Firing Line debate "The US should prioritize Taiwan over Ukraine." 

I like the fact that Professor Snyder does mention that Taiwan want Ukraine to be prioritised. I had this feeling for a long time, talking to my local friends, a lot of the ppl think that if Ukraine wins - China won't attack

Professor Snyder's answer to the NATO enlargement question is interesting in that he basically argues the opposite of the claim he tries to debunk, which itself is problematic. Sure NATO enlarged because of the "fears and lived experiences" of the Eastern Flank states, but this is not the full picture. To say that would be to say that effectively the existing member states had no choice whether or not to admit them into NATO. This is ironic in that the argument that Mr. Snyder seeks to disprove holds that NATO was the proactive actor in the process of enlargement, stripping the eastern flank states of autonomy. The reality is, both sides collaborated to bring about this enlargement.

Mr. Colby constantly says how wrong Professor Snyder is, but Professor Snyder is all the time saying that Colby is right, and threats are real and coalitions are the solutions, but he sees a different approach to it, the one that is based on the historical similarities. And after so many different talks of Professor Snyder I retrospectively watched after russian invasion, it does look like we need to pay attention this time...History doesn't repeat, but it does instruct indeed
