Yes, this is a very abrupt awakening from the general idea that Corona was handled well and thinking we can do everything.
Here is Putin with the might of Russia at his disposal, a very different challenge altogether.
As you, i fear that the leaders are not geared towards this kind of conflict at all.
I would consider calling Putins bluff by accepting Finland and Sweden as NATO members. But only if the two countries agrees.
If indeed there is interest, NATO should admit the two in a day or two.
- watwut 5y agoWhat does this have to do with Corona, exactly?
- sharken 5y agoNothing per se, except the fact that Corona was an unknown virus that challenged leaders in the EU and US. And now there is a new challenge of a very different kind, one that won't go away as easily. That challenge is what we fear that the leaders are unable to find a good response to.
- avgcorrection 5y agoWell, I thought that Putin was bluffing and wouldn’t even officially send troops into Donbas.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> I would consider calling Putins bluff by accepting Finland and Sweden as NATO members. But only if the two countries agrees. Yeah, NATO can't involuntarily admit members anyway. > If indeed there is interest, NATO should admit the two in a day or two. NATO membership is an active issue in both, but not something on which a political decision has been made.
