The last few weeks have been unusually busy, so my planned postings have been stacking up without a chance to polish them. Hopefully I can get back to a more regular posting schedule in March.
One thing I do want to mention? The only person who knows what's going to happen in the Ukraine is Vladimir Putin so here's hoping he decides to call the whole thing off. However in all of the relentless and disturbingly eager speculation about a possible war in Ukraine I haven't seen a single mention of the most important factor.
Weather. The impact of weather on... oh just about everything human beings do.. can't be underestimated and military operations are no exception. So I kind of roll my eyes when every news story is about who is meeting with who and what shiny new weapon systems are being deployed and not how much rain is expected and if it is going to freeze anytime soon.
In case you are wondering, you can check the forecast for Kiev on Weather Underground.
