Well done the USA. Well done.
So, did anything else happen in the world today, anything else at all?
Millions of Eastern Europeans can turn on the heat tonight for the first time in nearly three weeks, after Russia magnanimously agreed to specific terms in fleecing Ukraine for providing gas.
The Chinese Prime Minister on a tour of Europe has wisely decided to snub France. The excuse is a paltry one, the French deigned to speak to the Dalai Lama, but I'm sure they would have found some other pretext for the snub if necessary.
Black squirrels are reportedly set to oust greys in the UK over the next few years. Quite what this means for the remaining native reds is uncertain.
A study suggests that Ancient Persians used chemical warfare against the Romans. Kebabs, I expect.
Well, that's it.
