• Russia Has yet to Slow a Western Arms Express Into Ukraine

  April 13, 2022

  Robert Bell, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the piece, 'Russia Has yet to Slow a Western Arms Express Into Ukraine', which aired on April 13, 2022 on Associated Press.

  An excerpt:

  The Russians also face practical obstacles. Robert G. Bell, a longtime NATO official and now a professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech University, said the shipments lend themselves to being hidden or disguised in ways that can make them elusive to the Russians — “short of having a network of espionage on the scene” to pinpoint the convoys’ movements.

• Blinken: We Cannot Confirm the Use of Chemical Weapons in Ukraine

  April 12, 2022

  Margaret E. Kosal, an associate professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the article, 'Blinken: We Cannot Confirm the Use of Chemical Weapons in Ukraine' which was published on April 12, 2022 on Voice of America.

  An excerpt:

  First of all, you need to get evidence. One type of weapon that could conceivably have been used, and which is often used in urban warfare, is white phosphorus. White phosphorus is not a chemical weapon. It is used primarily as a smoke generating agent, which can also be used as a military incendiary. Phosphorus can cause burns and harm people if used accidentally or intentionally. It does not apply to chemical weapons, but falls under the existing ban on the use of indiscriminate weapons against civilians. And this, in any case, qualifies as a war crime,’ says Kosal.

  What Putin wants is to turn back the clock, he wants to go back to a society where democracy as a social regime did not exist. It's not just about political democracy or elections, it's the idea that people should be prisoners, not have freedoms, not be free to change their professions, to move. It is the idea of going back to serfdom in a very deep way.

And one more really is not a tactical effect on the battlefield. I think they're just trying to get the world's attention that we're willing to escalate this business here.
