Not that the russian mentality is a complex one but evidently up until now the west tried to stop the russian with diplomacy.
I think the problem is that we refer to the "west" like it's a monolith. Poles and eastern europe understand the russian mentality and more importently the danger but I dont think it translates as well as you say to the rest of the west. Or worse, they were willing to close thier eyes to it for other gains.
Your PM himself called out the west several times.

With the last part I agree.

And my other point was that there is no rocket science in understanding russian ancient-mongolic ways of life.
