Dear CCI Friends,
In the following interview, Glenn Diesen discusses the current Russian military planning and its on-ground execution with a man with a unique perspective. Born in Russia, Stanislav Krapivnik’s father was a dissident who emigrated with his family to the United States in the 1970’s. Stanislav grew up here and became a US Army officer – now he is back in Russia. What he gives us is an account of the war, and what we may expect relations between Russia and the West to be in the foreseeable future, from a Russian point of view absent in our press.

While we contemplate the ramifications of the disastrous war in Ukraine we might also ask ourselves how and why the fiasco came about. Kautilya the Contemplator (again!) provides a deeply thoughtful analysis of the situation.
Why Is US Foreign Policy an Embarrassing Mess?
