@delphiglobal.bsky.social fellow Batu Kutelia and Kathleen Collins make a compelling argument for seeing Russia with clear eyes. This means ending the impulse to reset relations with the Kremlin, and returning to the Reagan era doctrine of peace through strength. www.twincities.com/2025/10/26/c...

(1/3) NATO’s response to Russia’s violation of Polish airspace with multiple drones should be more than stern words. NATO should declare a no-fly zone over western Ukraine, with NATO assets deployed on the ground in Ukraine to enforce it.
