I can’t help but think of Biden and NATO’s contribution to what is unfolding in Ukraine. From the beginning Biden told Putin repeatedly that we would not send soldiers to protect Ukraine. NATO repeatedly spoke of defending only NATO countries if they - and only they - were attacked. It was obvious that America and the rest of NATO deemed the full destruction of Ukraine acceptable to appease Putin given his threat of using nuclear weapons.
You can tell this finally dawned on President Zelenskyy after America refused to allow Poland to give their fighter aircraft to Ukraine. If you watch his speeches and pleas for help you can see the realization in his face and hear it in his words.
What if every NATO nation had done the right thing and sent troops and supplies to every country that borders Russia right after Putin began amassing the same on Russia’s border with Ukraine? What if the UN had kicked Russia out of the Security Council within 24 hours of the invasion? What if NATO had plainly said “No” instead of “Hey, Ukraine’s not in NATO, help yourself”?
As a PS to my comment - there is an interview with a former NATO supreme allied commander, Phillip Breedlove, who speaks to what I wrote above. The interview is titled “Former NATO Commandeer Says Western Fears of Nuclear War Are Preventing A Proper Response To Putin”, dated April 7, 2022, written by Vazha Tavberidze and on RadioFreeEurope RadioLiberty at https://www.rferl.org/a/breedlove-nuclear-fears-west-deterred/31791020.html.
He even brings up a point/worry I made some time back on Dan Rather’s Substack Steady - that Iran, North Korea and China are definitely taking note of America & NATO’s acquiescence to Putin destroying Ukraine due to his threat of using nukes and will employ the same when it befits their purpose in the future.
I heard Chris speak at the Hutchinson Event Center on Saturday. He wrote “Uf you lived her, you ‘d be home by now”. Very talented and funny. The Why Axis id his latest business business venture since leaving his post ad a reporter for The Washington Post. He currently lives in Minnesota. He is worth following.
