So far, even 20,000 dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine hasn\u0027t been enough to stop him.

The good news is that finally, maybe, the European Union and the G7 countries appear to be listening to what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been saying all along: Close the skies. And no, that does not mean a no-fly zone, enforced by NATO. It means more Javelin missiles, more Stingers, and more advanced air defence systems to augment Ukraine’s own S-300 batteries.to deliver two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems before Christmas.
And again, Putin leaned into veiled threats to deploy nuclear weapons. And again, the NATO capitals were all in a flutter about it, with the same old appeals against “provocation” and “escalation” and boring entreaties to imagine the horrors of nuclear war.
