Reading by Jeffrey D. Sachs. Essay available on The Hill: https://thehill.com/opinion/internati... Ukraine can only be saved at the negotiating table, not on the
battlefield. Sadly, this point is not understood by Ukrainian politicians such
as Oleg Dunda, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, who recently wrote an op ed on
this site against my repeated call for negotiations. Dunda believes that the
U.S. will save Ukraine from Russia. The opposite is true. Ukraine actually
needs to be saved from the U.S. Ukraine epitomizes Henry Kissinger’s famous
aphorism, “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s
friend is fatal.” Thirty years ago, Ukraine was embraced by America’s
neoconservatives, who believed that it was the perfect instrument for weakening
Russia. The neocons are the ideological believers in American hegemony, that
is, the right and responsibility of the U.S. to be the world’s sole superpower
and global policeman (as described, for example, in the Project for a New
American Century’s 2000 report, “Rebuilding America’s Defenses”). The neocons
chose three methods to push U.S. power and influence into Ukraine: first,
meddle in Ukraine’s internal politics; second, expand NATO to Ukraine, despite
Russia’s red line; and third, arm Ukraine and apply economic sanctions to
defeat Russia. Read the rest of the essay here: https://thehill.com/opinion/internati...
