It's Like Pro Wrestling - 28 February 2022 - Plague Journal Day 718

Micah 6:8
Daniel 4:30-37
Yes, your life matters.

Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Yesterday's freewrite prompt word was Tame, and today's freewrite prompt word - the final one! - is Owe. Here we go:

There is nothing tame about the war in Ukraine now, and I have a theory about it. (Maybe it's really just a hypothesis.) We may owe this war - at least in part - to a medical treatment. It seems to me that Vladimir Putin is looking a bit swollen these days, and we've heard there are some health issues with which he is currently dealing, and his swollen appearance is like what I've seen in folks being treated with steroids for various maladies.

Mightn't the world be suffering from the suffering of roid rage, as it's been known? How many professional wrestlers snapped and injured themselves or loved ones because of abuse of these substances? Why wouldn't an already fairly paranoid and certainly rabidly ambitious autocrat get unbalanced into launching a war for the Russian Empire - and his historical legacy - upon the waves of just such a roid rage?

I think it's quite possible. What do you think?

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
