Growing up with video games was commonplace for many children and teens throughout the 1980s, 90s and beyond. But what if these pixelated worlds weren’t designed to spoil your mind as so many parents would insist on, following Saturday morning cartoons and bottomless bowls of Cap’n Crunch cereal?

What if, instead, video games helped repair those young, developing minds?

Regarding the topic, 33-year-old East Northport resident and licensed clinical social worker, Joe Conlon, and founding partner Mary Hind, a clinical social worker and therapist herself, answer back with their business Virtual Therapy for Kids.

The service they created is built around the most accessible and widely consumable media in the world — video games, where some of the more popular titles include online available juggernauts such as Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox, according to Conlon, who leaps out of his therapist’s chair and into a virtual world where “meeting the clients where they’re at” is paramount, and where playing alongside them holds its own blend of fun and incremental learning, according to him.

Conlon recalls a time before COVID-19 when parents of children with developmental disabilities would be running late only to request a phone session for their child and Conlon would simply refuse to make the appointment.

“I just cannot do it over the phone,” he said.

“It’s so hard to connect with the kids, especially

[when] audio and video wasn’t even a thought.”

Hind offers her own insight, which aligns with her business partner. Hind hails from Babylon, graduated from Hunter’s Silberman School of Social Work in 2019 with a focus on Children and Adolescents and Child Welfare and is a fierce advocate for the mental health of the children she serves.

“Working with a niche population and being virtual, allows me as a therapist, to capitalize on kids having sessions in the comfort of their own space,” said Hind. “This means allowing kids to create a therapeutic environment, with far less pressure than a traditional therapy setting.”

The focus is on engaging with children and adolescents between the ages of 4 and 17 in a way where cognitive behavioral treatment transforms into online gaming therapy — a concept that the young entrepreneur credits to the children that altered his view of what remote learning could become.

It’s hard to believe that as founding members, Conlon and Hind have yet to meet in person, and though they are apart, together they forge a business partnership intended for the betterment of children and the parents that require the help of professionals.

“I’m taking the symbolism in the game and making parallels to life,” Conlon said. “Kids say you’re much more yourself when you’re in these digital worlds.”

He added, “I’m trained to see where the kid has anxiety based on what the parents tell me.

Kids with ADD [attention-deficit disorder] and ADHD [attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder], for example, are overly emotional.” And so they

require interaction with Conlon and Hind, who log on and set goals for their kid clients to complete on a weekly basis within a particular video game title.

In Fortnite, Conlon will instruct his clients to complete a seemingly difficult task, such as building a wall to guard against oncoming attacks from other competing online players.

The response to the goals that the two licensed therapists set have been very positive, according to Conlon, who also said that his clients get excited completing a complex task requiring concentration, and that the parents of these children are overjoyed in sharing with a child’s achievement.

In what seems like an endless pandemic, business partners Conlon and Hind see potential for the growth of their business and for aiding their communities both on and offline where therapy and consultation rates start at $45. Their

website is www.virtualtherapyforkids.com.

Older parents attempt to understand a generation growing into the next evolutionary cycle of the internet, and what that means for the emotional health and well-being of their children can be distressing, according to Conlon.

“How they cope in an ever-changing world where digital avatars and virtual gaming has become the norm, fitting in and navigating tenuous relationships is harder than it has ever been before,” Conlon said.

“Diagnosing kids is what led me to diagnose myself,” he said. “Having ADHD, we’re more likely to keep thinking outside the box.”

“When you’re stuck in the storm, you go and get some bandages, go find a safe spot and go back into battle,” Conlon said, which is perhaps a lesson in gaming and life in general.

Huntington officials weigh the future of Indian Hills

BY RAYMOND JANIS DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Preserve at Indian Hills, a planned retirement community along the Indian Hills golf course in Fort Salonga, is seeking approvals from two Town of Huntington boards.

The Preserve is being spearheaded by Jim Tsunis, managing member of Hauppaugebased development firm The Northwind Group. Applications with the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board must be approved before construction can begin.

“We’re building an extraordinary community on over 150 acres of property,” Tsunis said in a phone interview. “In addition, we’re preserving over 120 acres of the golf course. This is a win-win situation for the residents of Fort Salonga.”

According to Tsunis, 74 townhouse units will be built along with renovation of the clubhouse and construction of a fitness center.

Under Huntington code, a golf course cannot be operated within a residential area without a special use permit from the ZBA. With this approval, The Preserve at Indian Hills can legally function as a golf community.

