Ukraine and the West’s quest for a perfect solution
'In short, we have had an almost perfect storm. What should be the rational response? to find a perfect solution? Or to accept an imperfect solution that alleviates the sufferings of many people. including the people of Ukraine and the massive number of poor people in the world? The West has been pushing for a perfect solution. The rest of the world would prefer to see their sufferings decrease from an imperfect solution.' – Kishore Mahbubani for The Straits Times.
