The West should not set "red lines".
By the way, these ladies speak with a mix of Belarus/Ukrainian accents—fricative "g" and some other small details.
Yes. It has been repeated again! The opportunity was lost in early February-2022. Putin should have been informed confidentially, that should he take military action, NATO would take military action. I don't care whether the NATO block was allowed by their constitution to do this or not, I'm only saying that was the best opportunity. I realize most on this thread will disagree, but that's my opinion. I don't see how Ukraine wins this now.It boils down to willing to enforce those red-lines, and quite frankly there's not enough cohesion in NATO to ensure that. We in America could handle it alone if need be, but even we are not cohesive enough to support bitch-slapping Putin as he needs.
It's a weakness of democracies the even Hitler 85 years ago took advantage of at Munich. We must have internal unity before going to war, because we do not go to war on command.
