This Perspective argues that NATO needs a comprehensive strategy for Russia. With a view toward developing such a strategy, the authors describe and assess the prospective costs and benefits of two options--(1) punishment and disengagement and (2) resilience and engagement. While the authors favor the latter approach, they argue first and foremost for the importance of developing a coherent, consistent set of policies in line with NATO's values and its goals for security in Europe. While NATO is unequivocal and united in its opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine, the February 2015 Munich Security Conference highlighted the continuing debate within the Alliance about what to do next. Rather than focusing solely on individual hot topics--for example, providing lethal military aid to Ukraine--it is time for NATO leaders to step back and take a longer view.
