“ Anyone who doesn't have any hard power to bring to bear won't be taken seriously by an autocrat. Europe plays no role for Putin. He wants to divide Europe, and part of the attempt to divide it is not to talk to Europe at all.”

“ Leaders need to talk. The assessment of this move depends on the message Scholz is going to deliver to Putin. And Scholz must make clear to him that he is serious, ready to impose substantial costs on Russia for further aggression against Ukraine.”
“ That scenario is being debated quite a bit here in Washington. What’s going to happen if we have two theaters of war, two theaters of tension, at the same time? Can the United States handle that? Having moved to the US for a research project involving Russia, China, and the US, I see growing concern about the Russia-China relationship ramp-up in recent weeks.”

“ It seems that the [US] administration is coming to the conclusion that the threat from Russia and the threat of what could happen in Ukraine has a profound impact on the national security of the United States and the transatlantic community, in fact, on global security. And I think we're on the verge of a much more powerful response from the West than previously thought.”
