I look at the post-fire pictures and see a lot of tree and bushes with vegetation and some even green near hundreds of houses burned to the ground.

Yes. A tree quite often will have only cooked leaves (which regrow) and singed bark in all but the worst fires. Unless it’s dried up through and through or very diseased.

Which is why Smokey The Dopey Bear approach actually helps little, and in dry lands only makes things worse.

While a mild fire uses up fuel, so the next natural or unnatural fire happens in what little trash accumulated since then, and will also be mild.

Things like dry densely growing evergreens, but then they don’t grow densely in arid zones. Such things are bound to happen when big airflow flips, but that’s a horrible mess no matter what.

Of course, on top of the same clowns Australia has Eucalyptus, that is living firebombs. Oh wait, some geniuses in California had those imported long ago. Nevermind.

Under Whose Command, a new platform for command chain analysis in Myanmar, is the culmination of a year–long collaboration between DOT • STUDIO (our agency) and Tony Wilson and Tom Longley at Security Force Monitor (SFM) — an NGO situated at the Human Rights Institute, Columbia Law School.

The project addresses a difficult but critical problem: military command structures are fluid, making it challenging to determine who was in charge at a specific time and location. Meanwhile, identifying perpetrators and commanders has historically been key to pursuing justice, notably since the Nuremberg Trials, where establishing command responsibility played a pivotal role in prosecuting war crimes.
