Ukraine War 

Honestly with all the chatter about Bakhmut in my general feed my reaction is
1) this is horrible as wars are always horrible
2) senseless waste of life
3) this town of prewar 70,000 people has been fought over for months since August 2022
4) even assuming Russia takes this location today this is a huge waste of people, materials, and time to claim the location
5) I mean it is possible the Ukraine military is still there in droves and might be pincered but... data from front lines to civilian news and social media should be treated skeptically

6) guess we will see what happens, it seems liekly Bakhmut will "fall" but what that means and the impact is... hard to judge
