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.

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.

To be fair... Winter Olympics don't typically get much attention, this year was an exception and it actually got _more_ attention.
