Fascinating. So much resonance with today’s situation.

The Crimean War of 1853-6 saw Russia clash with an alliance of forces including Britain, France and the Ottoman empire. But what were the causes of the conflict? Why does it still exert such a hold on the Russian imagination today?

Someone told me about the board-game #Warhammer. I thought: where are the toilets and cafeterias? An on-line video showed an energetic presenter looking like Ukraine's Zelensky. That made me even more fearful for the people. Inn an earlier #CrimeanWar that #FlorenceNightingale did data visualizations to show that British soldiers were more likely to die from #sanitation/#hygiene conditions than from enemy sodliers. #HisashiInouesaid Japan's military was bad at feeding its soldiers: bad at war.
