So, I propose to consider the following truths that will probably help to avoid war fatigue:
The first category includes those who want the war to end quickly – they are its first victims.
The second category includes those who see neither the end nor the beginning of the war. These people are bound to become its psychological hostages. Numbed in deep suffering and fear, sitting in one place, they wait for the enemy’s mercy.
The third category is those who clearly understand war through its stages.
The outbreak of war is always known, but no one prepared for it (the exception is Britain, which, after intelligence reports of its capture, started evacuating).
The stages of the war, such as an attack, occupation, genocide, destruction, and the absence of law, have no time limits. They are determined by the exhaustion of one of the parties and the beginning of the next stage – negotiations.
Negotiations are the end of the war.
Then comes the post–war period of recovery, reconstruction, assessment of the consequences and the beginning of the political activity to strengthen sovereignty. Thus, the uncertainty of war ends with the exhaustion of one of the parties and the negotiations beginning. The key to surviving this stage is to be constantly in reality and to keep a close eye on the statistics.
