IBD: The West’s weakness invites war
Russia planned for months, watching and learning from our response to Iran. The West told Iran to halt the enrichment of uranium and its nuclear weapons program. It hasn’t, and we’ve done nothing. Now, our lack of resolve has come back to haunt us. Knowing this, Russia executed its plan with brutal precision. Our weakness invited an attack — and will invite more if we don’t respond now. But the U.S. can do even more than just isolating Russia in diplomacy, or issuing pleas. We can also neutralize Putin’s use of the “oil weapon” — his implicit threat to cut off oil sales to the West — by drilling for more oil ourselves.
