The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Russia is winning

Even if the most "optimistic" reports are accepted, the Russian forces in Ukraine, which only represent 20% of the total Russian Army currently available, have only suffered about 10% casualties in a month of heavy fighting, in which they have taken control of a full 20% of Ukrainian territory, and, are continuing to steadily advance. There is no reason whatsoever for them to stop. They have the backing of China, and of India. The majority of the world's population is on their side. And, their demands are relatively modest, all things considered. The Russians want a neutral Ukraine, along the same lines as Finland. Is this really so unreasonable? How would the U.S. react to Mexico forming a military alliance with China? That's really the issue, isn't it? NATO should stop encouraging and backing this pointless war against Vladimir Putin. The whole world will not be the lapdogs of NATO and the U.S., and, they'll simply have to get used to that fact, I'm afraid. One way, or the other.
