On
Russia and the West, there are a number of questions on the table. Do we really
understand what the key Russian motivations are? Do they matter, as far as the
Western interests are concerned? Why? If the answer is yes, what are then the
West´s political response options that are realistically available? Which one
is the preferred one? What are the chances of success? And what are the risks?
Who are our allies?
These
are the key questions we must keep in mind and respond to. Action taken that is
not based on clear answers to these interrogations should be called
improvisation.
And
this is no time for skin reactions. What is at stake is important. If the West
is caught unprepared and without a clear strategy, then we are in for more, in
the foreseeable future.
