“Crimea will remain unresolved for now but will serve as an enduring reminder that chauvinistic fanaticism is not the best point of departure for resolving complex issues. Putin’s actions are a threat not only to the West but also to Russia itself.”

“The Russians are at a loss. For more than half a century they were guided historically by a doctrine. The question now is what should replace it; they have answered in only one simple dimension, leadership: follow the leader, obey the leader, trust the leader.” ~@zbig (2014)

Sophisticated US leadership is the sine qua non of a stable world order. However, we lack the former while the latter is getting worse.

I’m pleased that @GazetaRu took my personal views seriously. It's not often a Russian newspaper does that to me! https://t.co/r8FXXisceN

Does America have a foreign policy right now?

[Zbigniew Brzezinski @zbig]

The President should outline why America is important to the world, but also why the world needs America. https://t.co/2SHujk1fM3

Regardless of any isolationist escapism or pro-Putin deference, the US, for its own interest, should reaffirm its support of Ukraine.

Refusing to take refugees only reinforces the IS narrative. Together with other NatSec leaders, I deplore xenophobia.https://t.co/rDqU0lJOsn

After entering the WH, Trump must give a major foreign policy speech that makes clear the new administration's objectives and principles.

[Zbigniew Brzezinski @zbig]

Trump is clearly a clever tactician, but is he a strategist? Time will tell, and at what cost?

Provocative actions in the Asia-Pacific without any coherent strategy destabilizes an already fragile region. Cui bono?

Can bullish oil deals translate into a nuanced diplomacy able to corral the international cooperation needed to address global issues?

[Zbigniew Brzezinski @zbig]

The American public and the global community need a major speech by Trump on foreign affairs that will set the tone for his administration.

[Zbigniew Brzezinski @zbig]

Can Trump project a steady tone with historic vision and commitment while also understanding how the world is dramatically changing?
