I neglected to mention the last offering on the menu. Your breakdown on divvying up the Ukrainian pie was illuminating. It will be interesting to see how that ends up. I can’t imagine Russia will want to commit to overseeing the total of Ukraine, especially the western parts that aren’t particularly pro Russian. Who knows.

I think there's a lot of history to guide those ultimate decisions. Ukraine really was carved out of several of those countries after WWII into Russia, and then segregated off in the Soviet breakup. That's probably part of the reason it has no national identity except residual Nazism.

This is the most comprehensive breakdown of the German debacle I’ve seen. By the way the visuals you put in are fantastic. I’m a simple man so the more illustration the better.

The Armenian situation I admit, sort of flummoxes me. I’ve got to dig into it further. It’s hard for me to keep track of the nuance of the world situation. That’s why I find your research invaluable.

Thanks again.

I actually have an Armenia update in the works. Yeah, I resisted the temptation to jump right in Saturday. It grew slowly then mushroomed at the end. It was a fun story to write. And I already had that non aggression pact in my headlights. More complete was worth the wait. At least I think so!
