Wordle 55


 Line 1: I always open with yesterday's answer.

Line 2: Normally I will use my clues, which in this case means that I would use the letter E.  In this case, I decided to knock-out two more vowels and three consonants.  All I really accomplished was the elimination of some letters, but I picked up the R.

Line 3:  I used the clues and found the I, as well as two more places where the E and R shouldn't go.

Line 4: Found all the locations for the letters I had so far.

Line 5: This could have been BRINE or PRICE so I went with the first one because PRICE seemed too common of a word.

Ukraine's Choices

 1.  Surrender immediately: Civilian casualties will be minimized, but their country would likely be broken-up and the remainder turned into a satellite of Russia.

2. Dig-in and fight.  Make it costly for the Russians to take the country, but use this war of attrition as a means of getting to the bargaining table.  Pros:  Likely a better political outcome than option # 1, but there will be a cost of death, injury and destruction.  The danger of this approach is that they give Russia too much of a black eye and back Putin into demanding unconditional surrender.

3. Fight to the bloody end.  Refuse to negotiate.  Pros:  They could end up with a better outcome than option # 2.  Cons:  They could end-up with a much worse political outcome than option #1 and suffer horrendous levels of death, injury and damage.
