Putin's policy towards Ukraine: everything according to Sun Tzu?

267
I don’t know if the book by Vladimir Vladimirovich, the most famous commander and theorist Sun Tzu "The Art of War" was a desk book. However, considering everything that has been happening in Ukraine for almost three years, I get into the idea that I was.



And some processes that occur around and near the object confirm this. I can not boast that at once I caught the word "Chan" and understood the point. The puzzle didn’t take shape for quite a while, but it was formed with the help of a colleague Yuri from Sumy, aka Yurasumy, for which many thanks to him.

So, what did I see in the ancient Chinese treatise that made me think about Ukraine and that Putin was studying this book? Just leave quotes to start.

"Sun Tzu said: according to the rules of warfare, the best is to keep the enemy state intact, in second place - to crush this state.

The best is to keep the enemy army safe, in second place - to break it ...

Therefore, to fight a hundred times and win a hundred times is not the best of the best; the best of the best is to conquer a foreign army without fighting.

Therefore, the best war - to break the plans of the enemy; in the next place - break his alliances; in the next place - smash his troops.

Therefore, he who knows how to wage a war conquers a foreign army without fighting; takes foreign fortresses without besieging; crushes a foreign state, not holding his army for a long time. He always keeps everything intact, and this disputes the power in the Middle Kingdom. Therefore, you can not dulling weapon to benefit: this is the rule of strategic attack. "


I hope it is clear what this is all about. A hundred times it has been said that the war is on, but Russia never came to it. But the topic that I decided to touch on is not related to the strategy as such, but to one of the particulars.

How to save a state that seems to be at war with you, or crush, without resorting to military actions?

If correctly interpreted / comprehended, then, in general, Mr. Sun Tzu, referring to the preservation of the enemy’s state, had in mind the following: to maintain integrity does not mean not to conquer. It means not to tear it to shreds tank wedges and other pleasures of today.

So what are we talking about? We are talking about some gestures that can provide something like a night opening gates. The thing in ancient times is despicable, but effective. And, by the way, saved a lot of lives. Winners, of course.

Immediately emphasize that this is not about the conquest of Ukraine. Rather, about some kind of work on sticking to a more or less digestible for Russia. Say, and why did you take it, dear? But from what. The evidence so far is two and a half, but it may be more if you dig deeper.

But before proceeding with the evidence, a few more quotes from the ancient Chinese. And they relate, strange as it may seem, to spies. Generally, Sun Tzu is considered to be the father of all special services for a reason.

“Knowledge in advance cannot be obtained from gods and demons, it cannot be obtained by concluding by similarity, it cannot be obtained by any calculations. Knowledge of the position of the enemy can only be obtained from people.

Therefore, the use of spies is of five kinds: there are local spies, there are internal spies, there are reverse spies, there are spies of death, there are spies of life.

All five categories of spies work, and you can not know their ways. This is called an incomprehensible mystery. They are a treasure for the sovereign.

Local spies are recruited from the local people of the enemy’s country and used by them;
internal spies are recruited from his officials and used by them;
Reverse spies are recruited from enemy spies and used by them.
When I use something deceitful, I let my spies know about it, and they pass it on to the enemy. Such spies will be spies of death. The spies of life are those who return with a report.

Therefore, for the army, there is nothing closer than spies; no big rewards than spies; There are no more secret cases than spyware. Without perfect knowledge, you cannot use spies; not possessing humanity and justice, you will not be able to use spies; not possessing subtlety and insight, you can not get a real result from the spies. Subtlety! Subtlety! There is nothing that spies cannot use. "


Today, the word "spy" sounds somewhat impartial, but the essence has not changed. I hope that what you said to Sun Tzu, you read and understood, and therefore turn to the evidence.

So, the first proof. Crimea.

Yes, it is the Crimea. And I will begin again with the Battle Rules so often mentioned by us. It is more modern than the "Art of War" and more understandable. As part of the formulation of the problem, understanding it and others. The smartest book, I'll tell you.

