Again, the western alliance is not making a bad a show of it. They just gave their written response to Putin’s demands in tandem, one from the US and one from NATO on whole. Both continued to hold the line on the sovereignty of Eastern European nations.
I tend to agree that Putin is likely to go in deep. He’s a loser either way but he might as well look like a strong loser. Sometimes when the future is bleak people become self destructive just to get it over with. Occupying Ukraine will bring about an extensive conflict and that is the way we should go because we (the alliance) will ultimately outlast the Russians and prevail.
