  1. Hopefully some real pressure can make Putin accept peace

  2. Orel (Oryol) has a population of 300k, it is not very small town.
    And it is ~380km or about 5-6hours drive from Moscow.

  3. When I was in Russia years ago, I was surprised and impressed by those centralized heating systems that towns had; it was a good way bringing economy of scale to the cost of heating for everyone making it cheaper for everyone. It was unlike any central heating I’d ever seen the west.

    I never thought of that centralization in terms of how it would become a vulnerability in war. I guess warmongering assholes like Putin are why people can’t have nice things

  4. That’s what Putin gets for trying to invade in winter.
