    The Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus

    We walk on eggshells about offending the Chinese. I think it was man-made. I do believe its release was accidental rather than planned. Careless lab worker most likely.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    The goods he was looking at are all likely locally sourced and controlled. Gas is also likely domestically controlled. Sanctions would have little effect on locally controlled goods. How much American or European imports do they actually do? Those good would be expensive. Likely not a huge...

    Looks like a basketball player is worth as much as an arms dealer to Biden
