The West should not set "red lines".
West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
Former German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger says Western leaders should be making more threats and be willing to follow them through.www.politico.eu
In doing so, you provide Moscow with an idea of just how far they can push their luck, assuming of course, that the West is ready to enforce it.
There has been one red line laid down, however, and it was by Washington:
no nukes of any kind.

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 that 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.

Surprise, and not an advantage in guns and launchers, was the key to Ukraine’ s August success.

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.
Unfortunately, Canada punches well below its weight.
