Putin considers the West to be weak and slow and in many respects this is true. Putin makes decisions that go unchallenged and are instigated almost straight away. This is one of the benefits of being a dictator. In comparison the decisions made by the West are slow and often watered down. Before making these decisions there has been a period of debate and considerations that often water proposals down to nothing.
Putin considers the West to be weak probably because of the ways that NATO and the West operste. Think of NATO: it must get unanimous support before it can implement anything. Also NATO is hampered by having Victor Oban of Hungary in it’s ranks. Oban is supportive of Putin which makes matters much worse. So in many ways Putin is right to consider the West as being weak and slow and beaurocratic.
Time for the West to kick Putin’s Ass
The West does need to get tougher. Instead of being reactionary to the whims of Putin the West needs to be more agressive and shos more brinkmanship. It needs to be more reactive and it needs more efficient decision making. So far Putin has been bluffing most of the way. He was going to go nuclear at many points due to not liking how the West was supporting the Ukraine in this conflict. He was considering the nuclear option when the West decided to allow Ukraine to use missiles supplied by the West. So perhaps now it’s time to get tougher with Putin.
Putin considers the West to be weak and it’s time to teach him a lesson. The things that the West needs to address is the speed of it’s decisions and to eliminate the need for unanimous agreement especially at NATO level. We need a War Cabinet rather than a huge council. Decisions need to be made with more speed as well. Also it might be worth considering expelling America from NATO decisions and to go alone with Trump.
At the moment Putin is attacking NATO through the weakness of President Trump who more and more appears to be a Russian Asset rather than an American President. So maybe it’s time to go it alone.
Pressing issues worth considering are immediate acceptance of Ukraine into NATO. Thst would particularly piss Putin off. The next would be getting a NATO presence in Ukraine as quickly as possible with active duties to repel any Russian aggression. Yes that means killing Russians.
Putin is desperate to keep the Ukraine out of NATO
Maybe it’s time to let the Ukraine to join NATO just to piss Putin off and see what he would do.
Look, Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine so what chance would they have against Europe?
Putin and Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine. Their whole campaign of war against the Ukraine has got bogged down and cost many hundreds of thousands of Russian lives. Their campaign of special operations has shown how weak and ineffectual the Russian fight machine is. So how could the Russians manage if at all against Europe. There is a vast border for Russia to defend and many of it’s borders now border NATO countries. Russia is severely weakened by it’s current involvement with the Ukraine. Maybe it’s time for NATO and Europe to start to amass troops along the Russian borders in an act of defiance and as a threat of invasion. Because Russia is so vast that in itself is a huge weakness especially since it is so engaged in Ukraine in a war or Special Operations in which it seems incapable of actually winning. An invasion of Russia to depose Putin could be enough of a threat to stop the war in Ukraine. Putin considers the West to be weak and now it’s time to teach him a lesson.
