We've always been able to leave the house, but during the shutdowns should not go visiting etc. Just supermarkets, essentials, exercise.
Biden was pretty good during his lengthy talk and following questions. I was impressed (mostly due to low expectations). Looks as though WWIII is on hold as Putin has a green light to invade with only economic attacks rather than military (other than Ukrainian defence which might be a good test run for new USA weaponry and a nasty surprise for Putin).
I do wonder whether it's a trap like Saddam fell into after April Glaspie told him the USA would leave locals to sort things out. Then after he gobbled up Kuwait, they told him they changed their minds. Oooppps a daisy. By then he felt committed and refused to retreat.
George I stopped the Desert Storm attack at the border, leaving Saddam in charge. But George II made up lies about WMD and launched a full scale attack.
Looks like a trap to me.
USA is a bit short on wars just now so the military industrial complex would like a contained conflict for testing and cash flow.
Bear baiting is a bad idea even if the bear seems tied up and cornered. Apart from cruelty, it's dangerous.
One of my great great grandfathers died from Crimean war wounds. Obama, evil Nuland and co nearly got me killed in an Emirates A380 which flew over (insanely I thought at the time), two weeks before the Malaysian airliner was shot down.
Best to concede Crimea to Russia, call a truce in Ukraine and elsewhere around Russia, and form an alliance with Russia.
