Western allies are no longer imposing any restrictions on the use of long-range weapons delivered to Ukraine for Kyiv against Russian military targets, the German chancellor said on Monday.
The risk of nuclear war really does exist. It’s easy to be an armchair general and call Russia’s bluff. I’m glad NATO’s leaders think with more nuance.
I do not deny the risk of nuclear war but that risk alone is not enough to justify complacency to tyrants. It’s easy to say NATO is making the right call when one is safely behind a computer screen and the front lines. The problem is NATO actively avoiding direct involvement will see those safeties you take for granted disappear sooner or later.
