flew into Polish airspace for 39 seconds before returning into Ukrainian airspace. On Monday, Poland summoned the Russian ambassador to Warsaw, Sergey Andreev, to provide an explanation for the incident.That arrogant choice represents an extreme discourtesy that goes against the basic protocols of diplomatic interchange. Either by accident or by design, it was a serious affront for Moscow to allow one of its missiles to enter Polish airspace.
Sending such a signal would be dangerous. Russia is presently escalating its threats against the West in relation to the war in Ukraine and issues After all, Putin, his inner circle, and the Russian people all have a visceral cultural hatred for weakness. They see weakness as tantamount to self-emasculation, something at once astonishing and foul. At the same time, rooted in their varied history and mythology of heroic against-the-odds resistance of foreign invaders and of stoic endurance of hardship in the fields and winters, the Russians have a deep cultural affection for strength.
While one-sided compromises in Russian favor might earn Putin’s praise and a temporary cooling of tensions, they ultimately only fuel Russia’s appetite to demand more and threaten more. The example of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel underlines this basic truth. Merkel was frequently praised by Moscow but alsothe only American president he truly respected was George W.
