Likely Putin. I've kept up doing things like adding advisories to svn,
and reading
the mailing lists, but have been spending quite a bit of time following
the invasion

I wondered if it is not a good time to invade anyone in Europe
temperatures in Ukraine are hovering around zero.
It least the mud stays frozen and maybe Putin wont be repeating the
Nazi invasion of Russia. That would be poetic
At least he waited until after the Winter Olympics!! ;-P

For me it is that "something else", I've only very occasionally been=20 active here, after trying to catch up with the mailing lists there
was only too rarely time to post here. And now that XS4ALL is more or
less dying and is completely ending its usenet support, I doubt I'll
take an account somewhere else. My new ISP doesn't intend to enable

was thinking in "F" while you, like the rest of the civilized world,
were very likely talking "C."
I know little of that part of the world, but if it's anything like
Upstate New York, this time of year a temperature of 0 degrees C would
feel like a nice early Spring day. Very comfortable, especially for
younger folks, after the weather that is usually experienced in January
and February.

The soil is frozen hard enough to support tanks. War in Winter is how the USSR beat the NAZI in WW II. But then aside from the
anti-semites the Ukraine was on the same side.
Putin assumed that he could crush the opposition in one bold
stroke and failed to plan for an extended war. This is logistic mistake equivalent to the Hitlerian Armies failure. Putin is a Fascist and
follows their errors to the letter.

0C is melting weather, ang the soil of the Ukraine can turn into gumbo
making driving of trucks/tanks etc across fields an exercise in
futility, as the Germans ( and earlier invasions) discovered. I
believe that was what was being referred to.

Marja,
I'm reading this newsgroup on news.kpn.nl, so they still support usenet groups.
All the best,
Marc.
