Don\u2019t throw petrol on a burning fire seems like sensible advice. Don\u2019t poke the bear seems to be also good advice but one that Western \u2018leaders\u2019 seem determined to ignore. News <\/a>that France is to supply Ukraine with AMX-10 RC light tanks, while the UK plans to send Chieftains, is disturbing, while plans by the USA and Germany to send the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicle are even more so.<\/p>\n

At what point will Russia consider western states have openly declared war on them and respond accordingly?<\/p>\n
