  1. Most western leaders are still sleep walking through a situation which poses an existential threat to the west and to democracy and human rights and freedom. They seem more concerned about keeping taxes and deficits low than they do with giving Ukraine adequate support to achieve a definitive victory over Russia so that Europe can be safe again and other tyrants learn that naked aggression and imperialism to invade other countries and attempt to steal their territory will not be rewarded. If western voters don't understand why their taxes need to go up to fund more support for Ukraine and to build stronger militaries then it is the responsibility of western politicians to explain to their voters why this is so important. And as well western leaders must make clear to Putin that every time he escalates or does anything aggressive against western countries there will be a major western response such as providing Ukraine with more weapons. Eastern European leaders who know Russia best have made clear that the only thing that the Russian dictatorship understands is force. And western leaders must also make clear to Putin that the longer his invasion into Ukraine continues the more support western countries will give to Ukraine and they must also make clear to Putin that Russia is in a battle of economies with western countries - a battle that the Russian economy cannot win and a battle that will end when Russia leaves Ukraine or when the Russian economy collapses. In other words it must be made clear to Putin that this is a war that Russia cannot win.
