There's a quote... I think it was Kissinger, but I can't find it now. "Don't issue an order unless you're prepared to back it up with force."

A Zelensky, Trump and Putin is really 2 wolves and a lamb meeting to decide what's for lunch. Or a better analogy may be a lamb, a wolf and its bitch.

That's what Putin thought at the beginning of the three day war. Not surprised if Trump thought so too.

Wasn't it "Don't issue an order that wont be followed" or some such? I think it is a common saying even though Kissinger might have also said it.
