We need a united front against Russian expansion - General Dannat

First, who is Richard Dannat? 72-year-old British general, former Chief of the British General Staff from 2006 to 2009. In 1999 he commanded British troops in Kosovo.

Since 2003, he headed the Joint Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), planned operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was also David Cameron's defense advisor.

Like many, General Dannat analyzes the blunders of the West and predicts what the post-war world will be like:

• The White House and Europe seriously underestimated the Kremlin. The aggression in Syria, the annexation of Crimea, the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan convinced Putin that the West would not be able to stop the war against Ukraine.

That is why Putin gave the “fatally erroneous” order to invade.

• Russia's new offensive will fail: "Motivated and well-trained Ukrainians will break Russian morale."
/5

• After the war, it will be necessary to decide on a policy towards the Kremlin. Uncomfortable questions – “Will the West be able to trust Moscow again? Can sanctions be lifted? How can Eu guarantee that it will never again fall into energy dependence on the Russ Federation?
/6

• It is necessary to jointly and firmly restrain any expansionist aspirations of the Russian Federation.

• When Sweden and Finland join NATO, a deterrence force should be deployed along the entire border with Russia.
/7

More and more experts in the West are realizing that there is no other choice but to guarantee security by significantly increasing defense spending.
