Day 1213

NATO helps Ukraine

I tried to navigate the daily Russian Campaign Assessment of our situation published by the Institute for the Study of War, unsuccessfully. The June 19 brief contains more than 5,000 words, minus 100 self-referencing footnotes.

How annoying!

The biggest challenge to producing well-formed updates for the web about the war, I think, could be a bit of code that stops turning Putin’s pronouncments into a hyperlink with the title of the loaded page as an attribute.

Since 2022, the script to preflight for Russia-Ukraine war analysis has had a buttload of errors removed (doubtless there are more to find) and new (terribly optional) scripts are being been added to quickly reformat the environment and close the Risk-Confidence Gap☠.

Future updates should be able to pick up dry cleaning, wash your car and return phone calls.
