“
It's in his nature, Sylvester wants to eat Titi
”.
It is by this rather comical parallel that Michel Yakovleff, general of army corps (2S) and former vice-chief of staff of SHAPE at NATO tried to illustrate on LCI Monday January 2 the military strategy of the Russian President Putin in Ukraine.
That day, the Ukrainian authorities reported new Russian attacks on the capital.
Twenty aerial targets were reportedly shot down, according to Serguïï Popko, head of the military administration of the city of kyiv.
As Russian strikes rain down on the capital and in the Donestsk region, the Ukrainian army retaliated with a key attack that left more than 60 dead on the Russian side.
This escalation of strikes gave rise to an anthology of analyzes drawn from cinematographic references, offered by Michel Yakovleff.
The principle is simple, for the latter who warns of wanting to “
dare an image of derision
” on the LCI set.
"
President Putin is like Sylvester, and repeats 'this time I'm going to do it to myself'
", imitates the general (2S) in a falsetto voice, referring to the famous American cartoon opposing the cat Sylvester to his rival canary Titi, which the first tries in vain to devour.
"
And Titi, the little canary
", he continues, implicitly pointing to Ukraine, "
it's 'olalah, poor Sylvester, his plan didn't work'
".
Ultimately, "
It's in the nature [of Poutine, NDLR], Sylvester wants to eat Titi
", asserts the French general, who has become famous for months for his good words and his very clear judgments on the war in Ukraine.
For the former number 4 in the NATO channel, also recognized for his very serious work
Theoretical tactics
, the Russian head of state is engaged in a logic of endless strikes.
“
There is no dead end.
For Putin who started in this logic of Grosminet, he will continue to type.
And to conclude by changing the character, but not the register: “
As Trotsky said, finally Chuck Norris, if violence does not solve your problem, it is because you are not hitting hard enough.