So, according to the “Art of War”, if we are faced with the task of not capturing Ukraine, but quietly “squeezing” it, then everything looks quite logical. Especially taking into account the fact that today in the territory of Ukraine they will not really work in the information field. It’s not worth talking too much about the pretty crap brains of one part of the population and frank refusing the other, we all know perfectly well.

The military option is really unacceptable here. Because quite the same 1946 year can turn out, and so on.

But there is one feature of Ukraine, which gives a definite clue.

These are Ukrainian oligarchs and elites close to them. Moreover, in the Crimea, these elites and oligarchs were no less in percentage terms than in the rest of Ukraine. And this site has recently been Ukraine. With all that it implies.

You can say a lot about the fact that Crimeans are all like one Russians, and so on. But every day more and more convinced in the opposite. On this topic, you can talk for a long time, but nonetheless. The fact that Crimeans are habits, reflexes, the psychology of everyday life are very, very similar to the population of Ukraine.

By the way, this is not a minus, fortunately, but a plus.

Many people, including me, are very, very surprised by the fact that in Crimea at the administrative places there are still mostly local personnel. Moreover, there are reports that "returnees" are felled by the specialists, who are immediately employed. And this today in the Crimea annoying many.

I also draw attention to the complete absence of administrative terror in Crimea, and this despite the fact that, although they do not steal in the same way as in Russia, they also cause the planting season to be above the roof.

But once again, "they pointed out the shortcomings," "they instructed to finalize," "they urged to draw conclusions," and that was all ... And the administrative system actually remained the same as it was three years ago. Well, the flags have changed and membership cards. Rave? But no. This has its own logic and meaning. According to Sun Tzu.

Crimean elite is part of the Ukrainian elite. Former Ukrainian, future Russian, not so important. The dollar, he, if anything, is international. And his power also does not have this feature. And, in fact, all these gentlemen are smeared with one world. Ukrainian.

But today, those who are in / in Ukraine are definitely closely watching what Moscow will do with their Crimean counterparts. Of course, a certain temptation in the plan to imprison or disperse them all exists. And perhaps, planting on their places, it would be possible to achieve greater effect.

But this scenario, you know, is not particularly acceptable for the Ukrainian elites. For, oddly enough, but they also want to live. And live well.

In the meantime, we have repeatedly had the opportunity to make sure that the opinion of the oligarchs and their confidants sometimes means more than all of the Wishlist of the Kiev junta, coupled with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, VRU and other government agencies. There is enough evidence of this, starting from Mariupol and ending with Odessa.

And it is the local elites that often mean the formation of the information field on the ground more than the central structures. And it was they who were the first to enter into a conflict of interest with pro-American gentlemen from the team sitting in Kiev.

And it is for them today that there is a signal from the Crimea that "it could be worse." And it could be better. And this signal comes from their own colleagues, who were not kicked at the FSB, who were not taken away from anything. NOTHING! Moreover, they even made it possible to work for the good of the new Motherland.


Well, what are not internal spies, tell me?

That’s probably why all the antics of the Crimean authorities, the frank inability to work and other pleasures are tolerated in Moscow. They are tolerated, apparently, in the name of precisely those interests that I have indicated.

Moving on.

Next we have ... Savchenko.

Strange as it may seem, but Nadia fits perfectly into the Chinese espionage strategy. stories. Of course, not as an internal or local spy, but as the reverse.

Proof of? You are welcome. Consider the whole picture.

Nadezhda Savchenko, a hitherto unknown officer of the Ukrainian Air Force, was captured in the summer of 2014, was accused of killing two Russian journalists and after a long trial in the Russian Federation was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

During the investigation and trial, Savchenko made just a dizzying career: she became a deputy of the Rada, the PACE and a kind of symbol of modern Ukraine. The first status was helped by Yulia Tymoshenko, the second by the Rada deputies, and the symbol was made by Ukrainian journalists and ordinary people. And if the journalists clearly received an appropriate order, then the townsfolk, already processed in the right direction, amicably rode “For Nadia”. It is quite normal and familiar.

Live icon martyr zafigachili. The status of a deputy twice and the information campaign launched to defend her, of course, strained Russia a little, but the court confidently went to its final. And by the way, everything suited everyone. Especially Ukraine, whose authorities occasionally squealed, waving a portrait of Savchenko and invoking all the sacraments of heaven on Putin’s head.

