No Matchup Between Putin’s Words and Actions
Putin said that Russia would never again fight a war on its own territory, but Russian territory is the place the Ukraine war has been fought for the last 18 months.
Why does Moscow call a Ukrainian military attack on Russian territory a “terrorist attack”? Is it Moscow’s pretense that no war is being fought on Russian territory?
The result of these evasions is the continuing loss of Putin’s credibility in the West.
Think about what it means that Putin’s credibility is so low that the West believed that Russia could be defeated by Ukraine. Who is responsible for this dangerous delusion if not Putin himself?
