I'm not much into witchcraft or satanic rituals, but I'd probably be doing that too.

As ruble rebounds, some question impact of sanctions against Russia | PBS NewsHour

Fascinating how the ruble has recovered in foreign exchange rates.

Ukraine regains full control of Kyiv region for first time since Russian invasion: official | The Hill

The Russians may be pulling back to defensive positions as opposed to being driven back by Ukranian forces. Then they could of course shift better trained troops southeast to Mariupol area.

I get a feeling that in a year, we'll have near status quo in this situation, still conflict, not so much in the news because people get bored, and little real movement on the ground.

Russian media is giving their viewers Orwellian coverage of the Ukraine war - CNN

I presume this reportage is reasonably accurate, I find it interesting.

I find that really funny coming from CNN

Maybe, but I can see how Russians are getting fed news that is by our way of thinking untrue and misleading so they view protesters as traitors to their brave soldiers fighting Nazis.

The map ain't changing much any more, and probably won't.

I think any probable future is really bad for Ukraine, but this may be least bad among them.

Of course, it is possible, though not probable, that Putin leaves office and his successor calls a halt and withdraws for real.

I wonder how much planting is going to happen in Ukraine this season. I figure the western parts can get planted if they have fuel.

It's really a surprise a country with such natural resources could be so poor. Well, not really.

Rising food prices are unfortunately a precursor to more worrisome food shortages marching our way.

For first world citizens it’s likely a matter of scaling back food purchases and cutting deeper in already strained household budgets.

But for 4 specific areas of the less developed world where famines are continually staved off year after year, and much of what little grain they get comes from Ukraine and Russian surpluses, chances are the bottom could fall out and millions will die of starvation: Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan + Northern Ethiopia.

Not to sound to callous, but with so much of the world’s population living on such thin margins WHILE continuing to increase, it’s only a matter of time before mass starvation was due to set in, especially in hotter, arid areas where population increase was never suited for it’s harsh environment. And I think we’re partly seeing a consequence of the world hitting its limits of population sustainability as it’s happening in the most unstable and impoverished regions.

Populations aren't increasing in most of the developed Western world. Fertility rates are declining and holding emigration steady, so are populations.

These are problems facing parts of Asia and Africa, but it's not a world problem and, not to sound callous, should not be addressed as one.