Well, there it is accepted. Or a torn flag, or a riddled sheet of iron, or a portrait of Savchenko. All the script.

And everything went on as usual, because everyone in Ukraine was firmly convinced that Putin was watching “The venue cannot be changed” or read Weiner. And Savchenko "... will sit! I said! ..."

But that still happened unexpectedly. Back in 2015, the countries of the “Norman Four” decided that Nadezhda Savchenko should be returned to Ukraine! And here Putin made a seemingly incomprehensible move. All these words about humanism and so on, all regarded who as. Who is like a weakness, someone like, sorry, incomprehensible sly ...

And the prospect of something Poroshenko collapsed in his eyes. It is clear that Savchenko needed them either alive, but in prison in Russia, or dead, but there too. And definitely, the variant of the tortured Savchenko would suit everyone, from a woman with a scythe to a man with a glass. The main thing is Savchenko in Russia (in any condition).

Savchenko has no weak points in the informational plan. Quite a flawless biography, a high degree of fraud. She did not take bribes (not because she was honest, but simply there was no place to take them), she was obsessed with her own ideas, which, in principle, are completely nothing for today's Ukraine. At trial, the mind did not shine, rather the opposite. Replaced the mind of political slogans. In short, a very convenient character to create an icon.

The modern heroine of Ukraine, and, preferably, posthumously.

Accordingly, the team was given to the promotion and glorification of Savchenko in the media. We responded with a wave of discontent, the supporters of which declared that in no case could Savchenko be changed and that it was a shame, a drain, and stuff like that. On our site, 8 from 10 readers spoke this way, remember? I remember.

But in Kiev, worried. Live Savchenko, and even at large, forgive them, they didn’t dig there at all. Even began to delay the trial of those Russians who were to be exchanged for Savchenko.

But then the Europeans intervened. And ominously roared at Poroshenko, they say, sing, you either take off the cross, or put on panties. Who yelled "Freedom Savchenko!"?

Further, we observed a solemn procession barefoot along the path at the airport, inadequate cries of Savchenko, and nothing foreshadowed trouble. Everything was as we expected.

And then the unexpected began again. Both for Russians, and for Ukrainians.

Where did the hysterical psychopath go? Where are the rather outrageous behavior and cries of "Glory to Ukraine!"?

No, shouts, note for the sake of justice, are still present. But not in such quantity. And T-shirts with a fork left. But everyone suddenly realized that Nadia was not exactly what was expected of her. That she is absolutely not going to go with a machine gun to the front and there to take revenge on Putin for everything.

It turned out that Savchenko has not only well-established views, but also a clear program of action. Where she developed it, the question is, of course, interesting. But Savchenko began to say what they wanted to hear in Ukraine. And not representatives of the authorities. Nadia began to broadcast terrible things: peace with Russia, status for Donbass, amnesty for political prisoners, Minsk should be implemented. And in general, the war must end and seek a consensus in Ukrainian society.

Zrada? Seem to be...

This would not have been forgiven to anyone else, and most likely they would quickly be sent to meet with Buzina. But Savchenko at this moment in Ukraine could say if not all, then almost everything. With impunity. For the heroine and all that. The only thing that could be done on the Poroshenko’s place is to shove Nadia somewhere in the PACE, so that she defended the rights of the citizens of Ukraine and did not loom in Ukraine itself. But it turned out that late.

Savchenko has become the most popular politician in Ukraine, with a huge margin from opponents. Of course, this is the same Nadia, for whose freedom the Ukrainians stood at rallies and signed petitions. And now this Nadia says that these Ukrainians want, in fact, from the authorities: peace, work, income, peace of mind. Reasonably, by the way.

And who was the second, or second, after Savchenko? It is clear that Ms. Tymoshenko! Yulia Vladimirovna, a two-year-old snake sat in ambush these two years, made a bet on Savchenko and ... won! But how! The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc rating overtook everyone in Ukraine except the Opposition Bloc. And then, I think, for now. Oh, how to wind the former regionals, Tymoshenko knows. And Savchenko will teach.

If you step back from the personalities and look at the essence of what was said, as well as scroll through all the statements of Nadezhda Savchenko for the last month, then you unwittingly smile. After all, this is the same thing that Putin has been saying for the last one and a half or two years.

I don’t know how to achieve this result, but it’s already obvious that Savchenko is not just the most powerful weapon against President Poroshenko. She is a mine planted under the political train of Ukraine, which hit the road in 2014.

But the most terrible thing for the train passengers is that the mine turned out to be the person whom these passengers so hard have been spinning all this time. Hero, symbol, icon. Funny.

Here's how once again not to bring the words of a wise Chinese, who died even 500 years before the birth of Christ?

"Only enlightened sovereigns and wise commanders know how to make high-mind people their spies, and in this way they certainly accomplish great things. The use of spies is the most essential thing in war; it is the support that the army relies on."

The great thing after all is the book "The Art of War", written two and a half thousand years ago. Especially if applied correctly. Apparently, we have people who can.

Although, to be honest, I prefer "Science to win". But if in the end we will have the option that suits Russia, that is, us, in terms of bringing Ukraine into a divine form, then what difference does it make, what methods will be used for this?

          You know, I personally often come across managers, businessmen, etc., and have taken root in the opinion that the farther, the fewer leaders, not only professionals in their field, but who generally have elementary logic. Here is a typical task: There is a resource with a dynamic price. Intermediary A selling this resource takes a bonus of 8 rubles. Intermediary B is ready to sell the same resource and work for a premium of 7 rubles. Source G is ready to work for 0.1% of the cost of the resource - in the prices of the previous year, the premium would be 6 rubles. Question: Is there enough information to determine which intermediary is more profitable to work with? Which intermediary is the least profitable to work with?
          Here is the answer, and I will write later which option most often chooses a business.

        There is an assumption based on the fact that you cannot be everywhere the same professional of the highest level. With foreign policy, Putin is surprisingly not bad at all. But in the economy and other social programs - it is zero. He’s a scout, KGB officer.

              No, not weak, it is not a matter of strength, but of opportunities. He leads the oligarchic clans and promotes their interests within the country and beyond, just outside its interests the interests of our oligarchs and people coincide in many respects. So far, the oligarchy is also taking advantage of the increase in the patriotism of the people. For them, he does everything right, and even enjoys the support of the people. The oligarchs will keep Putin until he suits them and crawls to where the taboo is, although sometimes it seems that he is already on the verge.

Putin has enough competent economic advisers, and he himself understands who is literate and who is not, but they will not give him and will never allow them to be put into power, since then all the oxygen will be shut off to the oligarchy. They are oligarchs as long as they are in power such as a bear, ululyukaev, kudrin or gref (what the hell is the difference), siluans, dvorkovich and naubilina.

        Unfortunately, problems with education and health care did not "exist", but are. And, rather, Putin is surrounded by such ministers, and not he himself surrounds them.

    Here is a part of the article about the finds on Mars from the "Science-KP" section
    "NASA, which is usually silent about the" finds "on Mars, which are now abundant on the Internet, recently commented on them at once. The speaker was Ashvin Vasadava, one of the leading staff working with Curiosity. He said he would be glad to see there are some artifacts on Mars. But they are not there. Alas, there is nothing anomalous, man-made or alive. And all the finds of virtual archaeologists, zoologists or paleontologists are a manifestation of pareidolia - the ability of some people to form illusory images from the details of real relief. As a result, they see what I would like to see, "infecting" others with my illusions.

    Pareidolia, on the other hand, is a kind of apophenia - the ability to see certain ordered structures, to notice non-existent relationships in random and meaningless data.

