.GlenPearson: The Dangers of Certainty in Uncertain Times | National Newswatch
The game is changing regarding the West’s approach to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a brief look under the hood reveals a more aggressive stand against Putin’s designs. The original delivery of “defensive” weaponry to Ukraine has now openly morphed into the transfer of “offensive” capabilities, especially against Russian air supremacy.
While the fear of Putin’s threat to use the nuclear option remains a cause of great concern, it no longer has the effect of paralyzing the Western response. This is partly due to the worry of what the Russian leader will take on next, should he succeed in Ukraine. This is key, since any attempt to extend his grip beyond just Ukraine will continue to have severe consequences for the rest of the world into the future.
We are witnessing a combined effort by a group of mostly NATO members to seal off not just Russia’s defeat of Ukraine but its future. In becoming a global pariah, Putin burned the bridges he required to restore his country’s former greatness. The statement by western officials last week that they will assist Ukraine to regain all the territory lost to this conflict “as a minimum” revealed that western leaders are looking to the future, not just the present.
