Failing to back NATO membership for Ukraine, U.S. cedes Pacific to China WashTimesOpEd
On the agenda are Ukrainian membership, an issue sidestepped by the United States, Germany and others even after Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008, annexation of Crimea in 2014 and support for separatists in Luhansk and Donetsk.
An end to hostilities without Article 5 guarantees and U.S. and other NATO troops positioned in Ukraine, as they are in other Eastern European states, is an invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin or a successor to regroup and try again — perhaps with radically different kinetic tactics. After hostilities end, either NATO puts troops in Ukraine and provides Kyiv with cutting-edge weapons that put the fear of God into Russia’s generals, or enhanced security commitments are made that are akin to the promises a thrice-cheating spouse makes in marriage counseling.
Then any negotiated solution would then leave Mr. Putin, or a similar successor, in power. That’s a fool’s errand.
