Vladimir Putin is the most ardent and accomplished follower today of a famous Napoleonic maxim. From Larry Johnson at thegatewaypundit.com:
The following comes from my friend, Helmholtz Smith. He’s a decorated military analyst and Russian expert.
One of Napoleon’s observations is that you should never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake. Russians know this, not least because they were careful not to interrupt Napoleon himself in 1812. Putin and his team have had plenty of opportunities to meet NATO’s leaders, observe them, negotiate with them and assess them. It’s unlikely they’re very impressed. But when they started their “special military operation” in Ukraine they could never have dreamed how self-destructive NATO would be.
What mistakes? First, the West has not shot itself in the foot with its economic sanctions – Hungary’s Viktor Orban is right when he observes that it has put a slug into its lungs. One can still limp along with a broken foot, but a shot to the lungs is pretty serious. Second, who in Moscow could have imagined that NATO would shovel its ammunition and weapons stockpiles into the Ukrainian black hole in the expectation that if they can get the latest wonderwaffe to General Steiner they’ll be in Moscow by Christmas.
A good reason for Moscow to take it slowly – let the mistakes develop, compound and metastasize. It’s happening by itself. Naturally, inevitably, logically. No outside effort required. An unexpected bonus.
Don’t interrupt.
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
I just don’t understand why so many commentators on the Ukraine war, and the terrible damage that the West’s sanctions against Russia are doing, don’t understand that these sanctions are aimed at THE WEST – to destroy Western economies and people’s living standards by sending the cost of fuel through the roof, and to create food shortages, so as to create an economic and financial collapse designed to create in turn such desperation that the people of the Western world will surrender to the fascist tyranny of the Great Reset.
All of you commentators bemoan the supposed stupidity of Western ‘leaders’ (all WEF puppets) in destroying their own economies for Ukraine – instead of realizing that they are all totally deliberately destroying the Western economies!
