“Members of Washington’s foreign policy elite (which Ben Rhodes, Barack Obama’s deputy national security advisor, once labeled ‘the blob’ during a moment of candor) are extremely fond of ‘regime change’ as the preferred method for dealing with adversarial governments. Hawkish allies in Europe share that mentality. Some activists now want to see if the strategy can work to oust Russian president Vladimir Putin and end the war between Russia and Ukraine with a definitive victory for NATO’s Ukrainian proxy. A few hawks even advocate pursuing regime change in China. In both cases, the strategy likely would prove catastrophic.” (08/05/25)
