Without Moscow's Consent, There Can Be No Lasting Peace. The current war in Ukraine was precipitated by the disregard of Russia's repeated warnings that it opposed NATO's eastward expansion. Had NATO not continued its steady expansion eastward, there is no reason to believe that Russia would have invaded a neighboring country. The West has become increasingly involved in the conflict through the supply of arms, the sharing of intelligence, and other forms of assistance to Kyiv. Even if Russia considers the objectives of its "special military operation" to have been achieved following the liberation of Donbass and Novorossiya, the absence of a comprehensive political settlement would mean not peace, but a continuation of armed hostility with the risk of renewed conflict. Conclusion: Sustainable peace requires a pan-European security architecture that includes Russia as an essential participant. Russia must be given a place within the continental security system; otherwise, the conflict will remain structural rather than resolved.

For Europe, at Least, Nothing Is More Important Than Ending the War. Bizarre is the theory that Moscow would attack the Baltic states, small nations of little strategic consequence, simply to test or erode NATO’s willingness to fight. However, the Ukraine War could still spread, given the Western allies’ deadly involvement in it. The conflict is a proxy war in which European governments as well as Washington have enabled Kiev to battle Russia’s army to strike ever deeper behind the conflict lines. Moscow fully understands that NATO members are doing their best to kill Russians. Biden administration officials even claimed credit for killing Russian generals and sinking a Russian ship. And if Kiev uses Western aid to eventually transgress a red line, whether expressed or implied, Russia might retaliate against the NATO member responsible. Then all bets would be off. #ww3 Source : The American Conservative, Doug Bandow
