Gen. Philip BreedloveGen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the piece, 'Former NATO Commander: ‘Is the West Going to Tolerate Russia Doing This to Ukraine?’', posted February 27, 2022 on ForeignPolicy.com.
An excerpt:
I don’t want to say I’m alarmed because as I said, I expected this. His forces have disappointed him. His advisors and commanders, I think, promised him a quick win. And the Ukrainians are fighting very hard, and they didn’t get the quick win. And now, Putin sees things that he didn’t want to have happened. NATO’s becoming more coalesced and stronger in the last 24 hours. Strong statements out of Germany and out of France and other things. All the things he didn’t want to have happened are now happening because of this absolutely ludicrous story of what he’s doing in Ukraine.
