Yesterday, most of Sunday’s snow was gone. However, although we are expecting sun today, it won’t warm up to above freezing before Friday. Good thing I like staying inside.

The Conversation – How do Russia’s reasons for war stack up? An expert on ‘just war’ explains
Quote – That’s not to say that [philosophers, theologians, politicians and military leaders] always agree on how to apply just war principles to an actual conflict. Given the Kremlin’s attempts to justify its invasion of Ukraine, including its groundless accusations of genocide, it’s worth analyzing Russia’s position through the lens of the just war tradition – the focus of my work as a political scientist who studies the ethics of conflict.
Click through for a crash course in what makes waging war morally acceptable. As she shoud, the author works hard to be fair. This question is not black and white, but multiple shades pf gray.
Great Power – There is no way back. [Part 1] [If we want the war to stay in Ukraine, we have to win it in Ukraine.]
Quote – Since the first boom, Ukrainian strategic decision-making was actually about looking for victory — which technically is what strategy is for; strategy is a theory of success in war — and about creating opportunity for something other than just dying quietly in the mud and the rubble. This has given them an incalculable advantage over Russia. And honestly, over us. We haven’t caught up yet.

Women’s History – Wikipedia – Grace Hopper
Quote – Grace Brewster Murray Hopper was an American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages.

Beau – Let’s talk about a Russian article from the future….
[NOTE: My 92 y/o uncle (retired Lutheran minister) died last week, and his funeral was yesterday. So I’ve been spending time w/ relatives. With families now tending to be far-flung, probably like most families it’s down to reunions, weddings and funerals. So that is why I’ve been AWOL. But I wanted to share a lighthearted moment from the otherwise tragic Russian invasion of the Ukraine.]
A stealth Ukranian captured a hilarious video of a hapless Russian soldier trying to break-in to an electronics store in Kherson, no doubt to loot some new gadgets.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. The only losses recorded were some bullets, the door’s window and the Russky soldier’s pride, as he slinks off in defeat! It became such a popular meme that it even earned its own Wikipedia page:
The Battle of Techno House 2022
Here’s the video of the battle:
