   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.”

         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.
