This is good. Let's just fire a missile into some other country given the current state of affairs. Next North Korea will accidentally drop something in Ukraine.

Will Russia's attack on Ukraine help thaw US-Venezuela relations?
The ban on Russian oil exports is causing prices to surge, and leaders are revisiting some awkward friendships.
www.bbc.com
Did people not recently condemn their sham elections and offer to recognise "the other guy" - I forget his name...I remember people were even recognising him as head of state and for diplomatic relations. Do we just cast all that aside because we need their oil?

Oklahoma Democrat ends campaign after insulting girls while drunk at sleepover
Abby Broyles, a candidate for Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District, went to a friend’s house on Feb. 11 and became increasingly aggressive as she continued to drink through the night.

“Last month, I made a mistake I deeply regret,” Broyles said. “As I admitted, I mixed alcohol and a medication I’d never taken before while under the same roof as a group of young women who looked up to me, and for that, I apologize from the bottom of my heart.”
The ole......I accidentally mixed meds with booze excuse!
