NATO has said that they see a high probability of an outright Russian invasion of Ukraine. What is the reaction to this? This morning, I am very anxious about the state of the world, and if Vladimir Putin has his way (as apparently, the West is allowing him to do so) things are not going to get much better in the foreseeable future. The nations of the NATO alliance simply do not seem to have the stomach to stand up to Putin in any substantive way, and it’s easy to see why they don’t. Putin is a bully and he is about to bully his way into a sovereign country for one reason only–because he can.
Why is the West at such a loss to handle Putin? The reason is simple. It needs him. There are Russian oil demands to be met in Europe and the nations of Nato are reluctant to make Putin mad. America has been suffering from war-weariness after more than a decade of foreign conflict and its people are in no mood to take on the mighty Russian Bear.
So…clear field for Putin to do pretty much whatever he feels like doing. And this, friends, is exactly what he’s going to do.
Why? Because there don’t seem to be very many reasons not to.
