This story makes me unspeakably happy.

Know why Sun Tzu goes on about terrain so much? This is why.

The Russians have no clue where they are, but the Ukrainians do.

Christian Caryl in WaPo on Putin's War...

You will probably succeed in scoring military victories through the sheer force of superior numbers, but you will be able to stay in Ukraine only by bayonet — and that means you won’t be able to stay for long. It could be that you understand that you have neither the forces nor the will to maintain a long-term occupation of the country — but even if you try to terrorize Ukrainians ...

into accepting a pro-Russian leader as your proxy, that effort will not endure, either. Ukrainians have been through that before. They won’t be willing to go back.

Hell YES. RF founder and CEO:

History note: What people call "the Confederate Flag" is not really the flag of the Confederation.
It is the Battle Flag of the Northern Army of Virginia, i.e. the largest Confederate Army, who were fighting the cause of keeping black people enslaved. Sort of like the Nazis of their day.
And losers.

At least 11 people were killed in a huge gas explosion in central China, state media reported https://cnn.it/2RNaxDA

One cop shoots another cop, then the cops summarily execute the guy they have restrained on the floor, then falsely claim it was the dead guy who fired the first shot even though bystanders were recording:
