In Moscow, the generals are talking about a hundred years' war
Fred Weir, a Canadian and veteran Moscow correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, reports that, 'In Moscow, the generals are talking about a hundred years of war. That's a grim mood, but they might well mean it.'
That's worse than Edward Luttwak's prediction of another Seven Years' War, which reminds me that someone supposedly wrote a play in which a character comes on stage and says, 'The Seven Years' War has broken out'.
How can Russia be so incompetent as to be unable to subdue Ukraine? How can its generals look in the mirror when they predict 100 years war? It is pretty amazing.
