Tom Cooper: Running after Pack, Part 1
2022-06-07
Another teaser from a great analyst. Read these entry paragraphs then jump to his full analysis by clicking the title name.
[Medium] It’s been 100 days since the onset of Putin’s (re-)invasion of Ukraine, on 24 February this year. Therefore, almost everybody is publishing reviews, summaries, or discussing ‘lessons learned’ about this war. Usually, I am opposing the ‘run after pack’-behaviour and going my own way. However, the last two days so much nonsense has been published around the world, and I’ve been asked so many related questions that this time I’m going to make an exception and offer my commentary, too — and that solely for one reason: to me it appears that too many people out there simply do not understand each other. Therefore, here’s the way I see things — in a much compressed way.

Mind: from my point of view, principal problem in this war is that — no matter what happens — everybody remains insistent on his/her own point of view, to the level where standpoints are turning into little else but sarcastically absurd dogmas. Furthermore, please mind my usual sarcasm, and feel ‘warned, up front’, that — as much as critical of it — I’m an outspoken ‘EU-fan’, and thus the following is likely to appear ‘EU-centric’ to many. Related recommendation: if you don’t like that, stop reading, right here. Thanks a lot.

From West to the East, the situation appears to look like this:
