The Surgeon"s Dilemma:A Neurosurgeon"s solution to the Russio-ukranian crisis?

There is a book I read. its titled ,RANGE how generalists thrive in a specialised world. it was selected as one of the books for the JP Morgan summer reading list about thre years ago so you might agree or think its a good book to read.
what RANGE impressed om me is that the solution to an economic problem, for example might not necessarily come from an economist same with other categories of problems
it is in the light of this position in RANGE ,that i look at neurosurgery as perhaps a possible source of ideas as to how to go about the russio ukranian crisis.. I saw a youtube video by a top notch military analyst and explaining with graphics, parallel lines ,line to be crossed, lines not advised to be crossed. circles here , circles thee, no go areas etc then i thought this is more like a NEURO surgeons Dilemma .. .its not a problem but a dilemma, so i would suggest that we bring in the top notch surgeons from oith sides to advice their leaders as to the way forward . i myself i am just about fresh out of the surgical ward its my first time being operated upon and i have drawn on that experience at Hackney Homerton Hospital London to do this write up #london #leaders #like #experience #neurosurgery

Toyin thanks
It's as delicate  as the most delicate of surgical operations. Interestingly there is the military  expression  such as  Surgical Airstrike its just that this time they might need  to engage real surgeons.  Minds of real surgeons. The modern soldier  fights with his mind.he is in the  words of vp prof  yemi Osinbajo a warrior scholar.
