When silly IR theoretical constructs of "escalation management" from the 1960s end up making Ukrainians lose to Russia.

By now the damage from Western dithering you fear is unfortunately inevitable.
Both transatlantic (and just as much intra-European) relations will be toxic. Not openly hostile, but seething, resentful.
Trust in a common vision defending the liberal democracy has collapsed.

Depressing outcome of a policy of not allowing Ukraine to attack Russian territory.
If the US and Germany so want to make nice with Russia, why not just come out and say they don't mind Ukraine losing?

What Russians do to POWs is not only utterly disgusting, it excludes them from civilization.
Not that we should reciprocate, just exclude them from our lives.
I couldn't care less about this "culture". I just don't want them anywhere me or the West.

Translation:
Eurovision is what it is, but seeing your former anthropology lecturer Marko Veisson dancing like that on the Eurovision stage makes you feel that everything is possible in life.

A tasteful example of how a proper Christian upbringing turn someone into an example for our kids, indeed for all of us, in these times of boorish amorality.

Putin Should Be More Afraid of Us Than We Are of Him

More broadly, the West needs to be less afraid of Putin's bluster than Jake Sullivan and Olaf Scholz.

It's not just Gaza.
The self-deterence model of how not to deal with Russia aggression has not helped the administration.
The MAGAs sensed this and went all in with their pro-Putin line.

Teised allikad aga nendivad, et nn memoriaal tähistab "Jääretke", mil vene enamlaste laevastik taganes Tallinnast.
Igal juhul pole see mingi 2. ilmasõja "monument". Punane küll.

This is from the "think tank" of the Die Linke, who support Putin's genocidal war against Ukraine.

Millegipärast artikkel ei suuda välja tuua mida see nn memoriaal tähistab. Arvad, et mingi 2. ilmasõja lähingus langenuid?
Oh ei, hoopis: "Siin puhkavad 3. – 5. II 1919. aastal Naissaarel miiniristlejate Spartak ja Avtroil 36 mahalastud meremehe põrmud".
