Residents of Cheyenne were reading today about a rumored, and totally false, revival of the fortunes of Czar Nicolas II. The Czar, they read, was crowned Czar. . . again. . . . in Siberia.
Not so much.
Russia was descending into complete chaos however. That was real enough.
And so was Villa's revival right on the border with Texas. His troops had in fact taken Ojinaga.
Having gone from desperate in March 2015, to pursued the rest of 2015 and 2016, he was back in top form and contesting for control of northern Mexico, to American consternation and concern, once again. And now while we had a major war on our hands.
