Peter Brian Hegseth: If this war does not end, if there is no path to peace in the short term, then the United States, along with our allies, will take the steps necessary to impose costs on Russia. If we must take this step, the US War Department stands ready to do our part in ways that only the United States can do.

Dmitry Trenin: The time for illusions is over. We are in a world war. Russia is directly engaged in Ukraine, holds stakes in the Middle East, and may become involved in the Pacific.

American foreign policy remains fundamentally adversarial. European powers like Britain, France, and Germany must be made to understand they are vulnerable. Their capitals are not immune. The same message should reach Finland, Poland, and the Baltics.

The only path forward is through bold, strategic action.
