When considering the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it is important to remember that there may be readers from both countries reading this article. With that in mind, I want to discuss the relationship between skills and relationships.
The figure below illustrates the result of the relationship between Person A and Person B, including Fight, Flight, and Negotiation skills. Fight represents physical combat between the two parties, while Flight involves escaping from Person A or Person B. Negotiation refers to resolving the conflict through language and without violence.
Currently, it seems that Russia is relying solely on its Fighting skill when dealing with Ukraine, and is unable or unwilling to utilize its Negotiation skill. This puts Ukraine in a favorable position, as they have the option to use either Fight or Negotiation skills to address the conflict. While Ukraine cannot escape the conflict, they may have the opportunity to win if they can employ their Negotiation skill effectively.
In summary, the current situation between Russia and Ukraine shows that Russia's limited reliance on its Fighting skill may lead to defeat, while Ukraine's ability to use both Fight and Negotiation skills may lead to victory.
