Another articulate and commanding article, Alexander.

Macron is demonstrating youthfulness in thought and leadership, which is sorely wanted in the rest of Europe and America.

Complacency towards Putin's dangers remains astonishingly high in Europe, particularly in faraway America, to a threat not experienced since WWII.

I wrote on the American to-do in "Setbacks on Ukraine Must Not Be Made into Defeat."

Many thanks. Best.
