[Salon] The tragedy of Crimea

[Kelley Vlahos <vlahos@quincyinst.org>]

Hello all and happy Thanksgiving weekend. Just wanted to point you to two great pieces on RS today. Nicolai Petro goes through the political history of Crimea and why it would be a nightmare for Zelensky to try and take it back. A great read: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/11/25/the-tragedy-of-crimea/

Also, Dan Larison takes on an (admittedly weak) attempt by George Packer in the Atlantic to undermine realists and restrainers on foreign policy and re-animate the American world order while trying to repackage it as a "new" foreign policy for our times. Like I say in the headline, a real turkey! https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/11/24/george-packers-attempt-to-carve-up-restraint-is-a-real-turkey/

All the best,

Kelley