“Because they are changing the location and the size of the clubhouse in their plans, they are required to come before the zoning board to request a continuation of their use permit to have a golf course on the premises,” ZBA chair Jerry Asher said in a phone interview.

The application has sparked opposition from some Fort Salonga property owners.

The Fort Salonga Property Owners Association is a civic group that formed to resist redevelopment at Indian Hills under the current plan.

“We want to make it clear we are not against development on the golf course,” said FSPOA president John Hayes in a phone interview. “But this plan with 74 homes, plus the expanded golf club, will have a detrimental effect on the community for the short and long terms.”

FSPOA’s objections to the project include its size and scope, proximity to surrounding neighborhoods, the potential for environmental harm and diminishing property values of neighboring homeowners.

“A number of the neighbors got their appraisals and [the existing homes] may, in

effect, lose 10% of their values,” Hayes said.

“The neighborhood is extremely concerned.

We do not understand how they are planning to go ahead with this.”

By keeping the existing golf course intact, Tsunis believes that the project will preserve, rather than disrupt, the natural and historical character of the land and its surrounding area.

“Everyone that lives in the area references Indian Hills Country Club for their location,” he said. “There would be single-family homes twice or three times the size of my townhouses built all over the area if I didn’t preserve the golf course.”

Detractors demand greater initiative by the ZBA in a last-ditch effort to impose greater restrictions on development while the project remains in the planning phase.

However, Asher indicates that the ZBA has a narrow purview over this matter.

“The only [jurisdiction] the zoning board has is whether or not we will grant them a use permit to run a golf course,” Asher said.

“We don’t have jurisdiction over anything else. The Planning Board has jurisdiction over all of the other things.”

The Planning Board will hold its own

public hearing on Feb. 16 without a vote, contrary to recent misreporting that a vote of final approval will be held on that date.

“I’ve read those reports and that’s inaccurate,” said Planning Board chair Paul Ehrlich. “We won’t be making decisions on the 16th. It really is just for the board to hear the comments.”

Andy Rapiejko, a Fort Salonga resident opposing the project, denounces the Planning Board’s decision to hold this hearing without the ZBA first granting the special use permit.

“In many steps, the process isn’t logical,” Rapiejko said. “Why would they have a hearing without a vote? Wouldn’t you want the community to have the information on what the ZBA determines?”

Aware of the importance of its upcoming decision, the ZBA has brought in outside help.

“We are hiring [a consulting firm] called H2M to give us some advice on how we ought to resolve the application before us,” Asher said.

The ZBA is not expected to hold a final vote on the special use application until early April.

The Ward Melville Patriots boys basketball team hosted the Northport Tigers, the League II leader, Feb. 1 in a game that would need more than 32 minutes of regulation to decide.

After Ward Melville was held scoreless in the second quarter, the Patriots outscored the Tigers in the second half. Tommy Ribaudo’s foul shot tied the game 34 all with eight seconds left in regulation when time ran out

forcing overtime.

Tied at 36-36 with 12 seconds left in the four-minute overtime period, Northport senior Owen Zimmerman nailed a triple to take a 39-36 lead for the final score. Senior forward Nick Watts led Northport in scoring with 11, followed by Brendon Carr’s 10 points, and J.J. Ahlstrand netted eight. Tommy Ribaudo topped the scoring chart for the Patriots with 11, and KJ Anderson banked 10.

Both teams have two games remaining before post season play begins Feb 15.

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF SUFFOLK ------------------------------------------------------------------X Index No. 600904/2022 MARJORIE ILLUM, Petitioner, -againstCENTURY MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC., and JOHN DOE and JANE DOE, representing any unknown successors in interest to CENTURY MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC., Respondents.

VERIFIED PETITION ------------------------------------------------------------------X To the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk: The Petition of MARJORIE ILLUM respectfully shows to this Court: 1.

Petitioner MARJORIE ILLUM was at all times hereafter mentioned a resident of the State of New York County of Suffolk, but now resides in Southbury, Connecticut.

2. Respondent, CENTURY MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC. was, at all relevant times herein, upon information and belief, a banking corporation authorized to do business in the State of New York.

3. Respondent, CENTURY MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC. was, upon information and belief, dissolved in 1998.

4. Respondents, JOHN DOE and JANE DOE are named herein as co-respondents to represent any unknown successors in interest to Re s p o n d e n t , C E N T U RY MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC. 5. This action is brought pursuant to Article 19 of the RPAPL, to discharge an open mortgage of record affecting the real property described in the Petition.

