Also, it's almost spring... Although I did wake up to snow on the ground this morning.

Seems like Putin didn't want to piss off Xi by starting a war before/during Xi's "look at how great we are" Olympic Games.

And it'd seem that Putin favors dates like 22.02.2022 for some strange reason.

Russia launched their full-scale invasion of Georgia on 08.08.2008, too.

Dear god, if this all turns out in the end to be the fancy of some Rasputinesque numerologist with the Kremlin's ear...
Also explains why he had to go big this invasion. There is no march 33 to look forward to.

I felt like this year's games disappeared in all the news: pandemic, truckers, Ukraine
To be fair... Winter Olympics don't typically get much attention, this year was an exception and it actually got _more_ attention.
