New commander in charge of Russian army in Ukraine

Below is an interesting article from the Guardian. It is about the new Russian commander in Ukraine. He is Alexander Dvornikov, who oversaw Russian troops commit war crimes in Syria. He is 60 and learned his trade in the days of the Soviet Union.

It’s interesting that once Germany began to suffer defeats in World War II no matter how often Hitler changed battlefield commanders it became impossible  for Germany to resist the ever-growing world opposition to him.

History has a way of repeating itself.

On this day, April 11, 1963 Pope Pius XXXIII issued Pacem in ferris. It was the first encyclical addressed to all Christians. It described the conditions for world peace.
