Video of far right mob attacking Office of President of #Ukraine with demands of releasing ex-Right Sector leader, convicted for kidnapping, & another far right activist, charged with killing prominent journalist with car bomb.

Am I correct? There is still no study showing that a vaccinated person cannot spread the virus..
10:50 P.M. Israel lifts travel restrictions, reopens Egypt crossing
Restrictions on Israelis travelling in and out of the country expired on Sunday and will not be renewed, following the Supreme Court decision last week ruling that the regulations were unconstitutional.
The limit of 3,000 entries into Israel per day has therefore been scrapped, while the activity of the Exceptions Committee, which determined which unvaccinated people could leave the country, has also ceased.
The court also authorized on Saturday the reopening of the Taba crossing with Egypt, in accordance with the regulations at Ben-Gurion International Airport.
Kahol Lavan ministers Benny Gantz and Orit Farkash-Hacohen reached an agreement with other ministers to facilitate the reopening in the coming days, allowing tourists to cross into the Sinai.

solving the North Korea problem?
Forgive my ignorance but just what is “The North Kora Problem”?

B mentioned in another post here on MoA that Blinken/the US is asking China to put pressure on North Korea to make it give up its nucleair program.
In the CURRENT (what the situation is say over 12 months/1 or more years is a different story) situation no one wants a solution for the festering problem of “North Korea”. In that regard, North Korea is suffering under the unwillingness of 6 (!!!) countries (US, China, Russia, Japan, North Korea and South Korea) to make any movement in the problem case called “North Korea”. Although none of these 6 countries wants war all of these 6 countries have one or more reasons why these countries also don’t want to lift (all) sanctions against North Korea.
And personally I put the most blame on the US. The US is the one who is – for several reasons – “unwilling” to change the situation that benefit the population of North Korea.