6. MARJORIE ILLUM was, at

all times relevant hereto, the owner of premises 235 Bellerose Avenue, East Northport, NY 11731, which property is designated on the Suffolk County Tax Map as Section 85, Block 2, Lot 40.001. Referred to herein as “the Subject Premises”.

7. Petitioner entered into a contract to sell the Subject Premises to Elizabeth A. LaPosta and James Aguirri on November 24, 2020.

8. The title report, run by Intracoastal Abstract, Title number ORT-023090MWS, in connection with said sale revealed an open mortgage with defendant, CENTURY MORTGAGE CO., INC., in the amount of $54,300.00, which mortgage was dated June 30, 1987 and recorded in the office of the Suffolk County Clerk on July 30, 1987 in Liber 13153, Page 267 of Mortgages. A copy of the relevant mortgage page of the title report is annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”.

9. At the closing of title on the sale of the subject premises held on February 4, 2021, Intracoastal Abstract held the sum of $5,000 in order to clear the open mortgage referred to hereinabove.

10. Petitioner re-financed her mortgage with CHAMPION MORTGAGE CO., INC. on June 27, 1996 and with the proceeds from that re-finance, she paid in full the outstanding principal to CENTURY MORTGAGE CO., INC. at that time. See copy of Truth In Lending Disclosure dated June 27, 1996 from said re-finance closing annexed hereto as Exhibit “B”. However, no Satisfaction of Mortgage was ever recorded.

Petitioner has been unable to obtain any paperwork from CHAMPION MORTGAGE CO., INC. as they, too, upon information and belief, are out of business.

11. It was only recently, after she entered into a Contract of Sale to sell the subject premises that Petitioner learned, by virtue of the title search, that the subject mortgage remains open of record.

12. Due to the extensive lapse of time, Petitioner has no records of the final payment of the mortgage.

13. Petitioner retained the services of FasTrax Title

Photo from Town of Brookhaven

Following the blizzard that battered Brookhaven Town this past weekend, Holtsville Hal’s 2022 prognostication was welcome news for many. After awaking from his slumber, Hal brushed the snow aside to emerge from his burrow and did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring for the Town of Brookhaven. The virtual event was livestreamed on the Holtsville Ecology Site’s Facebook page on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2.

According to tradition, if a groundhog sees its shadow on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; if not, spring should arrive early.

“After this weekend’s blizzard, I’m sure we are all looking forward to spring arriving on time and keeping our fingers crossed that our resident weatherman maintains his accuracy,” said Superintendent of Highways Daniel Losquadro.

“Regardless, the Brookhaven Highway Department remains ready to handle whatever else Mother Nature sends our way during these remaining few weeks of winter.”

Above, Town of Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro with Holtsville Hal’s handler, Greg Drossel, revealing Hal’s 2022 prognostication.

LEGALS LEGALS con’t from pg. 81 Clearing, which firm specializes in locating mortgage companies or their successors in order to have mortgage satisfactions executed and recorded. After nearly 4 months of searching, FasTrax informed Petitioner’s counsel that they were unable to obtain a release of the mortgage due to the fact that “The original note holder, Century Mortgage Co., Inc. dissolved in 1998.” A copy of the letter from FasTrax dated May 21, 2021 is annexed hereto as Exhibit “C”.

14. Petitioner is unable to secure a satisfaction of mortgage due to the fact CENTURY MORTGAGE CO., INC. or its successor in interest, cannot be located.

15. No previous application for the relief prayed for herein has been made. An Order to Show Cause is requested for the reason that such an order is authorized and required under Section 1921 of the Real Proper ty Actions and Proceedings Law under which these proceedings are instituted.

WH EREF ORE, Pet it io n er prays for an Order to Show Cause why an Order should not be made by this Court: (a) Directing that service of

Editorial

Shoveling safe

With nearly 2 feet of snow covering the North Shore of Long Island, it’s important to remember that shoveling it can be a strenuous task for both the young and old.

While freshly fallen snow looks pretty, it gets ugly fast when it piles up preventing us from getting to work, school or the supermarket.

In order to get back to our daily tasks, the bottom line is we have to shovel. But shoveling can lead to not only minor aches and pains, but unfortunate situations such as heart attacks or death.

This week alone with the most recent nor’easter, there were three blizzard-related deaths on Long Island — two in Syosset and one in Cutchogue.

According to data analyzed in a 2019 Washington Post story, shoveling during snowstorms is responsible for about 11,500 injuries — 100 of which on average are fatal.

However, Catholic Health Physician Partners cardiologist, Dr. Chong Park, gave his insight on how to prevent heading to the hospital while cleaning up your property.

