WP: US and allies should “play the long game” in Ukraine like Russia

The United States, along with its allies, must begin to “play the long game” in the Ukrainian conflict, as Russia is doing. This is what columnist Richard Nelson thinks in his article for the publication. The Washington Post.

According to him, the fighting in Ukraine recalled the importance of long-term competitive strategies of the Cold War, the key point of which was to compare one’s strengths and the enemy’s weaknesses.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin has an idea of ​​such long-term thinking,” the journalist believes.

Nelson added that Moscow understands that “impatience can be the fatal flaw of democracies” because they prefer the simplest and short-term options.
