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".

Zelensky is being "rope a doped" in Kursk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYN9WB5x8yM I've been saying since it began that there's no way for the Ukrainians to fully control territory in Russia, and, it's still true. So, why are they still there? Why haven't the Russians succeeded in kicking them out? Well, sure, the Ukrainians have taken a bit of territory in Kursk, and seem to be holding onto it for the moment, although they are being carpet bombed, and suffering casualties. The Russians haven't sent in heavy forces to take them out. Why not? Don't they have them? The thing is, if you look carefully at the maps, you can see that Russia has been advancing much more rapidly all across the front in Ukraine since this Ukrainian incursion into Russia began. This is precisely the opposite of what Zelensky had intended with his incursion. It was intended to take pressure off the front, by forcing the Russians to divert forces from the front, back to Russia, to control the Ukrainian incursion into Russia. Putin has not done this. He's simply controlled and hurt the Ukrainians with aerial bombing in Kursk, and, the Ukrainians have to continue resupplying their besieged forces with ammunition men and material, thus diverting supplies that are badly needed by Ukrainians in Ukraine. So, Zelensky in being hurt in Russia at minimal cost to the Russians, and the Ukrainian forces are being starved for ammunition, men and material in Ukraine, allowing the Russians to rapidly advance, which is what they are doing. It's win-win for Russia! Zelensky and Ukraine are being rope-a-doped by the Russians, in Russia itself. This is brilliant work by Vladimir Putin!
