As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues and China’s military buildup threatens Taiwan, the US is grappling with how to respond. Does supporting Ukraine undermine US and allied efforts to deter China? Or would propelling Ukraine to victory over Russia be a crucial first step to dismantling a new axis of revisionist powers in Eurasia?

Please join Hudson Institute for a debate between Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters and Marathon Initiative Co-Founder and Principal Elbridge Colby on whether Ukrainian victory is critically important for deterring war in Taiwan.
