With Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on the verge of igniting a war in Ukraine drawing in the United States and NATO forces in a high-stakes standoff, President Joe Biden faces his presidency’s toughest foreign policy challenge.
To understand what is at stake and whether Washington has been caught on the wrong foot, spoke to former US National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.
The interview came amid a comment by Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the United States’ recent written response to its security demands contained “a kernel of rationality” for a possible compromise on issues like missile deployments and military exercises. This even as a White House spokesperson said Biden believes Putin could invade Ukraine in February.
