Obviously.
Fittingly.
America will now focus mostly on the potentially world-changing events of the Ukraine conflict.
The potentialy existential events.
"Mostly"
But not exclusively.
There is still that little 'clean-up-in-aisle-five' matter of the Janaury 6th attempt to ruin our historical governance.
Today, one of those blokes who really did bring high-lethality hardware, who really did intend to change our governance tradition, and who really did do it with other such blokes.....well, he plead guilty to all of that.
"A member of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group has become the first to admit to engaging in seditious conspiracy on Jan. 6, 2021, to keep President Biden from taking office.
Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Ala., pleaded guilty in federal court in Washington on Wednesday to helping lead a group that prosecutors say sent two tactically equipped teams into the Capitol and organized a cache of weapons in a hotel just outside the city. He also pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, and he may face the stiffest sentence of any Jan. 6 defendant so far, according to preliminary sentencing guidelines."

Whatever happens in Ukraine.
And we fervently hope it is not unimaginably tragic.
Well, life still goes on here in the relatively safe United States of America.
And one of our 'clean-up' responsibilities is to write the most fulsome expose', most complete history, of the events of Janaury 6th.
And let the chips fall where they may.

Meanwhile, God bless Ukraine. And Ukrainians.
And not Vlad-the-Bad.
