As the West is caught in its own delusional moral hubris, chances to make peace between Russia and Ukraine are being missed again and again. The biggest obstacle at this point are the pervasive myths that the West is telling itself to justify pushing for war instead of contemplating real negotiations. Nicolai Petro is a Professor of Political science at the University of Rhode Island and has published the wonderful work “The Tragedy of Ukraine: What Classical Greek Tragedy Can Teach Us About Conflict”. He recently published a short essay entitled “Four Myths That are Preventing Peace in Ukraine”. We want to discuss that one and later also the changes in the military situation, which apparently is leading to a change in the western narrative about Russian capabilities.
