Update: Murder and Oreshnik

Spell Misses

In my article “Murder Most Foul” in which I examine Bernhard’s take on the Krillov murder and “negotiations” with Trump, I misspelled B’s source James Jatra as “James Jetra” — as my always helpfully astute commenters noted.

Thank ya’ guys.

Yes, I know — I am dyslexic.

In my case, it is a problem with sound/ symbol association and linearity. Most people associate sounds naturally and think linearly usually left to right or vertically (in Japanese) top to bottom — and sub-verbalize. I don’t.

I read visually and my eyes tend to zig-zag on the page. I don’t have a good sense of left and right. Tell me to go “left” I often go right — and vice versa.

The downside of dyslexia is bad spelling and occasionally missing words and the condition goes with dyscalculia and dysgraphia and other “dys” stuff.

But it also comes with some gifts.

One upside is a reading speed about 3 to 4 times higher than normal with high ideational retention. The “Zig-zag” reading pattern is also a cognitive pattern which can enhance creativity. The Lord taketh away and the Lord giveth.

Oddly enough, many famous writers were dyslexic—, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Agatha Christie, WB Yeats, Gustave Flaubert, ,John Irving, Richard Ford, George Bernard Shaw, and others.

Win some. Lose some.

Oreshnik

I have written a lot about hypersonic missiles and multiple warhead missiles like Oreshnik and Sarmat.

Black Mountain Analysis has produced a detailed and impeccably researched article. The math is right, too! A rarity on line. Not that I can do simple math. (Discalculia)

Oreshnik Against Zelensky's Bunker [i]

It explains why you can run and but not hide.

Take a look!

BMA I love you!

Thanks

Many thanks to coffeebuyers, commenters, and people who send me messages. You make it possible for me to improve. I am working through recent coffeebuyers, replying to each one. Takes a bit of time — but it is enjoyable!
