Luan, Maybe Putin is looking for support from his countrymen before he sends a lot of the off to die. Iow, if he can make it appear that he tried to end the war peacefully but the other side did not want to do that then he can have more support from his people.
I suppose that this is for defense purposes only. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-proposes-30-increase-size-armed-forces-2022-12-21/
What do people make of this? This is very interesting... https://newspunch.com/brazilian-mil...-bolsonaro-declared-real-president-of-brazil/
I hope it is the truth. I know the people felt betrayed by the election results. There was talk of rigging. Luan will know more about this. Maybe he will tell us what this all means.
I believe Kari Lee hasn't given up on challenging the Senate race in Arizona. Has anyone heard an update?
We have had some power disruptions here in the PNW to the power grid. Christmas morning about 14k people in SE Pierce county woke to no electricity in freezing conditions as a result. We also had some of the same shenanigans happen the first week of Dec in this area. This is the same sort of activity that happened recently in NC as well. https://kuow.org/stories/three-electrical-substations-attacked-xmas-morning-in-pierce-county
Yes, her court case was dismissed. I don't know where she goes from here but somehow I doubt that this will be the end of it.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I apologize for disappearing but I needed a mental health break (news) and to focus energies on my family. I am relieved to find you all doing well. We had a good Christmas even with the illness that visited both daughters this year. It was quiet. Carol and I delivered dinner to family members who have come down with Covid again and our elderly parents who's health has taken a turn lately for the worse. Today is my wife's birthday. I am so grateful for her in my life, she has brought me so much happiness over the years. Cheers!
So lovely to get caught up although I am very sorry to hear of the illnesses. Covid is everywhere around here along with other nasty bugs. Sounds like Washington is not exempt either. I will include your family in my Rosary today.
It's unbelievable what is happening in China!! I don''t know quite what to make of it all. Poor, poor people. None of this on the news? None of it at all? Why?
It's good to have you back, Don. I was just thinking about you the other day. But people come and people go. I was wondering.
