Putin turns 73 on October 7. He was 46 when he first became Prime Minister in August 1999. Since that time he has been either Prime Minister or President for more than 26 years, more than 1/3 of his life. In 2004, he said "one could go crazy" working as president for 7 years.

Deterrence is eroding. We’re fast moving into a world where the main question for Europeans is not how to prevent war with Russia but whether they want to fight it alone. It’s on Europeans to ensure that a sovereign Ukraine that can fight alongside them exists in that world.
