There is no peace with Putin at the negotiation table; he is already at war with the West, claims Glen Grant.

A just world does not exist!

The Munich Security Conference revealed several things. The most critical was that the word and concept of victory have vanished from the agenda. This is the most dangerous thing that could happen. There is no peace with Putin at the negotiating table. It cannot and will not happen. He is already at war with the West and is preparing for wider and greater destruction. The only way to achieve peace for Europe and possibly the world is to defeat Putin.

If he is not defeated, he will wait for the weak Western politicians and society to return to normal life — beer, McDonald's, skiing, and ice cream — and then, bam, he will come back stronger than ever.

Remember that this is the man who devastated his own country, leveling Grozny and killing tens of thousands of innocent Russians. He completely destroyed Mariupol, despite it being a city of Russian speakers. He has no mercy or conscience.

He lies and successfully makes a living from it. He is a fox among chickens. You can never trust him or his team. What we call hybrid warfare, and then try to ignore and pretend was an accident, will persist. Air disasters and murders will increase as Putin tries to make the population want to sue for peace.

Putin thinks our desire for peace signifies mindless cowardice. This is the elephant in the room. Our politicians are trying to resolve this war without doing anything that hurts them or their voters. This will not work, folks; this is exactly what Putin wants you to do.

I have a simple message for our senior leaders. If you lack the courage to pursue victory, step aside and let someone else in who does. You are dangerous to your country if you cannot grasp the essential fact that we are in a war where there is no peace without Victory.

We all must fight alongside Ukraine. This means fighting; it means being there on the ground, in the air, and at sea, not just offering pathetic words of support. We have all heard this; they only make Putin stronger. He knows you are weak. When European ministers meet today, they need to understand something. The U.S. lacks the guts for this fight, and under Trump, there were clear Russian inclinations and sympathies, and until you firmly grasp the nettle of Victory, we will find ourselves in the same mess as Ukraine, and soon.
