What criticism does Bill Roggio have about Europe's response to the Ukraine war?
Bill Roggio criticizes European nations for failing to treat the Ukraine conflict as the existential threat they claim it to be. Despite European leaders portraying the war as a major continental threat, they have primarily relied on the United States to 'do the heavy lifting' rather than making significant military contributions themselves. Roggio suggests that Europeans should take more responsibility by producing weapons, arming Ukraine, and even committing their own troops on the ground. He points out that Europeans are now 'in a tizzy' as they realize the United States isn't going to continue bearing most of the burden, forcing them to potentially take more direct action in a conflict that directly impacts their security.

What is necessary for effective negotiations with Russia in the Ukraine conflict?
According to defense analyst Bill Roggio, unless the US and NATO are willing to commit boots on the ground and deploy their own hardware to directly confront Russia, some form of accommodation will be necessary in negotiations. The harsh reality is that Ukraine is outmatched in both manpower and resources, while Russia remains committed to the conflict and continues to gain territory. Without significant Western military commitment, Ukraine faces increasingly difficult circumstances, as Russians are poised to take more ground over time, requiring tough concessions in any peace negotiations.
