When Kaliningrad is mentioned, I can't help remembering Köningsberg, where Kant summed up the premises of traditional philosophy and wrote his Prolegomena.

That brings up General Patton's remards, "We fought the wrong enemy" and "We have just destroyed the most advanced civilization on Earth." He died under suspicious circumstances shortly after saying these.

Now, whether Patton was right or not, it doesn't matter.

What matters is the mess left behind.
