[Jan_Sobieski]

Wisdom cries out in the streets…but who listens?

Luke 14:31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

[Cronos]

That describes your hero Putin going off to attack Ukraine.

He lost in March and is just dragging the killing on.

[Petrosius]

The Ukrainians’ calculation of their chances of success are obviously different than your own. So far they have been doing much better than anyone, especially the Russians had expected. Despite its size, Russian victory is not guaranteed. History is full of examples of smaller nations winning against much larger adversaries.

Again, though, I must ask why this constant criticism of the Ukrainians defending themselves and none against the Russians attacking in the first place?
