John Wright, this is nonsense. Passionate, but you have the wrong end of the stick.

America and the West are guilty of complacency toward Putin's continued aggression and interference in neighboring countries.

Putin moved into Ukraine, not because of any NATO threat but because he failed to subjugate it. Putin progressed from threats to beatings to wanting Ukraine destroyed.

Pure mobster stuff.

Arguably, America and the West have gone about this the wrong way. But not how you are declaring.

I invite you and your readers to a very different take on the Ukrainian war in "Time for America and NATO to Act?"

Best.
