Ukraine's surprise offensive into Kursk has not only caught Russia off guard but also shocked its allies, exposing the contrast between Ukrainian boldness and the West's timidity.
I believe that we in the west have forgotten what it feels like to be in a war of national survival. In the UK our grandfathers generation knew this all about this, and of course many others in Europe suffered greatly due to the Second World War being fought on their lands.
But we have forgotten.
Strategic timidity is an apt but accurate term for this.
Nice article. I hope it is read by our governments.