Park suggested doing a 10-minute warm-up before going outside.

“Light exercise and stretching allow your muscles and joints to loosen,” he said. “Also, avoid eating a heavy meal and consuming alcohol prior to clearing snow.”

Park added, “Should symptoms such as chest pain, chest heaviness, palpitations or shortness of breath occur as you shovel snow, stop immediately and seek medical attention.”

Other tips from Park include: Dress properly: To stay warm when you’re outside, wear several loose layers of clothing. Additionally, don a waterresistant coat and boots along with a knit hat, scarf and gloves. It’s important to keep your gloves as dry as possible while shoveling. Wet gloves won’t keep your hands warm.

Set your pace: You may want to clear the snow as fast as possible, but that’s when injuries occur. Go slow and do it step-by-step. As much as possible, push snow along the ground. Use a smaller snow shovel to avoid lifting a load that is too heavy.

Be sure to take frequent breaks, return inside to warm up and consume plenty of water. It’s also important to clear snow as quickly as possible before it begins to melt and gets too heavy.

Good form: When lifting snow, it’s important to use your legs. Bending at the waist can lead to an injury. Keep your back straight and squat with your knees wide. Avoid tossing snow. Instead, walk it to where you want to dump it.

Avoid falls: Wear boots with slip-resistant soles. Once you have cleared your driveway and walkway, throw down salt or sand to eliminate any remaining ice or snow and enhance traction.

So, please follow our motto, “Snow: Handle with care.”

Letters to the Editor Reckless Government Spending and Over Regulation will Only Worsen the Inflation Crisis

Gov. Kathy Hochul. Photo from Hochul’s office

Spirits lifted

What do you do when you see a large shore bird walking down Main Street in Port Jefferson Village? You call Port Jeff Code enforcement. I expressed my concern that the bird would wander into traffic and cause an a crash or worse be hit by a car. Not sure of their response to such a strange call, I was pleased and grateful to see a patrol car in five minutes. When I arrived on the scene, outside CVS, code officers and another concerned resident had captured the bird and placed it in a box inside the patrol car and were awaiting the DEC. The concern and compassion showed this helpless creature was certainly a bright spot in these dark days.

Arlene Caselli Port Jefferson

Hitch a ride on mass transit

The apple, Gov. Kathy Hochul [D], didn’t fall far from the tree of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D]. Both enjoy the perks of office at “taxpayers’’ expense. Is it really necessary for Hochul to travel from Albany via helicopter or airplane to events in New York City and Long Island? Upon arriving at Penn Station, the governor can transfer to either a NYC Transit Subway or Long Island Rail Road train to reach her final destination. Just like ordinary New Yorkers who travel with a laptop or other communication devices, she can still be working and staying in touch with her office will riding Amtrak, the NYC Transit subway or LIRR. When he was U.S. senator, President Joe Biden [D] was known as Amtrak Joe. He commuted from his Delaware home to the capital via Amtrak on a regular basis for decades. Why can’t Hochul emulate Biden? Forget the helicopter and private airplane trips between Albany and NYC. Set an example for others. Show your support for transit just like Biden and become Amtrak Kathy.

A op-ed by Congressman Lee Zeldin Throughout 2021, Long Islanders and Americans all across the United States experienced historic levels of inflation that drove up the costs of everyday items, such as groceries and gasoline, to long-term purchases like houses and cars. In fact, the December 2021 Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed that inflation had grown at 7 percent over the past 12 months. That is the largest inflation spike in four decades.

Inflation affects everyone. It can cause families trying to make ends meet to skip going out for pizza or to the movies because of the cost of filling up their car with gas or buying a week’s worth of groceries. Inflation makes it difficult for young people who want to upgrade from renting to purchase their first home. It certainly places even more of a burden on small businesses still struggling from the effects of overly restrictive COVID lockdown policies and mandates because now the prices of everything they need to operate on a day-to-day basis are on the rise.

The numbers bear this out. It is estimated that in 2021 inflation had the effect of wiping out two biweekly paychecks for the average American worker and added $3,500 to the expenses of the average family.

The same study showed low income families were hit the hardest and needed to increase their spending in 2021 by a minimum of 7 percent to achieve the same purchasing power as the previous year.

Several months ago, I asked my constituents to describe the impact inflation and increased prices of everyday goods were having on their lives. Their specific answers varied, but there was a shared theme of frustration with the Biden Administration’s approach to this crisis.

Lynne from Mattituck expressed concern about the rising costs of groceries, home heating oil and gasoline. She expects that she will pay as much as $1,250 more for home heating oil than she did last winter and already pays about $75 to fill up her car with gas.

