Is it an escalation? Yes. It is concerning? Yes. Is it significant? Yes, but not necessarily in the way Vladimir intends/intended. More thoughts later, probably tomorrow, but while it bears (pun intended) watching, it may be more a sign of weakness than of strength. I’m out of pocket today, result of a special liturgy for the Archangel Michael (and all the angels, including my guardian angel to whom I am profusely apologizing for past actions) and other delights including Christmas Carol practice. No, don’t think Vladimir is going to do anything (yet at least) to interrupt plans and the holidays. Keep an eye on it, but much more worried about ongoing sabotage efforts than this.
Getting hit by lightning is not fun! If you would like to help me in my recovery efforts, which include moving once we have medical issues cleared up, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.
