Summary

Could the conflict between Russia and Ukraine turn into a long-term war in Europe? Is World War III on the horizon? How will America be affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? And what can China’s response to the situation tell us?

Luke Coffey, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to answer these questions and explain what Russia ultimately hopes to achieve from the invasion. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news organization.)

America, and many European nations, likely will face significant challenges because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict Coffey says, because it “doesn’t take a great leap of imagination to see how this conflict could spill over, could spiral out of control.”
