| Three Questions |
|
Associate Professor Keith Darden answers three questions on the conflict in Ukraine: "U.S. weapons would not deter Russia or the separatists from taking more territory. It would give them incentives to push further than they might otherwise intend to go.�
Distinguished Scholar in Residence Nora Bensahel answers three questions on the defense budget and Pentagon confirmation hearings: "The defense budget will remain limited to $499 billion, and the big debate over the next few months will be about how to allocate the $35 billion in required cuts.�
Assistant Professor Stephen Tankel answers three questions on U.S.-India Relations: �Obama�s attendance at Republic Day suggests that, for all the constraints that exist, the relationship is on the right track and growing stronger.� |
