We need to dispense with the useless euphemisms that have previously been used to describe this so politicians can look away. This is war, plain and simple, and is how Putin sees it. And it will only get worse until Russia thinks it is getting push back. understandingwar.org/research/def...

One of the interesting aspects of exploring Italian Front battlefields…calorie deficit. It’s often not physically possible to consume the same number of calories as those expended. This was also the case for soldiers, in WW1 and now. After a week of -1,500 k/cal per day at altitude, I’m done in.

There is a decade of work in these archives, and much of it is timeless (by design). This is why.
