With Russia on the brink of invading Ukraine, the United States and its allies are scrambling to prevent hostilities without acceding to Vladimir Putin’s impossible demands. Given the recent examples of Russia’s expansionist intentions—the 2008 Georgia invasion and 2014 Crimea annexation—shouldn’t the West have been better prepared for the current crisis? What are America’s current options, and what measures should the United States take if Putin does invade? Please join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Michael Doran for a discussion with former Commanding General, United States Army Europe Ben Hodges on the measures America can take to protect Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.
NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, and Poland have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. But no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit.
This event will discuss the failed policy of 2-percent inflation, the restoration of a true monetary base, checks and balances on the Federal Reserve, free market interest rates, and other fundamental reforms to America’s ailing money regime.
Please join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Dr. Patrick Cronin for a conversation with Ambassador Fick on the intersection of strategy, technology, and diplomacy.
Please join Hudson Senior Fellow Michael Doran as he moderates a discussion with a panel of experts on Turkish politics to unpack what this decisive victory means for US-Turkey relations, the war in Ukraine, and the balance of power in the Middle East.
