Ukraine crisis: Russia-Belarus drills to continue beyond schedule; Johnson says Moscow plans biggest war since 1945 – live | World news | The Guardian
Instead of Russia withdrawing troops from Belarus, as originally scheduled, they will apparently be working on new joint military drills with their Belarusian counterparts.
Nato has estimated that there are 30,000 Russian troops in Belarus.
A week today, the Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, a firm ally in Putin’s Ukraine policy, is due to hold a constitutional referendum, widely dismissed as illegitimate by western countries, that analysts say is meant to pave the way for him to step back from the presidency at some point but retain overall control.

Happy Sunday morning all.
Thank you, Jack. This is a lovely piece. Mozart put all those extra notes to good use on this one.
Just heard Fetterman of PA on NPR.
I like him!
We love Mozart

Unmasked MAGAt encounter at the pharmacy: She looked at me in my mask, then asked the masked cashier if she wasn’t tired of wearing a mask; they don’t work and vaccines don’t work. She was buying cigarettes and said, “They say this sh/+ burns it out of your lungs. The stuff the Chinese gave to us. We shouldn’t have had the Olympics there. If y’all do, y’all must believe in concentration camps.”
Her clothes were dirty and she was scraping change to buy cigarettes.
The cashier and I had a laugh about Karen MAGAt’s cofeve cure. “Spread the word.”

One at a time, I put that one in drafts because it was a perfect Sunday morning listen for some future date. Maybe next Sunday, maybe not if I run across something I like better.
The way my mind works.
Drafts are just that, still a work in progress.
Pending is a finished ready to publish post. If I have more than one pending then I will try to leave instructions, if I don’t then pick the one you want to go with. If I complain tell me to STFU.
BTW Pat, thank you for all the work you do on this blog.

If she is worried about China’s reeducation camps, then she has some redeeming qualities. Work with those.

We had dinner last night at Texas de Brazil. The mall was packed to the rafters with no parking anywhere near entrances. Everyone was masked (mall rules for entry). For dining, you can remove them once seated. All the servers were masked.
It would seem the folks of WA have decided vaxxed and masked means get back to normal now.

about the current security situation and new provocative shelling. We stand for intensifying the peace process. We support the immediate convening of the TCG and the immediate introduction of a regime of silence.

Sixty years ago today, John Glenn made history
That means it is also the 60th anniversary of the day I met the young man I would marry, annul, marry and divorce.
Finland president just hinted on CNN they would join NATO if Russia invades Ukraine. Wish Sweden would too, that would really spook Putin
The nordic countries should definitely join NATO

Jamie – Beautiful pic! Beautiful dress!
Sturg – I thought that was a pic of my dad’s band for a second.
jack – Lovely selection.
Just finished our 3d day of cleaning out and throwing away the stuff from my uncle’s apartment now that he’s moved to rehab following a couple of seizures. He ain’t going back to independent living. Spent an hour or more with him each day in the dementia zone. One positive thing I’ve noticed and confirmed my observations with one of his sitters is that since he moved and isn’t looping Faux day in and day out he’s much less agitated about, well, everything, and he’s nicer to and more appreciative of people who are helping him.
I did get a gag gift out of the deal that will be going to my Kentucky Republican buddy – a genuine Donald J. Trump glen plaid shirt – made in Bangladesh. MAGA dontchaknow?
Pogo – does the shirt bleed like the old madras prints. Guaranteed to bleed otherwise not genuine.
Another Chinese official just seemed to hamstring Putin: (@AmbLiuXiaoMing) Tweeted:
The sovereignty, independence & territorial integrity of all countries should be respected & safeguarded. This is a basic norm of intl relations that embodies the purposes of #UNCharter. It is also the consistent, principled position of #China. That applies equally to #Ukraine.
China is patient. They play the long game. What do they get out of saying they support the sovereignty of nations 20 years down the road? Is this just to note that Hong Kong is theirs and the world should mind its own beeswax?

“In Amarillo, TX the high temperature Monday will top out in the low 70s, but quickly drop to the mid 30s just one day later.”
Dallas will see 80 tomorrow. Winter returns mid-week.
“Over the next week more than 70% of Americans in the Lower 48 will experience temperatures below the freezing mark. More than 15 million will endure temperatures below zero.”
