“But the NATO ministers, at a rare emergency meeting, failed to agree on any
specific punitive measures, despite pressure from the United States that NATO at
least threaten Russia with unspecified “consequences,” and pleas from the Czech
Republic, Poland and NATO’s Baltic members that it take a tough stand.”
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
“despite pressure from the United States that NATO at
least threaten Russia with unspecified “consequences,”
What would a totally empty threat accomplish other than escalate an already angry dog?
NATO as a whole, is a neutered puppy. So to antagonize things and make the room more problematic does nothing.