    Until recently, pareidolia and apophenia were considered mental disorders. And the virtual explorers of Mars and the Moon are crazy. But now physiologists believe that illusory images can occur in normal people. Moreover, as it has now become clear, the human brain is generally prone to pareidolia. Indeed, thanks to her, he recognizes familiar faces and objects in separate details, without having a complete image. "

    You can say a lot about the fact that Crimeans are all like one Russians, and so on. But every day more and more convinced in the opposite. On this topic, you can talk for a long time, but nonetheless. The fact that Crimeans are habits, reflexes, the psychology of everyday life are very, very similar to the population of Ukraine.
    Lord, what nonsense. When I came to Sevastopol after a long break, it felt like I was in Peter. What are Ukrainians? There are more Russian people than in many regions of Russia itself. Even in the Kuban and Rostov, the South Russian accent in dialect is heard more strongly than in Sevastopol. Of course Crimea, it is not only Sevastopol. But I do not see any pronounced differences from the Russian Federation, how many kilometers I did not wind around in the Crimea. Yes, this is the south, everything is a bit poorer, without scope - yes. Even the Tatar part of the inhabitants, which I may not know well enough, at first glance does not strongly contrast with our Tatarstan.

      The history of China was written by the Jesuits in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. All the great inventions and constructions attributed to them were made not by the Chinese, but by the Russians. In order to make us Ivanes, relatives not remembering. And we, indeed, from time immemorial crammed them. But the great Chinese wise rulers ordered the loopholes in the Chinese wall to be aimed at themselves in order to show their wisdom to the whole world. The Chinese have achieved their economic miracle, adopting in many respects the experience of the USSR and copying all the technical achievements tirelessly. They still have authority in Mao Dzedong, and he studied with Stalin to develop the country's economy.

    Honestly, I am against the personification of state power, as is customary in the current era of information wars. Putin - then, Putin - that ... Gentlemen, first of all, leave behind Putin! Well, by God, only a preschooler can think that Putin is sitting in the Kremlin office, he reads "The Art of War", but develops cunning plans. Isn't it funny yourself? It was the State Department who instilled in us a bad habit, we have to get rid of it. They always personify power - Assad, Gaddafi, Hussein, Yanukovych, Milosevic, Arafat - it's easier this way! You are not destroying the state power of another country, you are not violating the sovereignty, you simply personify it in one person, and then you prove that this person is horribly monstrous, a tyrant, a despot, a satrap. Say, we will protect the stupid but good Zusuls from their insidious selfish leader. Therefore, please, do not repeat nonsense. So you know - Russia is not ruled by Putin !!! Russia is run by a whole team of people in key positions. This team has its own principles and values. Bad or good, harmful or useful - it will be seen later. one thing is for sure - it is effective. She knows how to take and retain power (according to Ilyich). So, in this team, I think there are enough people who read not only Sun Tzu, but also Wu Tzu, Huang Shi-gong san lue, Bai zhan qi lue ... Yes, there, most likely all the treatises of the Chinese military seven-book and maybe even in Chinese. So, this is probably exactly how war is understood in the Chinese tradition, or, more precisely, probably the only way as it says today and you can fight. The difference is that for Europeans, war is a continuation of politics, and for the Chinese, politics is a form of war. When everything around with nuclear weapons, it turns out that way.

    Here many write: Putin is Putin, ce ... And why does he appoint such ministers who all are falling apart? And why doesn’t he protect the Russians in Donbass? And why do we still have Chubais, Gref and others like them?
    Very simple. Putin, like any other president of any other country, is a talking head. In our country, perhaps - to a much lesser extent than, say, in the same States, but still. is he not single in decision making, and not the fact that in general it has any significant influence on the adoption of these very decisions. This is the principle of western democracy, which we, alas, have not yet been canceled: decisions are made by people unknown to the general public, but holding in their hands real control leversand these decisions are voiced by dummy figures on which all dogs can be hung without prejudice to the line being drawn.
    The Russian government’s governance structure still has a deadly number of elements introduced under the criminal Yeltsin regime. But the Yeltsin regime cannot be officially declared criminal - its current direct heir! But the only thing Amers need is to ramp up towards the right steps from the point of view of Russia's revival, they will immediately declare him hellish and take out something that the Panamanian papers will be a candy wrapper from. Something Sobchakov-Lensoviet. And they are feignedly horrified: but we, damn it, did not know! But we are the defenders of democracy all over the world! World police, so to speak! And the troops will be brought in. So let's say thank you that the group represented by the GDP manages to do at least something in this hell, at least with regard to the country's defense capabilities.

