Biden's 'as long as it takes' strategy is not good for Ukraine WashTimesOpEd
After the administration’s spectacular failure of deterrence early last year, President Biden’s recent declaration of support for “as long as it takes” is not a strategy. It is a slogan. It is also a harbinger of U.S. entanglement in another forever war, even if by proxy, and the increased likelihood of a frozen conflict — none of which serves our interests. Reaching a decisive end state that eliminates Russia as a geopolitical threat to allow a pivot to the Indo-Pacific, however, does.
What is needed now is a clear-eyed, strong commitment to rapidly give the Ukrainians what they need to decimate committed Russian forces in Ukraine and disrupt their supply chain logistics. Arming Ukraine with this necessary military equipment must come with the precondition that upon decisive battlefield success across large swaths of eastern Ukraine, negotiations must occur in earnest.
Moreover, while this war may have been an attempt by Russia to upend the world order in their favor, it’s instead accelerating a shift in the center of gravity in Europe away from Germany and France to Poland and the Baltics. Unfortunately, it is also demonstrating the U.S,’s inability to effectively bring together multiregional coalitions with Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, India, Turkey and Indonesia on the sidelines.
