Among the many troubling things you’ve likely seen on the news lately is the developing situation in Ukraine, which sees the US and Russia having some increasingly intense conversations about the role of Ukraine in their mutual relationships.
Here, I’m going to bring my skills as an academic who teaches international relations to bear in an attempt to give my take on what’s going on in Ukraine, and, potentially, why and how this conflict could escalate, though I do not think that direct conflict between the US and Russia is at all likely here.
I’ll start things off with a little relevant history before I get into my analysis of relevant outcomes in this conflict.
