This one makes me hope it was an accident. I just don’t see anyone in the future saying “The war in Ukraine really turned around when the art museum caught fire.”
meh. the russians were targeting and looting ukranian art museums, so fair is fair.

I wold argue that sneaking into Russian art museums and *stealing* art is fair. Especially stealing art from Russian oligarchs. But just straight up burning it? Naw, dude. That’s like burning books or voting Democrat: it’s just not something a civilized person does.
I can’t thumbs up on the new blog, so please consider this a thumbs up for Scott.
Agreed.
What is at risk:
