Russia and Ukraine

[pocaracas]

So I was listening to an audiobook and a curious passage came by...

Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Chapter 8

Code:

12

There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction; #

(2) cowardice, which leads to capture; #

(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; #

(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; #

(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble. #

13

These are the five besetting sins of a general, ruinous to the conduct of war.

Don't know about you guys, but I see Putin in 1, 3 and 4.

1 - Risking WW3
3 and 4 - well... Provoked by insults and conducting with no honour.

Shocked Russians turned out by the thousands Thursday to decry their country’s invasion of Ukraine as emotional calls for protests grew on social media. Some 1,745 people in 54 Russian cities were detained, at least 957 of them in Moscow.
