Lester: Good morning from Kyiv where we got to sleep through the night for a change. This post should be required reading for all politicians and those seeking a "realpolitik" view. Thank you for the thorough, coherent and logical analysis, as per usual. We have taken your advice and are working on a joint husband-wife "war memoir". The only thing I dread is seeking a publisher because I am terrible at self-promotion and probably a bit "war fragile" for rejection. Looking forward to your follow-up article. Best regards.
