But here in Tokyo, it is almost over, but all of us still wear masks and disinfect our hands etc upon entrance of shops and there is thermometer placed every entrance of building just in case as we believe when we loosen up, things get out of control just like in life and just like in German FKK LOL!
I do think, it is over soon though because virus is not as strong as it once used to be, it is becoming like influenza!

That said, Russia is on the verge of becoming one.
RU is militarily powerful, true. Can they wipe out many people and in turn be wiped out? Yes. So can NK, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, many others. Once you know how to produce nukes, it is a matter of spending to make more of them, and the other part of the equation is delivery to a long distance destination in which case they can threaten anyone with extinction.
But does it all it take? Their economy today is a disaster, their currency is shot, and their technology besides armaments is non existent. If not for nukes, RU by the size of the economy, by per capita GDP, by various metrics of advancement, would be among the lower tier of nations. NK has nukes but many people starve to sleep every night, especially if not in the army. Does the ability to kill many people make NK superior to say, a Bulgaria, even Indonesia? I don't think so.
RU is a Chinese stooge because it is increasingly dependent on China to conduct their affairs. For supplies, for payments, for many other things. That gives China an enormous leverage over Russian affairs. There are even reports RU put off its invasion till the end of the cursed CCympics in China. To me, that makes Ru a stooge of China.

Some links from German media;.

Their excuse? It has still not been finally decided what the new Infection Protection Act should look like. It will not be voted on until Friday the 18th of March in the Bundestag

Run the last two through an online translator if you can't speak / read German.
Long story short: some German federal states are rebelling against lifting the CONvid restrictions. Hospitals are nowhere near max capacity, but the meaningless "cases" narrative is being pumped again.
Germans certainly like their fascist leaders and politicians; 1914,1933, DDR! LOL!
Warning: this is NOT certain yet and will depend on the vote on the 18th of March in the German Fuehrerbunker, ehh, Bundestag, see the quote from an article above. So far it looks like Hessen (Sharks, Oase, Palace etc) is not yet affected, but who knows what they will do. (Hessen is one of the more fanatical CONvid Fascism states when compared to for example Saarland, having previously locked down again in February when other states remained open.).

So key words: imagined, believe, paranoia. Modern Western policy generally does not directly encroach on the sovereignty of powerful nations, just weak or third world nations which is why I think Russia's security concerns are unwarranted, at least regarding western advancement. For powerful nations, the method of battle is through cultural or economic influence.
The incorporation of Russian-bordering nations into NATO was won by western political-economic influence rather than by hostility or aggression. It's like Russia is losing a board game and is now deciding to flip the whole game board over because they can't win by the rules and maintaining decorum.
Southern Muslim security concerns is a whole other matter, more domestic than international as Russia can control its own borders and policies of letting brown people into the country.

Covid 19 has kept me at home and indoors for 2 years now. I've spent much of that time reading world history. The history of Russia is absolutely fascinating. I was never taught anything like that in school. Russia has been attacked and brutalized throughout their history. The Mongols almost wiped them out. However, somehow they prevailed then and on many other occasions. In recent history Napoleon tried and eventually suffered a bruising defeat which saved Europe from him. Same for Hitler who caused the death of about 27 million Russians. One thing that cannot be said about Russia throughout their entire history was that they were anyone's stooge. To be a stooge the country of which you are a stooge must be more powerful than you. If the rest of the world gangs up against Russia today and there is a war then it will be the end of the world.

But look, I consider putin as smart guy in general, but when it comes to this war, it is becoming some kind of personal ball chicken race game LOL like biden sanctioned me, so I sanction Biden, they did this, so we do that kinda level cock fight LOL! In expense of many human lives!
NATO provoked it, putin bought the fight, but it is leading to some egoistic mess of bunch of old guys in both west and russia! I never thought I see this scale of war in europe in 21st century! But this ironically maybe good for monger as the worst economy goes better it is for us mongers!
With that being said, I think moscow may go back to early 90's when stunner young university girls tuting for very low price and I think having US dollars or euro can get us stunner girls for very reasonable price soon as russia going to be very poor country soon!
