It’s Time for the U.S. to Shift Strategy on Ukraine

an excerpt:

The Path Forward: Time for Negotiations

The U.S. has achieved its goal of weakening Russia. The continued war, however, presents diminishing returns and growing risks for the United States and the world, including threats of a nuclear war. The time has come for the U.S. to consider negotiations with Russia. Such negotiations will undoubtedly be challenging and will require significant concessions from Ukraine. Yet, the alternative—an unending war with no clear victor—poses even greater dangers.

The war has already exposed Russia’s vulnerabilities and significantly weakened its military and economic standing. By facilitating a negotiated settlement, the U.S. can focus on its increasing competition with China, a much stronger adversary than Russia.

A prolonged conflict risks further draining U.S. resources and weakening public support for international interventions. Therefore, the U.S. should pivot from prolonging the conflict to facilitating a negotiated settlement. Doing so will not only save lives and resources but also help restore global stability and enhance the United States’ standing in the international community.
