Fear of Vladimir Putin grows in EU capitals amid spectre of ‘total war’
And every time they talk about the need for Western escalation it's American escalation they call for.
They'll be only too f-ing happy to hold our coats.
They are really talking themselves into something crazy.
Carl Bildt, the former Swedish foreign minister, said a war between Russia and the west was now quite conceivable.
A senior diplomat in Brussels, echoing the broad EU view, said arming the Ukrainians would mean war with Russia, a war that Putin would win.
Why is Russian victory to be taken for granted?
If it is, then why are the Europeans risking it, at all?
Announcing the surprise mission to Kiev and Moscow, Hollande sounded grave and solemn.
The Ukraine crisis, he said, started with differences, which became a conflict, which became a war, and which now risked becoming “total war”.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Danish prime minister and until recently the head of Nato, publicly voiced fears that Putin could expand what is seen as Soviet revisionism to countries now in Nato and the EU.
In the Baltics, Putin might risk a little exercise in “hybrid warfare”, he said, just to test how the western alliance would react.
And the enthusiasm for sending arms to the Ukraine in the US congress is downright chilling.
Americans may yet die to keep Russia out the Crimea.
Russia! Out of the Crimea!
We should have left NATO when the American establishment of both parties chose to expand it.
Thank that relentlessly Russophobic Pole, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, and a generation of blockheads who revered him and still believe.
