Ukraine War – Tabula Rasa

The Russians have been decimating Ukrainian power infrastructure using suicide drones for the last three months. Despite their best efforts, the pay out has been paltry. This is because Europe is experiencing the warmest winter recorded in the last 100 years. Hence power usage has dropped so dramatically for heating that despite the bombed out infrastructure. The Ukrainians are still able to hobble along quite happily. But this outcome has dark and omnimous implications. Because in spring when Ukrainian farmers begin their seasoning sowing of wheat crops. The Russians will set fire to these fields. My point is to underscore this – the Ukrainian War will evolve into an existential conflict. This by implication can only mean one thing – the Russians have to adopt a scorch earth strategy. They will level everything to rubble……… Tabula Rasa.
