A solid analysis, but if Kissinger’s hegemony or balance-of-power dichotomy is valid shouldn’t we being seeking to end the war from a position of strength?
For me this is the greatest failure of the Biden-Harris policy towards Ukraine. Rather than strengthen Ukraine to a position from which diplomacy can end the war, the US has pursued barely propping them up presumably to drag the conflict out and slowly bleed Russian strength.
However, despite how obviously unethical and ineffective that strategy has become, the Republicans have managed to settle into one of the the only policies that’s worse: wholesale abandonment of Ukraine and actively undermining our own zone of influence (NATO). I don’t see that factoring into either fork or Kissinger’s dichotomy
