RE:RE:RE:Knox, and readers hereSun Tsu said: - Never surround an enemy - an enemy that is completely surrounded has no choice but to fight to the death. A good commander will always leave an avenue open for escape. Once the enemy realizes this, and breaks ranks to flee, the battle is won. And a good commander can pick off those retreating later.
So many years ago...and every great military commander since has been more than familiar with Art of War - Rommel, Patton, just to name a couple. Gets better every time you read it!

further clarification to my post....Putin surely feels that he is threatened with his Ukraine campaign not going nearly as well as he must have assumed.There may be many elites that think this operation was hugely damaging to Russia, and, probably the easiest way to begin to undue the damage would be for Putin to be dethroned, and to 'dissappear', possibly. To call Putin a War Criminal by Biden, just cements Putin into how he feels he needs to pull out some kind of win, because his power position , and even his life, is threatened.....so, so much for building a ' golden bridge' for Putin to retreat across.....sad, and just more stupidity.