      Very simple. Putin, like any other president of any other country, is a talking head.

      Most likely in a different way. Power is the resultant of many forces. Part of the forces is Putin, part is Chubais, the third is some other oligarchs. All these forces must come to some consensus in order to stably manage society. The interests of all must be taken into account. A shift in favor of someone leads to imbalance and is fraught with consequences, from simple resignations to an explosion in the form of coups and revolutions (depending on the depth of the imbalance). Putin obviously represents moderately conservative forces that advocate the revival of part of the Soviet system, the army, and activity in foreign policy. But not two peas per spoon - this is obviously given by concessions to other power groups in other aspects of life. For example, the same oligarchs, maybe they say Putin - ok, come on, act, but don’t touch the economic system, we want to live like Tsar Boris, don’t take Medvedev, Chubais out of power — these are our people. Putin is not infinitely omnipotent - he must somehow reckon with this force. And if this force becomes an insurmountable obstacle, then dramatically all of this can be changed only with the support of some other force (for example, popular rating is also not an empty phrase). But apparently this is not enough yet, or Putin himself does not consider the situation in the economy so terrible that it is necessary to force the Chubais and the Gref to be uprooted. That's a tough question.

        And by the way, the last time such an imbalance in power structures led neither more nor less to the 37 year - repressions. Stalin gained strength and simply knocked out all saboteurs and oppositionists (in his understanding). At the same time, a bunch of innocents were kneaded, but Stalin’s goal was precisely to clean up the country's governing bodies from hidden oppositionists of various stripes. Many did not like the emphasis on industrialization; under the NEP it was more convenient. To others, on the contrary, it seemed that Stalin had moved away from Leninist dogmas into a nationwide national policy, underestimated the role of the party — the Trotskyists, the radical Bolsheviks. Dare everyone. Everyone who interfered with industrialization. But Stalin considered industrialization to be the main goal of those years, since the country was a large village, unable to compete with the West and unable to survive the upcoming war. It was all given to us with great blood, but the result is a cosmic nuclear power.

            Well, I would not say so. Too straightforward and primitive. Directly only Trotskyists. No, it's harder here. Just in the wake of the cleansing, banal envious people climbed out. A neighbor's wife is prettier - I'll write a denunciation that he is an enemy of the people. Do you think there was no such thing? It was, and how. Household. And not only Stalin or the NKVD are to blame for this - they are to blame. Well, the Trotskyists too. Many wrote denunciations not for everyday reasons (envy, resentment), but precisely for ideological reasons - convinced Bolsheviks, sincerely confident that they were writing about an undisclosed enemy. Such one "convinced" scribbled everything on my grandfather. They called my grandfather "there". But they didn't. And then the one who wrote was taken away. So it goes. After all, there were children who dispossessed their parents. Another question is what the liberal propaganda of the 90s made of this fetish. Instead of objectively saying that yes, there was a purge, but there were excesses, there were mistakes, they fanned them out of repression as if it was the destruction of only the innocent, as if this was the goal of the bloodthirsty Stalin. Not at all. Just as always - the idea was correct, and the implementation of the idea exceeded reasonable limits. In general, the story is not black and white, it is colored.

    I would like to note about Mr. Sun Tzu. His entire treatise worked in the field of the Chinese mentality. When China collided with the conquerors of another and, moreover, the Eastern culture, there was a failure. For example, the mass of the Gunas, Sanbiians, the Tang Dynasty (the founder is a nomad by his origin, whatever one may say), the Uighurs, Türks, Chzhurdzheni, the Manchurs seizing the Middle State, the treatises of Sun Tzu, somehow did not bother to read (and I suspect that they did not know how to read). So Sun Tzu's treatise is the answer to the order of its time and authorities. Good example English theorist Liddale Gard with his "strategy of indirect action"
    If you remember all the glorious freaks of Britain in the Second World War, the emergence of such theories becomes understandable. In principle, the Germans with their "strike on the main point" were much more effective.

    "But if in the end we have the option that suits Russia, that is, us, in terms of bringing Ukraine into a divine form, then what difference does it make which methods will be used for this?"

