Why are so many castles all over Europe on the high ground? Observation easier to defend

My mind and my nerves are fairly resilient because, perhaps naively, I believe that the Russian generals know what they're doing and aren't playing to the gallery. In other words, I have confidence in the ‘ filigree’. Just imagine, trust!

P.S. Kudos for the knowledge of the terrain that you deploy. And your maps are a pleasure for the eye, the colours, the grading of the lines and shapes, almost to the point of forgetting the blood, the tears and the ravages they represent.

Well written. I thing the General Staff of the RA know exactly what they are doing.

After 30 plus years of an hiatus where the hegemon ruled I am glad it will come to an end just like WW2 becuase without the Russians who did all the hevay lifting and dying too sadly even though it ended one nasty ideology at the time, its ironic that you all once again have to save us from the evil regime that has once again reared its' hasty and ugly head.

Putin has spoken very eloquently by helping us understand history of the past as well as the coming future of our own civilisation which is wonderful and gives me hope too.

Thanks for the hard work that you are doing to keep us informed.

Hopefully this will hasten the end of another “nasty” ideology.
