Berlin would have to prepare for Putin winning in Ukraine and Trump becoming president. But in this country we rely on the principle of hope.
WOver the past two years, when he asked about the West’s strategy for forcing the Kremlin to withdraw from Ukraine, he was often presented with the frog in the pot: Putin should be softened, but only slowly, in order to prevent the war from escalating. If you stay with this picture, you can see that the toad in the Kremlin is as alive and aggressive as it was at the beginning of the attack. In the meantime, one has to ask oneself whether Putin is not the cook and the “collective West” the frog.
In any case, symptoms of war fatigue are more likely to be detected among Ukrainian supporters than in Russia, which is mobilizing all its forces at Putin’s behest to win this war. The switch to a war economy and the Great Russian conquest propaganda suggest that Putin is even preparing for the next military campaign.
