[Salon] tired of the mainstream takes on Russia crisis?

[Kelley Vlahos <vlahos@quincyinst.org>]

So are we. I've got two pieces on Responsible Statecraft today offering alternative views on how Biden can avoid war with Russia (though the mainstream media/establishment seems to want a fight very badly, given the weekend talk shows)

1) Anatol Lieven on what the Biden Administration can bring to the bargaining table when he meets with Lavrov this week (great substance here): https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/02/21/what-the-us-should-offer-russia-to-stave-off-war-in-ukraine/

2) Marcus Stanley warns what will happen to the world economy and the current state of inflation if the West has to move on economic sanctions (warfare) against Russia (again lots of meat here): https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/02/21/the-real-fallout-of-economic-warfare-with-russia/

Thanks and Happy George Washington's Birthday :)
