The situation at the front is such that I mainly became an observer - and a reader of real military experts. Just two years ago, my knowledge was enough to give a minimal expert opinion, but the war is unfolding, and my ability has no time to grow. I honestly admit this gap: what seems obvious to me today requires clarification, reservations and references to people who see more and more deeply. Therefore, you must fill your knowledge slowly, in a piecemeal way, constantly taking into account the fact that the reports will become obsolete faster than you have time to understand them. I read the analyses, compare the estimates, point out where the experts disagree and why. But the role of the observer is not as passive as it sounds. The observer records the change of war, when familiar terms cease to describe reality, and new ones have not yet been established. Pioneer and Max stock.
