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.

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.

> 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.

  Also explains why he had to go big this invasion. There is no march 33 to look forward to.
