"Neither should men study war with a view to the enslavement of those who do not deserve to be enslaved; but first of all they should provide against their own enslavement, and in the second place obtain empire for the good of the governed, and not for the sake of exercising a general despotism, and in the third place they should seek to be masters only over those who deserve to be slaves... Since the end of individuals and of states is the same, the end of the most satisfactory man and of the most satisfactory law must also agree."

- Aristotle, Politics Book VII

Mars is the central figure in the composition. The Roman god of war charges with shield and sword as well as breastplate and helmet. The figure's skin and cape are dominated by the color red to further emphasize his identity as the Roman god of war.

The Roman goddess of love (and Mars's mistress) endeavors to restrain Mars and maintain peace. Her arm is looped ineffectually around his in a physical gesture. Her expression, meanwhile, plaintively entreaties Mars to stop his charge. Venus is depicted in typical Rubensian fashion with characteristic rolls of exposed flesh. The goddess is accompanied by Amors and Cupids who attempt to assist her.

"People used to go into battle with a small number of soldiers. They fought small skirmishes and made lengthy sieges. Now they engage in great battles, and as soon as the road ahead is clear, they march straight on the capital in order to end the war with a single blow."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Fuel war" as part of a strategic plan to defeat the Ukrainian army

If you look at the situation without rose-colored glasses, but also without black ones, it can be noted that by advancing in several directions, the command of the Russian Army has achieved a significant depletion of fuel reserves in Ukraine. After that, large oil depots were destroyed in turn, which deprived the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the ability to effectively transfer troops and supply them with everything necessary.

In the final, a decisive blow was dealt to the Kremenchug Oil Refinery, which made it impossible for the Ukrainian group to leave the encirclement in the Donbass, which it is highly likely to fall into in the near future.

If Zelensky nevertheless gives a belated order to withdraw troops from the Donbass, the Ukrainian units will be forced to retreat on foot, as the equipment will simply be left without fuel.

Peace terms from History of the Peloponnesian War

"'The Athenians and Lacedaemonians and their respective allies make peace upon the following terms, to which they swear, each city separately:— 'I. Touching the common temples, any one who pleases may go and sacrifice in them and enquire at them, on behalf either of himself or of the state, according to the custom of his country, both by land and sea, without fear.

'II. The precinct and the temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Delphian people shall be independent, and shall retain their own revenues and their own courts of justice, both for themselves and for their territory, according to their ancestral customs. 'III. The peace between the Athenians and their confederates and the Lacedaemonians and their confederates shall endure fifty years, both by sea and land, without fraud or hurt.

'IV. They shall not be allowed to bear arms to the hurt of one another in any way or manner; neither the Lacedaemonians and their allies against the Athenians and their allies, nor the Athenians and their allies against the Lacedaemonians and their allies; and they shall determine any controversy which may arise between them by oaths and other legal means in such sort as they shall agree.

'V. The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall restore Amphipolis to the Athenians.

'VI. The inhabitants of any cities which the Lacedaemonians deliver over to the Athenians may depart whithersoever they please, and take their property with them. The said cities shall be independent, but shall pay the tribute which was fixed in the time of Aristides. After the conclusion of the treaty the Athenians and their allies shall not be allowed to make war upon them to their hurt, so long as they pay the tribute. The cities are these— Argilus, Stagirus, Acanthus, Scolus, Olynthus, Spartolus: these shall be allies neither of the Lacedaemonians nor of the Athenians, but if the Athenians succeed in persuading them, having their consent, they may make them allies.

'VII. The Mecybernaeans, Sanaeans, and Singaeans shall dwell in their own cities on the same terms as the Olynthians and Acanthians.

'VIII. The Lacedaemonians and the allies shall restore Panactum8 to the Athenians. The Athenians shall restore to the Lacedaemonians Coryphasium, Cythera Methonè, Pteleum, and Atalantè.

'IX. The Athenians shall surrender the Lacedaemonian captives whom they have in their public prison, or who are in the public prison of any place within the Athenian dominions, and they shall let go the Peloponnesians who are besieged in Scionè, and another allies of the Lacedaemonians who are in Scionè, and all whom Brasidas introduced into the place, and any of the allies of the Lacedaehnonians who are in the public prison at Athens, or in the public prison of any place within the Athenian dominions. The Lacedaemonians and their allies in like manner shall restore those of the Athenians and their allies who are their prisoners.

'X. Respecting Scionè, Toronè, and Sermylè, or any cities which are held by the Athenians, the Athenians shall do with the inhabitants of the said cities, or of any cities which are held by them, as they think fit.

'XI. The Athenians shall bind themselves by oath to the Lacedaemonians and their allies, city by city, and the oath shall be that which in the several cities of the two contracting parties is deemed the most binding. The oath shall be in the following form:—'I will abide by this treaty and by this peace truly and sincerely.' The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall bind themselves by a similar oath to the Athenians. This oath shall be renewed by both parties every year; and they shall erect pillars at Olympia, Delphi, and the Isthmus, at Athens in the Acropolis, at Lacedaemon in the temple of Apollo at Amyclae.

'XII. If anything whatsoever be forgotten on one side or the other, either party may, without violation of their oaths, take honest counsel and alter the treaty in such manner as shall seem good to the two parties, the Athenians and Lacedaemonians.'"

I. A master of the art of war has said, "I do not dare to host aggression; I seek the hospitality of defense. I do not dare to advance an inch; I prefer to retire a foot."

This is called gaining ground without advancing, baring the muscles without exposing them, flourishing a weapon one does not have; advancing against the enemy in the direction of no-enemy.

II. Skilled in the unvarying way, a wise leader is not the aggressor; skilled in warfare, he is cool headed; a victor, he does not humiliate his foe; commanding men, he humbly applies his art.

In not contending lies his strength. By the efforts of others, his work is carried out, following the unvarying way of the heavens.

~ Lao Tzu
