This time I would like tentatively to share the contents of the article of Mr. James Jay Carafano, Vice President at Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute; also a leading expert in national security and foreign policy challenges.
His theme is “Enabled by Biden, Putin Now Loses Even With His Best-Case Outcome”.
The most likely outcome, sadly, is that the Russian will direct his troops to fight until he grounds Ukraine into dust.
It’s always chancy to unleash the dogs of war:
You never know who they’re going to bite.
With Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine, all we know for sure is that, regardless of the outcome, the result won’t exactly be rosy for the Russian president.
It does seem clear what Mr. Putin thought would happen.
For some reason, his Kremlin crowd decided now was the time to swallow Ukraine whole, once and for all.
Why?
Perhaps it’s because they saw weakness in President Biden, as well as in a tentative cluster of European countries on the other side of Ukraine.
He obviously gambled that they’d be unwilling to do much for Ukraine.
