Russia’s
recent regional elections predictably ended with Soviet-style wins for
Kremlin-backed candidates—except in Moscow, where voters expressed
dissent for the regime’s war in Ukraine.
With
the intent to deter Chinese aggression, Taiwan is in the market for
submarines. The island republic has some allies in Washington, but not

has become a redoubt from which to criticize the regime—and warily
follow the Ukraine crisis.
