I agree, Putin is indeed the kind of man who would retreat, but not before killing all the civilians and burning all the food and houses, taking advantage of the French's inablity to supply their own frontline. However, I'm not sure if that tactic is still effective in this day and age. It's mostly effective for getting you to The Hague faster.
