    • Abstract:
      It's simply one move of a long game in which America is the aggressive player, Russia a threatened opponent capable of being restored to reason, and Ukraine a hapless pawn. In the U.S., arming Ukraine still has bipartisan backing in Congress and from the public, but a Republican win in the midterm elections could allow the party's Trumpist wing to block military aid; and if Trump is reelected in 2024, the U.S. might well switch sides. Culture & Critics A national mood disorder afflicts America, causing wild swings between mania and despair, superhuman exertion and bruised withdrawal. [Extracted from the article]
