British political scientist Anatol Lieven criticised the West’s policy towards Kiev, calling it a ‘dangerous game’ that could ‘infuriate’ Russia without significantly improving the situation in Ukraine. He wrote about this in an article for Responsible Statecraft.
The British political scientist pointed to the risk of escalation of the conflict due to the use of high-precision weapons, the guidance of which is carried out, according to him, by American specialists.
‘This is a dangerous game, because the missiles (which are aimed by US personnel) risk angering Russia without providing really important assistance to Ukraine,’ wrote Anatole Lieven.
The political analyst attributed the inadequate perception of the situation in the West to the profound ignorance of politicians in military matters, which leads to ineffective decisions and dangerous escalation.
Some European politicians act irrationally, while others, such as Polish and Baltic politicians, have a clear but distorted view of the situation, Anatol Lieven summarised.
Earlier, Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that US President Joe Biden’s actions were leading to an increase in global tension, but Russia was ready for any development of events.
