Opinion by Jason Willick: How Biden’s Ukraine strategy benefits
That is not what the influential liberal internationalists in Biden’s elite base want to hear, or what Biden’s rhetoric has suggested they can expect. Nor, of course, is it what Ukraine’s courageous defenders want to hear. While Biden clearly envisions a viable, well-armed Ukraine as part of any settlement, he likely sees the risks and costs associated with Kyiv’s version of victory as too high for the U.S. government to bear.
Signs of internal American discord over the war in Ukraine could embolden Putin, it is true. But democracies rarely have the luxury of fighting wars as a unified front. The challenge for a foreign-policy leader isn’t to create uniform agreement, but to leverage disagreement in pursuit of the national interest.Republican skepticism of the war is likely to persist, and one interpretation is that this will undercut America’s strategic objectives.
