like the italian have who can go in and retake a building with nato and not just leave it to the latvian police force. this process is already under way. there are already leaders in eastern europe who are afraid, let s say, to assist ukraine with its urgent plea for assistance. putin might escalate. that s part of the russian tactic. he wants you to believe that if you try to resist it s futile to resist. he wants to frighten the west with the fear of escalation. we dealt with this adequately during the koerldcold war. we have a new generation of leaders, political leaders from across europe and in the united states who aren t familiar with the tactics. they don t understand it. it s not accompanied by the same component that it had during the cold war. this is not global marxism.
