    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Belarus, or Lukashenko specifically, doing a dance for an audience of one? Can't imagine there's too much Belarusian enthusiasm, especially below "Cabinet" level, for getting stuck in on behalf of Moscow. Edit: odds on a coup?

This sort of guy needs to disappear. Nasty, weak, trash human being. No idea how to get rid...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Someone needs to be gaming that out and putting together a "you're asylum administrators now" package suitable for use by the town clerks and Mounties in, say, Estevan.
