South Korea had around 8,000 deaths from COVID since the beginning. They just got 2,000 new deaths in the last month, after relaxing all precautions.
Here in the US, we’re still over 10K deaths a week. That’s before the mask mandates disappear totally.
It must be wild to be Russian and against Putin since the beginning. Witnessing the West embrace him for twenty years, trying to survive in this crazy giant country by doing a lot of work online, and losing it all in ten days after every single western company stopped being active there. Confusion. Anger.
Meanwhile, we’re still importing Russian gas. And while the western media pokes fun at the Russians, it looks like they are moving fast and steady.
Europe. It’s lost the UK and now France and Germany are as awkward as ever while Germany is boosting its defense by the most ever since WWII. The rest of Europe has barely any power over European decisions, and it shows. But they know how hard it was to get into the EU –Greece remembers- and now they get to witness Ukraine, Moldavia and Bulgaria get on the VIP list, maybe about to get into the EU through a fast lane. Confusion. Anger.
It’s hot.
