Some very initial thoughts on lessons learned so far from Ukraine. 1. You can’t divorce a military and its campaign opening from the political context it existed in pre war. Analysis has to include this aspect, it’s not a nice-to-have. This means multidisciplinary approach…

On this day in the year 73, the Jewish mountaintop fortress of Masada falls to the Roman army after a protracted siege. More than 900 of the defenders take their own lives rather than surrender to the emperor's legion.

It may not be headline news in the racing papers but Dr.Adrian McGoldrick & his medical team quite literally saved the life of a man in attendance at Cork Racecourse today We are fortunate in racing to have the services of the likes of Adrian and others on a day to day basis 👏🏼

RU & UKR account for a 25% of global wheat exports, with several MENA & SAHEL countries importing 75% or more of their wheat from RU/UKR. The war has pushed grain prices higher & halted shipping from the Black Sea, via which 90% of Ukraine’s grains are exported. Famine beckons.
