Lessons from American Diplomacy Toward Lebanon

"America and its allies face new realities in the Middle East, requiring new concepts and approaches to resolving conflict and bringing stability to the region. Lebanon is a microcosm of the Middle East; the past conduct of American diplomacy there offers a wealth of information to help guide Washington through the current Middle East crisis." Read Ambassador David Hale's recent publication on the importance of steady American diplomatic engagement in the Middle East.

Moscow’s Aggression, Moldova’s Defiance

"Prior to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, 99 percent of Moldova’s energy needs were met through a Kremlin-controlled pipeline. Two years later, Moldova has largely stopped buying Russian natural gas, it’s continuing to criticize Russian expansionist policies, and it’s on a path to becoming a full member of the EU." Read Ambassador Mark Green's latest Stubborn Things blog post on Moldova's EU aspirations and shifting relations with Russia.
