"If Russia wins this war, European security will be in ruins" – President Emmanuel Macron. What does that mean? Possible French boots on the ground would seem to mean U.S. boots on the ground as well. How many of us recall or have seen historical documentaries showing Russian soldiers walking the streets of Berlin? Could it happen again? There is more. The bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas, coupled with the saber-rattling by General Secretary Xi Jinping about China's intention to invade and subjugate Taiwan brings us closer to a global conflict the likes of which we have not seen since 1945. With the help of the U.S. and NATO countries, Ukraine has stopped Russia in its tracks. The battle lines have been about the same since March 2022, but will they hold? Will Ukraine be strong enough to defeat Russia and take back occupied areas, including Donbas and Crimea? What strategies might help Ukraine achieve its goal? They cannot do it alone nor will it be easy, but can the Putin juggernaut be stopped?
Purpose: Learn about what can be done to help Ukraine win the war and the consequences if Russia were to win instead
Facilitator: Mike Quinlan
