This article was originally published at the Daily Kos. The war in Ukraine is quickly becoming a protracted war, with Russian military might consistently bogging down in the face of heroic resistance by the Ukrainian people. However, this war also represents the much wider reality of a geopolitical confrontation between the West and Russia. As such, it must be dealt with vigorously, by means of immediate measures to dramatically strengthen NATO capabilities in Eastern Europe, unflinching steps to counter Putin’s nuclear blackmail, unwavering support to the Ukrainians and, assertive diplomacy to instill some type of reality principle to the Kremlin. Yet, things must be done in such a way as won’t intractably antagonize Russia and the West, since such a scenario would easily give rise to a European war and, then, to a thermonuclear war.
