This week on Alternate Shots, John Ellis and Richard Haass examine a world in which wars of choice are producing consequences nobody quite knows how to manage. They begin with Ukraine (Putin’s war of choice), where Haass calls American policy toward Russia nothing short of shameful, and the decision to restrict Ukraine’s military communications raises deeply troubling questions about Washington’s reliability and priorities. From there, they turn to Saudi Arabia, a Saudi war of choice in 2015 and where now the Houthis are threatening not simply the kingdom’s security but potentially the legitimacy and stability of the House of Saud itself. The parallels with America’s predicament in Iran (Trump’s war of choice) are, shall we say, uncomfortable. Also on the agenda: Germany’s economic malaise, Europe’s absence from the AI race, and the disturbing normalization of political violence in the United States. Finally, the Yankees and Dodgers discover that money cannot buy everything, while baseball’s smaller markets remind us that competence can more than compensate for payroll.
