    Man, I miss the peaceful world during the last pandemic.

    My pet theory is some world leaders actually got covid brain fog and made stupid decisions after pandemics. E.g. Trump with January 6 (he got covid around late 2020). Maybe Putin got covid brain fog too and thought invading Ukraine was a good idea.

      That’s a very charitable interpretation of reality, it brightened my day a bit, thanks.
