What changed? In this episode of The Valley Current\u00ae, host Jack Russo examines how soaring fuel prices and midterm pressure collided with Washington\u2019s strategy in Ukraine, giving Moscow valuable logistical relief while raising questions about the credibility of U.S. sanctions. Jack also digs into Senator Thom Tillis\u2019s warning about \u201ccourage outsourcing\u201d in Congress and uses game theory to show how political self-preservation at home can weaken American leverage abroad. From Russian refineries to the Roman Republic, the deeper issue is whether unpredictable policy is strategic flexibility or a sign that the institutions meant to provide consistency are losing their grip.
