War

 Erm, Russia have invaded the Ukraine. After dicking around on the border for a couple of weeks - Putin like a five year old saying "Look at me! Look at me!" before he goes down the slide and kills a dog - and after all the "Invasion? What invasion? It's just a bit of a get together. Ukraine doesn't mind, do you, guys?" - Russia has invaded Ukraine. There is war in Europe. Fucking war. 

And not just a little war, like one of those clusters of little Eastern European countries bombing each other into broken biscuits, secretly funded by Russia and the US. This is an invasion that Russia is publicly owning. It's showy aggression. It's meant to provoke a response. There's talk of World War Three. 

So the UK have sanctioned some banks, and the price of petrol has gone up. I suppose that's what you expect. 

I wonder what America is going to do? This isn't a man living in a cave they can bomb into hot mince, and feel like Rambo. This is Russia asking them "What exactly are you going to do about it?"

Interesting times. Terrifyingly interesting times.
