@SocraticEthics good interview and he is right on pretty much all counts. Putin understands only one thing - power.
He is a schoolyard bully and any "deescalation" only encourages him to do worse. As Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine 2014 showed. US is finally realizing this. Western Europe (Scholz in particular) needs to learn this lesson too much as they don't want to.
