Countering Russia’s Horizontal War

This is an important essay from Nicolas Tenzer. Democratic nations have for years been unable to formulate, coordinate, execute, and sustain a common foreign policy commensurate with the gravity of the threats they face. This inability goes far beyond any one leader or local personality contest. Since the end of the Cold War, there has been no overarching vision. Policies vacillate wildly from one administration to the next. Policy-making bodies don’t grasp how and why the crises they’re trying to solve are linked. Democracies have been passive and reactive, not active and strategic–and the enemies of liberal democracy are fully aware of our limitations.

I have no idea how to solve this problem, but the first step is describing it, as Nicolas Tenzer does, here, very well.
