Nogle mener, at Vesten skal opgive Ukraine. Men Rusland er langtfra uovervindeligt
Full story
The author argues against the idea that the West should abandon Ukraine. The text claims that calling for the abandonment of freedom under the guise of realism is actually defeatism. It suggests that Russian superiority is not a certainty and Ukrainian resistance is not an illusion.
Det er bekvemt at kalde sig realist, når man vil have andre til at opgive deres frihed. Man kan fremstå nøgtern, mens regningen sendes til dem, der forsvarer sig. Men når russisk overmagt tages for givet, og ukrainsk modstand affejes som en illusion, har vi et mere præcist ord: defaitisme.
