My brother and I got into fights when we were kids. We were barely more than a year apart in age. This lead to a lot of conflict and competition.
He was stronger and bigger than I. When we fought, I would refuse to give up. But I would call “time out.” Just to catch my breath. Then I would go back into fighting mode.
This lead to me getting my ass kicked almost every time until puberty.
But, my calls for a time out would allow me to drag the fight out until my brother got bored with wrestling me and he moved on to something else.
I think Zelensky is trying to negotiate in order to catch his breath and allow more weapons to get to his troops.
I was trying to explain to my daughter the other day how this was going to end. I told her it was like a baseball game where Russia was “supposed” to win 10-0. They will win 10-6 or 10-8. But, Russia will win.
Agreed. There’s a startlingly lack of understanding of human psychology here by our “top men” in the west.
Or, more concerning, they understand the psychology all too well and this is intentional, like with the “science” of COVID and this is all more herd guidance...
