They’re asking the same question on Russian telly.

One pundit thinks they should either surrender or go for a full mobilization, another thinks it’s just going to take time (the first mockingly asks if his ten year old kids are going to get a shot), and a third seems to be thinking that the way to get Ukrainians Who Are All Nazis to surrender is by doing something so VERY BIG and VERY NASTY that the fight goes out of them - although he isn’t specific about what that might be, it’s probably not hearts and minds.
The question finally gets asked, did that Dale Carnegie book have a chapter on winning friends and influencing people that involved wholesale erasure of their national identity and language at gunpoint.
I would’ve simply said, “Have you ever read Aesop’s fable of the Sun and the Wind and if so, did you really not understand it? Hearts and minds, Comrade!”
“One pundit thinks they should either surrender or go for a full mobilization, another thinks it’s just going to take time (the first mockingly asks if his ten year old kids are going to get a shot).”
He’s lucky he’s in Russia. In Ukraine opposition parties are outlawed and the SBU would arrest and likely murder him for saying that on the air.
