Summary:The one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an appropriate time to take stock of U.S. foreign policy towards the conflict. The stakes of the war are clearer for European countries, especially those closer to the fighting. However, after the midterm elections and half way through Joe Biden’s presidential term, is America still all-in as a supporter of Ukraine or has fatigue and the success of Trumpian isolationists tempered U.S. enthusiasm for acting as the arsenal of democracy? Add to this uncertainty, equally important questions about Biden’s willingness to continue to lead and to unify a Western military operation against Putin. The recent debate on whether and when to supply tanks to a Ukrainian army that was obviously in need of more heavy military hardware and more ammunition, suggests that cracks are appearing in leadership, unity, and the ability to arm the defender.
