The West should give Putin an ultimatum
The
West is now trying not to go for additional escalation, and this is
absolutely the wrong logic. This is because Putin has now resorted to
a classic strategy, which I call the "Aleppo strategy."
Remember how the Russians deliberately created a humanitarian
catastrophe, killed tens (and some say hundreds) of thousands of
people? Now, the same general who did this in Syria is repeating it
in Ukraine.
