“It may seem like ancient history, but 1944 is eerily similar to 2024. Then as now, Americans chose their president as war raged in Europe. By the time votes were cast in 1944, a large swath of Central and Eastern Europe lay in the hands of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, thanks in large part to bad deals made over the heads of allies in the region. European security was divided into two camps, creating a global great power rivalry that lasted half a century. Like then, the outcome of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war will be decided not only on the battlefield — where Ukraine is seeking to gain a just peace through a show of strength by literally taking the fight to Russia, but also in voting booths across the US and the corridors of power in Washington, DC after the next president defines a foreign policy agenda.” (10/01/24)
