% of likely voters, the Biden administration and Congress need to do more diplomatically to help end the war; 61% said they believe the war has impacted them financially on some level.

Michael Gibson: A Voice in the Wilderness: Stephen F. Cohen’s Russia (Oct. 2020)

christian socialismFebruary 10, 2023

Far from a defense or exculpation of Trump (or Putin), Stephen F. Cohen’s ardent concern is the diminishing ability of any administration to foreclose on or maneuver to avoid the possibility of nuclear conflict.

From the Archives: Stephen F. Cohen: The scary void inside Russiagate (Jan. 2018)

Canadian dimension February 10, 2023

Russiagate began sometime prior to June 2016, not after the presidential election in November, as is often said, as an anti-Trump political project (exactly why, how, and by whom remain unclear, and herein lies the real significance of the largely bogus “dossier” and the still murky role of top US intel officials in the creation of that document).

That said, the mainstream American media have been largely responsible for inflating, perpetuating, and sustaining the sham Russiagate as the real political crisis it has become, arguably the greatest in modern American presidential and thus institutional political history.

Christopher Caldwell: Russia and Ukraine Have Incentives to Negotiate. The U.S. Has Other Plans.

NYTFebruary 7, 2023

The United States’ recent promise to ship advanced M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine was a swift response to a serious problem. The problem is that Ukraine is losing the war. Not, as far as we can tell, because its soldiers are fighting poorly or its people have lost heart, but because the war has settled into a World War I-style battle of attrition, complete with carefully dug trenches and relatively stable fronts.

A growing portion of Americans think that the U.S. is giving too much support to Ukraine, as the Biden administration and other western allies have taken steps in recent weeks to escalate their backing of the country in its war against Russia.

MK Bhadrakumar: Ukraine war’s first anniversary and beyond

indian punchlineFebruary 6, 2023

The Kremlin has put necessary mechanisms in place to galvanise the defence industry and the economy to meet the needs of the military operations in Ukraine. From a long-term perspective, one historic outcome of the conflict is going to be Russia’s emergence as an unassailable military power that draws comparison with the Soviet Red Army, which the West will never again dare to confront. This is yet to sink in.

Sevim Dagdelen, MP, German Bundestag: German Tanks Against Russia? A Historic Mistake

Those now promoting the path to war with ever more, ever heavier weapons, sparing no thought for the costs, are the expression of a veritably apocalyptic mood in our society which no longer believes in real social progress.

Bob Woodward: American public was ‘cheated’ by media during Russiagate

just the newsFebruary 1, 2023

Woodward, who rose to fame during the 1970s with the Watergate scandal and resignation of former President Richard Nixon, told Gerth the Russia probe “wasn’t handled well.” He even went so far as to accuse the mainstream press of having “cheated” the public out of the truth.

Woodward urged modern newsrooms to “walk down the painful road of introspection,” as they look back on their failures with the Russia-collusion stories. He also described Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the matter as having no teeth — but said it was good enough to serve as anti-Trump fodder for the media, just the same.

Andrew Cockburn: More Magic Weapons for Ukraine

spoilsofwar.substack.comFebruary 1, 2023

News that the U.S. plans to send M-1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine makes clear that our proxy war effort is definitively divorced from military reality.  The Abrams, by the Pentagon’s own admission demands intensive maintenance and highly trained crews. Furthermore, unlike any other vehicle on the battlefield, it has poor mileage and runs on jet fuel, thereby necessitating a whole separate fuel supply system. (Then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld forced the Army to buy this jet-engined monstrosity back in the 1970s in order to save the failing Chrysler Corporation.)

ACURA’s Nicolai N. Petro: The Tragedy of Ukraine

the nationJanuary 31, 2023

In his most recent book, The Tragedy of Ukraine: What Classical Greek Tragedy Can Teach Us About Conflict Resolution (De Gruyter, 2023), professor Nicolai N. Petro argues that the conflict in Ukraine has deep domestic roots. Reconciliation will require untangling these roots and embracing a change of heart, or catharsis. Classical Greek tragedy can assist in this, he argues, because it once performed a similar therapeutic function in Athenian society.

Frank Costigliola: George Kennan’s Warning on Ukraine

foreign affairsJanuary 31, 2023

Notwithstanding the vicissitudes of the last 75 years, Kennan’s advice remains relevant today. A federation allowing for regional autonomy in eastern Ukraine and perhaps even in Crimea could help both sides coexist. Many analysts tend to portray the current conflict as “Putin’s war,” but Kennan believed that almost any strong Russian leader would eventually push back against the total separation of Ukraine. Finally, the realities of demography and geography dictate that Russia in the long run will remain the principal power in these often tragic “bloodlands.” For the sake of both regional stability and long-term U.S. security, Washington needs to sustain a hardheaded, clear-eyed empathy for the interests of the Russians as well as of the Ukrainians and other nationalities.
