I found an excellent commentary from RAND corporation about the present involvement of the United States (US) in the Russia-Ukraine War.According to their website: “RAND is a research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. RAND is nonprofit, nonpartisan, and committed to the public interest.”I have been following RAND ever since I started my International Relations (IR) courses at the university as an undergrad. My advisor recommended them to me, and I’ll do the same by recommending them to you. This latest writing by Samuel Charap and Jeremy Shapiro of RAND about the US and Ukraine is insightful and a little controversial. Have a look at it .Now, here are my thoughts on the article.

“This isn’t the first time the United States, under pressure from Ukraine and Western allies, has crossed a threshold previously deemed too escalatory. Past decisions on HIMARS launchers, cluster bombs, long-range munitions, and F-16s were also driven by perceived Russian gains on the battlefield.
