Russia's offensive has culminated. Now what?
Jane Burbank, New York Times
President Vladimir Putin's bloody assault on Ukraine, nearly a month in, still seems inexplicable. Rockets raining down on apartment buildings and fleeing families are now Russia's face to the world.

Nuclear saber-rattling has produced significant concern that the Russian president would also consider crossing the nuclear threshold. With fighting...

After all, there are humanitarian crises taking place in Yemen, Syria and other countries as I write this. From a geopolitical perspective, the war is potentially a watershed moment - that is, if European politico-military unity endures, creating a new model of Europe and redefining the functioning of the global system.
