There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment, including these two major stories to keep an eye on:
Russia is about to invade Ukraine with 100,000 troops and 1,200 tanks. China is thinking of invading Taiwan in a move sure to be bloodier.

But if you want a break from all that, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has provided a diversion:
In my life, music has been a constant companion–particularly on my travels. On day one of my trip, I’m thrilled to share my first @spotify playlist, inspired by artists from Liverpool and Southeast Asia. Give it a listen–and tell me what you think! https://t.co/YNr29rXioW pic.twitter.com/t3SJtoK6Zv

“Priorities” have been spotted!
This is “giving a master class featuring an acceptance speech for an office I didn’t win” levels of tone deaf. https://t.co/T9qwNnH0H0

Hopefully Putin and Xi don’t turn Blinken’s playlist into an album called “Music to Invade Ukraine and Taiwan By.”
There are still Americans trapped in Afghanistan 🤡 https://t.co/agqgxYecC2

People left stranded in Afghanistan make Blinken’s selection of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” more ironic.
My God, this administration is made up of silly children. @SecBlinken https://t.co/qxlnuPIYCu

Is it possible to even be more out of touch with the world?
