U.S. Strategy vs. Russia: Regime Change, Encirclement, or Both?

U.S. Strategy vs. Russia: Regime Change, Encirclement, or Both?

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how Joe Biden deepened the war in Ukraine during a trip to Poland over the weekend when he declared that Russian president Putin “cannot remain in power.” As the United States and other NATO powers raise the stakes, is there any hope for a breakthrough in negotiations? The panel also discusses the administration’s massive new military spending proposal, protests against British colonialism in the Caribbean, the death of Madeline Albright, the debate over Russian oil purchases, and more.
