"....as well as a victorious Russia that directly threatens its borders."
My grandfather told me how war drunken the German were after Hitlers successful 'Blitzkrieg' against Poland. The chering hords of the Nazis even beat up WW1 veterans in public, who warned about the effects of further escalation, and the concept of the 'Herrenrasse' was prominent in the heads of the German population.
Just listen to Solowjows daily propaganda! The risks of a 'victorious Russia', the consequences that may arise from that for peace and global security, are completely underrated in the West....
Great post Fabian. With the latest news that the US are going to deploy a THAAD missile battery to Israel, does this not further expose just how fickle Ukraines western allies have been.
I remember Boris Johnson speaking in a press conference in Poland shortly after the Russian full scale invasion. A young Ukrainian activist asked his some pointed questions about a no fly zone, and Boris looked pained but had to say that was out of the question.
But given how weak NATO has been and has not even shot down Russian drones in our own airspace we have to question their commitment to even defend NATO.
Let's assume that the NATO allies minimises their risk of escalation. This would slow down the most effective military support for Ukraine. This is a >>time risk<< for the UA and leads to a lack of defence and offensive capabilities, as a result of the delay of lifting the restrictions of long-range strike weapons. Finally it gives RU time to regenerate its military forces.

Agreed. A 100 %.

Would welcome your thoughts Fabian.
