He's also ignored soft power : persuasion sometimes beats threats. The USA was successful at this in the 20th Century. His invasion will not persuade Finland (for example) to stay neutral.

Then look at how that compares to how much they pay on education. How can that be taken any other way but power is the only thing they care about and when they need to defend the dollar we will see how serious they are about using it all. Those of us who follow military spending knew that when they increased the military budget after leaving Afghanistan knew they have their sites on bigger fish.

Even if it were accepted that Russia could take over the Donbas, whats Putins proposal for the rest of Ukraine - demilitarise and danazify? Where is there a genuinely demilitarised country in the world of any size beyond a very small island - Iceland? in NATO from 1949. Panama and Costa Rica - large non military security forces aka de facto militaries (tell me when you saw civil police with 80mm mortars). A puppet regime put in by Kremlin is going to be accepted in Lviv, Rivne and Lutsk? - be serious

@@JesterEric The Soviets took almost a decade to defeat the UPA in Western Ukraine. I think zero possibility that either will accept that territorial offer and what is Putin going to do, threaten to nuke them. Poland if you recall just offered its Mig 29s and though that was declined by US, it shows their attitude. Its Lviv btw to the inhabitants.

David Starkey is a very logical thinker. I admire that in him. PUTIN in my opinion does not Trust NATO, you only have to look at its historical deceitfulness. PUTIN might not consider backing down now or ever because of the Westerns own war games. TRUST HAS BEEN BROKEN AS FAR AS PUTIN SEES IT. TO BACK DOWN NOW WOULD BE SEEN AS A LOSS FOR HIS MOTHER LAND. (just my opinion)!

Starkey should stay as what he is- a very good historian and leave the value judgements on current actions alone. I agree that we need to stand up for actions but to start it off by saying we can do nothing because of a fear of nuclear war is nonsense. We should stand up with force to Russia. It’s all that history teaches us- Russians will not respond to anything but force and might in geopolitics. We actually need to call the bluff because that’s all it is, in one thing Starkey is right Putin is not mad- he is sane in a distorted mind set. Force is all he will understand. However, Starkey is so outside his expertise here that it is like getting my decorator to comment on the Cistene chapel!

He says Americans have abandoned the use of power. Really? When did that come to pass? Or does the use of power only consist in a potentially planet-wiping direct war with a country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world? The U.S. still believes in the use of power in all its forms. It is as much an empire as any out there, albeit one that might just have peaked. His predictions are quite bold for an analysis so reductive.
