Understanding Red Lines in International Relations
Putin has been setting red lines about Western military personnel in Ukraine, expecting a response that enforces these lines. However, the lack of significant Russian reaction to past crossing of red lines suggests that many of Putin's red lines are more about rhetoric than actual consequences. It is important for the West to maintain confidence and not allow Putin to dictate the parameters of discussion and action.
