On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void - Richard Branson [View all]
Only one word comes to mind when reviewing the events of this week: appeasement. And we all know what that means. I am reminded of the United Kingdom’s failure to stand up to Hitler’s land grabs in Central Europe in 1938 and 1939. Of course, he didn’t stop there. World War II started within months, bringing unimaginable suffering to Europe, the US and the World. At this juncture, it’s worth paying attention to the cautioning words of Eastern European and Baltic leaders who understand better than most what is at stake. Putin’s ambitions will not stop with Ukraine. His dark vision of regional hegemony includes a sphere of weakened states under Russia’s control. The breakdown in US leadership on Ukraine couldn’t have come at a worse moment in time.
