A rather long but quite balanced assessment of the current situation in Ukraine by Lewis Page. The sort of detailed analysis one rarely sees on a US site of any direction. Our failure to provide ATACMS is really frustrating and perplexing - particularly with the UK is providing Storm Shadow.
The summary captures my sense of the conflict pretty closely.
Kori Schake, senior defence analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, perhaps put it best in a recent interview with CNN: “For about 5pc of US defence spending last year, and zero American military casualties, the Ukrainians are destroying the Russian military. And that is absolutely in America’s interests.”
Looked at that way, Western military aid to Ukraine is an excellent investment: we should clearly be sending more of it.