    And what option, in the context of the already lasting more than 2-year destruction, will suit the inhabitants of Donbass, who continue to die under the shelling of Kiev?

    They do not care, they know the difference, unlike the author of the publication.

    And bring Ukraine into a divine form at the expense of the blood of the inhabitants of Donbass - is that also the difference?

    Personally, I am confused by the complete lack of elementary knowledge. It seems that even schoolchildren imagine who Sun Tzu is. True, there is one caveat - not all, and only from a certain age of training.
    Ignorance of elementary things, complete with a spray of judgments about objects of a cosmic scale and corresponding stupidity, as a rule, implies in a vivid commentator either a minor or an adult male of a similar nature.

      Well, apart from accusations of not knowing Sun Tzu's personality, what basic things does he not know? And why did he spray? Cosmic scale and corresponding stupidity? - acquaintance with Bulgakov at the cinema? Dibil is not a property, it is a disease. Comparison with a student ... "from a certain learning age" ??? does learning have an age? As far as I know, Sun Tzu's treatises are not included in the school curriculum, but the list that appears in the first results of the search engine output, and called "10 books to seem smart" is included. But I recommend that you read not only the list itself, but also the books included in it. At least them. They say that visual memory can help in composing sentences and phrases, you can more competently express an idea and probably seem educated to someone.

    Another author again pulled an owl on the globe out of a desire to see the positive in Ukrainian affairs. Now, Sun Tzu-style Chitroplane.
    I don’t know if the book of the famous commander and theorist Sun Tzu "The Art of War" was tabletop for Vladimir Vladimirovich. However, considering for almost three years everything that is happening in Ukraine, I am imbued with the thought that it was.

    The human thought process is not yet amenable to an unambiguous explanation. Maybe you were so carried away that you yourself, recently studied this work of the Chinese, and under the impression. It happens. And if VVP has not read Sun? Can't it be? He reads Ilyin, Solzhenitsin, and there are references to this. In speech, he uses courtyard expressions, such as "who got up earlier and slippers." Then all your writing is the aforementioned owl on the globe.
    Putin profiled Ukraine. If we consider him as the Ruler of Russia. Here he is on a par with Kolya II, Gorbach and Borey. If you look at his figure as if he were the partisan president in the Kremlin catacombs, who cannot yet, not yet have time, then of course you can attract both Sun, Lun and the Marquis de Sade.

    What other militia, what republics, none of this was, it is the fruit of your sick imagination. A column of armored vehicles moving at high speed to Kiev, while no one could stand in her way or delay, let alone stop. The military could calmly enter the city, restore constitutional order there and restore legal power

    It was smooth on paper. The experience of "tank columns" already exists. Moscow. GKChP. Grozny. Chechnya. And Turkey won't hurt either. The introduction of tanks into the city will cause a huge wave of indignation. Tanks in the city have to crush people, I know this from myself. On the third day of the State Emergency Committee, I stood on the bridge near the hotel "Ukraine". And not because of Yeltsin. He was as far from me as Pluto. Indignation at the seizure of power was little embarrassing. We were waiting. I am an engineer then. There was a woman - an accountant. The deputy came to the bridge and said: there is a KGB airborne division and that the tanks should not be blocked. What about you. We will stand. We waited. An hour later, the deputy came again and said that the division had refused to go to Moscow. They asked not to disperse. The famous automatic fire of a frightened soldier rang out. The woman turned to me: "Well, thank God! It's begun." Who was in the war knows the value of expectations.
    Now about you, Nobody. "Everything is very easy and simple, for small children" Uncle Stepa is a policeman. Apart from Semyon Mikhailovich Divan-Budyonny, you cannot be named. Yes, I was given the only food for you in those years - there was breast milk

