There are few news stories related to the war to link to today. The reasons may include massive coverage of U.S. elections, the summit in Egypt on addressing climate change (from which the war is draining resources and attention), and the possibility of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to get talks going to put an end to the carnage. So today’s entry is brief. It begins with links to non-journalistic posts that are biased on one side or the other but don’t pretend, as news organizations do, that they are without bias. — MCM
