Extra newsletter today, reflecting on some parts of the early invasion that are easily forgotten as we mark the occasion.
There was *such* a rush to simple narratives of early action, and equally impulsive course-corrections when the situation became less novel.
But our nations are diverse, our international systems are complexly interlocked, and we're still ill-prepared for the ideological rethinks that a long war requires.
How long will our narrative gaps define us?
