Both Vladimir Putin — who is on the verge of losing his prolonged war against Ukraine — and Donald Trump — who lost his war in Iran before it even began — would have benefited if they had heeded the words of an expert on the subject:

“There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.”

– Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”

It is no less true today than it was more than two millennia ago, as proven by the countless wars and revolutions that have been fought around the world since Sun Tzu was a general in the Chinese army.

If only the people in charge would start paying attention to history . . .

Just sayin’ .. . .
