Should I go? Last summer I'd agreed to deliver the toast to Sherlock Holmes at the annual banquet of the Baker Street Irregulars in New York. But as Friday, Jan. 14, approached, the omicron variant was, as they say, raging. Still, I'd been boosted and everyone attending was required to present proof of vaccination. How, then, could I let the team down? Happily, I didn't get sick and tested negative after returning home.

Many Ukrainians appear more concerned about the potential economic fallout of panic over a Russian invasion – including a decline in the value of the national currency and potentially soaring natural gas prices – than any military activity on its own, locals told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) on Tuesday. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and colonized its Crimea region, and is still illegally present there and attempting to legitimize its presence through measures like distributing Russian passports to residents of Ukraine. In the east of the country, pro-Russia “separatists” have waged war on Kyiv since 2014, as well. Russian officials claim to have no ties to the war in eastern Donbas, but the Ukrainian government and other international observers have documented extensive evidence of Russian government support for the war there. Fears of a further Russian invasion into Ukraine escalated last week after President Joe Biden appeared to indicate that America would not … [Read more...] about Ukrainians Shrug Off Biden War Panic: ‘People Are More Worried About Gas Prices’
