"What Should the United States Fight For? - A dialogue on Ukraine, nuclear weapons and the US global role

What is the United States' role in the world today: Retreat or Engage? From Russia's invasion of Ukraine to defending human rights, the US faces choices. Leading international security experts Joe Cirincione and Kori Schake, from the left and right, will explore US choices. They will be in dialogue over how the US should meet its aims, when to use force, how to address China's role, and consider nuclear weapons and defending democracy. The discussion will be informed by Schake’s recent trip to Ukraine and her meeting with President Zelensky.
