Testimony
U.S.-Russia Relations in the Aftermath of the Georgia Crisis
In the wake of the Russia-Georgia conflict, the United States should pursue a comprehensive 12 step strategy towards its relations with Russia. Although this strategy would focus on protecting American national interests, it does not exclude directly speaking with the Russians. Consequently, it stresses that cooperation on certain issues and successful diplomacy are essential for the two nations.

Although this strategy would focus on protecting American national interests, it does not exclude directly speaking with the Russians. Consequently, although McFaul reaffirms the need to recognize the territorial integrity of Georgia, he also stresses that cooperation and successful diplomacy in areas such as nuclear nonproliferation and dealings with Iran are essential for the two nations.
