Some U.S. national security experts have taken to calling this group “the axis of upheaval” or “the axis of autocracy,” warning that the United States must center this entente in its foreign policy and focus on containing or defeating it.

It seems like the war in Ukraine is on the brink of escalating to a new level.

As the world evolves, the United States must adapt or suffer the consequences. The process of adaptation, however, is usually plodding, if it happens at all. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden each attempted to steer U.S. foreign policy in new directions but met resistance from both domestic and foreign actors.

The United States is in a trying position with two of its most consequential foreign friends: Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Washington has provided broad military backing to both, even when their actions run counter to long-term US interests. A more clear-eyed approach is needed.
