European warnings about the Russian threat point to two real worries: an accident that kills scores or a miscalculation that triggers a war. Both can be avoided by sending Putin a clear message: “We see what you are doing. Don’t. We will respond.” open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...

The Diplomatic Cable 005: Is the Russian Threat to Europe Real?

Avoiding an accidental strike or miscalculation by Putin, Europe needs to unite behind a clear message: We see what you are doing. We will respond. Don’t risk a war you won’t want and can’t win.

Putin’s Shadow War Is Testing NATO’s Restraint

Russian President Vladimir Putin, frustrated by his bogged-down war in Ukraine, is trying to intimidate the European nations that — given President Donald Trump’s severe cuts in aid to Kyiv — are now ...
