Expand True enough that the West has to avoid overing playing its hand here. In fact Putin's overplay has made it relatively easy for the West to get a deal without actually giving up very much - but they aren't going to get it without giving up anything. Taking NATO membership off the table gives the West a virtual 100% return to the status quo ante. Putin would have spent a lot of energy for no real change on the ground. That looks like pretty close to the good guys winning to me. Quote
