The Wall Street Journal: Змусити Путіна заплатити
Making Putin Pay
Vladimir Putin proved last weekend that Russia’s army can push over Georgia’s army. In the past 48 hours, the West has begun to push back. If its leaders stay the course, they may yet turn Mr. Putin’s meager military success into a significant political defeat.
In Washington yesterday, President Bush issued a statement of precisely the sort the world expects from American leadership in such circumstances. It made clear what he understands to be Mr. Putin’s goals and made equally clear the intention to resist those goals, and why doing so is in the world’s interests.
