Vladimir Putin is courting disaster for Russia’s neighbour—and himself
to accept, as he well knew. A war that goes wrong could cost Mr Putin his grip on power—and all that goes with it. It would be a reckless gamble.
The West has no foolproof way to deter him from taking it. But it should try. America’s secretary of state is due to meet his Russian counterpart on January 21st. He should offer to continue talks on topics where agreement is possible, such as missile deployments and limits on military exercises. He should rally theto present a united front against Russian aggression. And he should search for a face-saving way for Mr Putin to back down . War can yet be avoided, but time is running out.
