Commentary Recently, a prominent American holder of high office and an eminent American academic and historical biographer proposed similar methods for resolving the war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who in an administration that had more capable and articulate spokespeople on foreign and strategic matters wouldn’t opine on the subject of war in Central…
Inviting China Into Ukraine Conflict Would Be a Grave Mistake for the West
State Department Missing in Action as World Changes Rapidly
Commentary The theme for incoming Secretary of State Antony Blinken in 2021 and the mantra for the entire Biden administration was clear: The adults are back in charge.
