change

Given how prestigious this class is, and how hard it is to get in, I'm really glad I am enjoying and appreciating it. I also cannot adequately say how much I appreciate my boss and the great person doing my job while I focus on the class. 

According to the creators of the Myers Briggs personality test your type doesn't change. Well, my fourth test in my life, provided through the class, has just said it can. 

Sean Spoonts, a U.S. Navy veteran, gave Newsweek an explanation of how Ukraine can win Crimea back. 

Dan Rice, an advisor to the Ukrainian armed forces, says that the Russian military has been degraded in less than a year and will not recover in his lifetime. Russia was considered a "peer competitor" to the US and is no longer AND that China will think twice before invading Taiwan. 

Really good story - a Ukrainian soldier had an unexploded grenade in his chest. The medical service was able to get it out and he's going to be ok. 

The UK and Poland will donate Challenger 2 and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Unlike Russian tanks they both have night vision. They have better armor, better fire control, better electronics, and better suspension systems. They are considered superior to most Russian tanks and will probably make it palatable for more NATO counties (Germany) to donate Leopard tanks. NATO had limited its tanks to Ukraine to T-72 tanks on the premise that they'd be easier for Ukrainian's military to operate, arm, and maintain. Giving Ukraine these better tanks would be an escalatory step and might piss off Russia. Yeah, Russia has been so horrendous that we now think the best approach is to beat Russia asap. We also think Putin's nuclear threats are empty. 

And tomorrow is Friday!!!
