"There's only one person in the world, I think, who has leverage over Vladimir Putin - and that's Xi Jinping," Roach said.Ĭorrection: This story has been updated with the correct day that Ackman's tweet was posted.Does the Bible predict there will be a World War 3 (III, three) before the end times?

"China can elevate itself on the world stage by helping to resolve this crisis. "Putin respects and likely fears China," Ackman added.
Russia, in turn, can withdraw and the sanctions can be reversed." "In the settlement, the Ukrainians could agree that they will never join NATO. "The only optimistic way I can see out of this war is for China to step in and broker a real ceasefire and a settlement," he said. Ultimately, though, Ackman argued that the key to ending the crisis in Ukraine sat with China. If sanctions failed to have an impact on Putin's actions, Ackman added, NATO should reconsider enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Speculating that the conflict in Ukraine was "only going to get worse," Ackman said the only way to deter Russia from attacking more countries was for the West to use every economic sanction it had available, and give the Ukrainians every weapon they needed to defend itself. "By setting a hard line based only on NATO membership, doesn't this give Putin carte blanche to invade and subjugate Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Ireland, Austria, Malta, and Switzerland, and the rest of the former Soviet Union?"

Last week, Putin put Russia's nuclear deterrence forces on high alert, saying it was a defensive response to Western condemnation of his invasion of Ukraine, and warning that any country that tried to interfere in Ukraine would suffer consequences unseen before in history.īut Ackman said Saturday that Putin's aspirations had grown because "we did nothing to stop him" during Russia's previous invasion campaigns. "The nuclear threat is no different when he takes his next country, whether it is part of NATO or not, and by then we are strategically worse off." "What then do we do when wants more?" Ackman asked. 24.īut Ackman contended that NATO's reluctance to intervene due to the nuclear threat posed by Russia was a poor strategic move.
