SIR – We are asking ourselves what we in the West would do if Mr Putin uses chemical weapons. And so we should.
So far, too many red lines have left no room for ambiguity, allowing him to play the West at his murderous game.
It’s time now to sow doubt in his mind. The deployment of four, new Nato battlegroups to Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia is exactly what is needed.
No one wants a major war with Russia, but we must be ready for one if the circumstances dictate.