Indignation gripped them, here the hairy-headed ones also gripped indignation, with the fact that the yanyk was shitting on a gold toilet, with all the consequences. And then for me and millions of boys across the country, the only food was a piece of bread, on holidays, with sugar and nicotine so that I didn't want to eat. Our fathers in Siberia and the Far East really worked hard, and did not complain about life under the USSR, and did not demand "Freedom" - there was something to do. And you, well-fed Muscovites, wanted from America's boredom. In the same way, out of boredom, stupidity and curiosity, this woman next to you said, "Well, thank God! It has begun." I’ll tell you so, they would crush you brainless tanks, but everyone would be indignant and forget. But maybe the country would be kept. And the result of the fact that a couple of thousand were not crushed, millions were killed and tens of millions were not born. There is no greater sin and vice in power (or claiming it) than weakness. In Budapest, they did not once again bazaar and gusli for the outraged. And another 35 years of a quiet, well-fed life for the Czechoslovakians themselves. Well, now the Czech Republic is known for its whores. Go to no, look at the daughters of your peers.

    As for Donbass, it was 50/50...
    The mattresses will “merge” Ukraine, because they have not achieved their goal - a NATO military base in Crimea..
    The economic situation in Ukraine at that time was completely different from what it is now, and people “threw their caps into the air” out of joy that Yanyk was thrown out..
    The civil war in Ukraine does not give the mattress makers the opportunity to accept Ukraine into NATO. And this is a very important factor..
    Who will feed 40 million people in Ukraine?
    Only a madman would risk sending troops into the territory of Ukraine.
    By introducing troops into the territory of Ukraine, we would be faced with both a guerrilla war among the population and the open participation of NATO troops in this war..

    The Club of Rome believes that in the Russian Federation after Putin, nationalists will come to power (these futurologists from the English-speaking elite gave as much as 83% for this, so that El Kiru thought so), and not just any nationalists, but those nurtured by China, which will use the Russian Federation against The West and {literally} think “to screw Russia under Putin”, this is a quote from the world behind-the-scenes “elite of parasites”, it’s a pity Communism dissolved in the Future, they knew how to deal with the non-handshake non-humans of narcissistic capitalism, and not negotiate with them. And then I remembered: of the promised imprisoned Ukrainian oligarchs-politicians-nationalists-criminals-child killers, did any of them actually go to prison in 3 years? They deceived us again... So maybe the Club of Rome is right and that’s where everything is heading - after Putin, soft and fluffy, no one in Russian politics will negotiate with the West and China will turn the Russian Federation into another North Korea (in which the Chinese vacation cheaply). Some anonymous “Kremlin special services” will kidnap politicians, bankers and other non-humans by families and imprison them, that is, China will imprison those Americans, British, etc. in Siberia. who China doesn’t like, and the Russian people will watch TV shows and applaud the “New Political Elite”, which finally does not give up the Honor of Russia and no longer shakes hands with Western NATO scumbags, mind? The infrastructure in Siberia has already been built using Russian-Chinese resources... It will not be the Russian Federation, but such an external one hundred and forty million resource-extracting colony of one and a half billion China... Two years ago, the Club of Rome was sure: a third world war is needed before 2020, until the Russian Federation rearms its army and nuclear triad (NATO now has a twenty-fold advantage in the fleet over Russia in European waters, Turkey alone has five times more ships on the Black Sea than the Russian Federation and Ukraine combined (and now they don’t have to take them together thanks to the efforts of the CIA) - admitted in 2011- m our admiral, there are links on Wikipedia) otherwise the Russian Federation will reconcile with its influence China and India (that’s half the world’s population) and by the middle of the XNUMXst century they will crush the USA and EU countries with their power, and by the end of the century they will make English a dead language, like Latin , having achieved a planetary ban on English speech, $ and other attributes of the Western way of life (by analogy with the fascist swastika). For those who are not in the know, the Club of Rome includes the most influential speakers of English: politicians, bankers, intellectual elite, etc. They are no less vicious than the antagonists from Akame Ga Kill and just as sincerely believe that they have the right to do everything that they do in the world, for example, distributing medicines in third countries that cause infertility in girls from the age of eleven.

    The author here is trying to prove that Crimea and everything that followed it was an elegant move by our president, and refers to an ancient Chinese theorist. And there it is well said: he takes other people’s fortresses without fighting. So, the most elegant move would be to create a situation in which the Ukrainian authorities themselves would give up Crimea, and even pay extra for it. How?
