Fast, cheap, good. They’re going for 1 out of 3.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What’s that?
Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.
I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news
2·14 days agoThat was always projected for 2101, 2011. But things start to get bad from 2050 on.

Depends on the strain, but up to 75% of birds die from it. But once you have one sick chicken, it spreads rapidly to ask others and very often to neighbors a few miles away by wild animals. To keep it from spreading quickly over the entire country, every chicken within a few miles is culled as standard practice if bird flu is found.
The answer to that is giving Ukraine more and more support, weapons and material until Putin changed his tune. Or you play the sniveling coward and start negotiating these earnestly. We all know what path Donnie boy will take.
That means an armed truce at best?
