Western politicians, meanwhile, too often treat statesmanship like a social media popularity contest with little thought to the strategic implications of their actions. It is one thing sending defensive armaments to Kyiv, in an attempt to stiffen the Ukrainians’ resolve. It is quite another promising to send fighter jets that might be deemed by Russia to have an offensive purpose, or constitute a declaration of proxy war – as the EU did at the weekend. There is thus the non-negligible risk war might erupt by accident. …
Putin’s nihilistic fanaticism, in short, could alter the course of history not just for Ukraine but the world. The West must urgently respond with less romanticism and more realism.
