Thank you, Sam. Fascinating musings as always, and so refreshing to see thought, doubt and self-analysis rather than bombastic opinion. Peace, health, and resolve to you and yours - and the poor old world - as well.

I enjoyed the read, thank you. It's definitely unenviable to have to predict the trajectory of a moving target that has the ability to abruptly turn, considering the situation and actors involved. To the degree that I'm involved in any of it, my Russian fiancee left her middle management position at a Russian weapons manufacturer to join me here in France, faster than we'd planned. The current situation is having an effect on every level in Russia. I almost forgot, Happy New Year to you and yours🎉🥂
