Cracks Appear in Western Front Against Russia's War in Ukraine

Allies are increasingly divided on further heavy-weapons shipments to Kyiv

Cracks are appearing in the Western front against Moscow, with America’s European allies increasingly split over whether to keep shipping more powerful weapons to Ukraine, which some of them fear could prolong the conflict and increase its economic fallout.

 

At the center of the disagreement—which is splitting a group of Western European powers from the U.S., U.K. and a group of mostly central and northern European nations—are diverging perceptions of the long-term threat posed by Russia and whether Ukraine can actually prevail on the battlefield.

 

The first bloc, led by France and Germany, is growing reluctant to provide Ukraine the kinds of offensive, long-range weapons it would need to reclaim ground lost to Russia’s armies in the country’s south and east. They doubt Russia would directly threaten the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

 

On the other side, Washington, London and a group of mainly central and northern European nations, some of them former Soviet bloc members, see the Russian offensive as a harbinger of further expansion by Moscow, making Ukraine the front line in a broader war pitching Russia against the West.

It gets very cold in Budapest and Prague in winter.  That Russian gas will be very welcome in December....

Nobody knows about the next steps of Putin.

Up to now Nato is reacting but not acting in first place.

So reluctance in sending modern  tanks might be not too bad to avoid Nato involved in that war. ????

I wouldn't put too much credence on what the Wall Street Journal say. However like all media, they sensationalise to attract readers and readers will believe what ever they wish to believe.

Serbia and Hungary are the only countries in continental Europe where leaders try to be independent and responsible for their nations’ future. The rest of that land mass was hijacked and is on a suicidal path right now, with puppets at the wheel.