Lynne was understandably fed up with President Biden’s nonsensical approach to domestic oil production

and American energy independence.

She asked, “How the heck do you shut down oil production in the country based on fear of pollution and then beg OPEC for oil? Their oil doesn’t pollute?”

The price of gas has forced Steven from Port Jefferson Station to take steps to monitor the number of miles he’s driving so he can make less frequent trips to fill up at the gas station. He also shared his frustrations with the Biden Administration’s lack of attention to an issue that is making Americans’ lives so much harder.

“To be honest, I never dreamed it would get like this. There is no attention to Americans coming from the White House. There’s a certain selfishness and self-absorbedness I have never seen before,” he said. It is easy to see why Steven and many other Americans feel this way when they see White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain publicly endorsing the idea that inflation is a “high class” problem.

From the time President Biden took office and brought one-party rule to Washington, Democrats’ agenda has been focused on jamming through massive spending increases, job killing regulations, suffocating mandates, and crippling tax hikes on businesses and individuals.

These reckless policies will do nothing to slow down inflation or tackle the supply chain crisis our nation is also facing. Throughout the President’s first year in office, his Administration has turned a blind eye to this reality and made this crisis far worse with the out of touch policies it has pursued.

The best way to tackle this inflation crisis and ease the burden of skyrocketing costs of everyday goods for hardworking Americans is to remove unnecessary regulations on small businesses, confront the supply chain crisis head on, encourage and incentivize people to rejoin the workforce, and ease the tax and cost of living burdens on American families.

I will continue to promote the policies that will help ease the inflation burden that is bringing unwanted challenges to the ability for families to provide for themselves, and I will keep pushing back on the proposals for more out-of-control spending that our nation cannot afford and that will only fan the flames of inflation.

Opinion Headlines we’re unlikely to see any time soon

W

e are stuck in a headline and news cycle rut. Please find below some fantasy headlines, and the sources or unlikeliest of sources, for those news flashes.

— “Kardashian women decide not to show any more skin” - People Magazine.

In the interests of encouraging people to dress appropriately for winter weather and to draw attention to their ideas rather than their bodies, the Kardashians decide that revealing less of their overD. None exposed bodies will aid of the above society.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF — “President Biden had a great day” - The New York Post. Granted, President Biden hasn’t exactly created a stellar track record in his first year in office - the withdrawal from Afghanistan

clearly could have gone better - but the The New York Post seems intent on providing a steady stream of stories excoriating him for everything.

— “Former President Trump tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth” - The Washington Post. Fond of fact checking the former president, the Washington Post would certainly attract attention with a fact check that suggests the former leader of the free world was being honest.

— “Senator McConnell itching to approve Biden’s Supreme Court pick” - The New York Times. Using unnamed sources, of course, the Times could break one of the biggest stories of the decade if McConnell somehow signaled that he was eager to give a liberal Supreme Court nominee the benefit of the doubt and his full support.

— “Giants and Jets get A’s for effort” - New York Daily News. It seems obvious and easy to pick on losing sports teams, particularly those that haven’t delivered for rabid fans for years.

Hometown papers could recognize the effort, even if the results aren’t there.

— “We don’t really know, but look out your window” - the Weather Channel. I give weather.com credit for calling last weekend’s nor’easter well. About five days before a single flake fell, they knew that a big storm had the potential to form and dump tons of snow in the area. They were right. Then again, all of that technology doesn’t always play out scenarios accurately. It’d be funny and fitting if they said on the air, “big storm could be coming our way. Or not.”

— “Inflation totally under control” CNBC. Despite evidence to the contrary at the gas pump, in the supermarket and just about anywhere people have to pay for goods or services, wouldn’t it be great if inflation somehow, magically, came under control, giving the Fed the chance to stay on the sidelines for an economy still recovering from the pandemic?

— “Fauci appreciates the respect and support of Senator Rand Paul” — Reuters.

Okay, so, this may be among the least likely of the headlines, but, wouldn’t it be nice/

shocking if the two doctors somehow were on the same page?

— “Spirit of bipartisanship sweeps through Washington” - Politico. Yeah, sure, we can dream. Dems and Repubs aren’t seeing eye to eye on anything. In fact, they seem to be energizing their bases by attacking the other side. Still, the day such a report came out would indeed be a chance to celebrate.

— “Children rediscover books” Apple News Spotlight. Disenchanted with electronics, children around the world left social media for a day and enjoyed interacting with characters like Horton, Mr. Tumnus, Meg Murry, Alec Ramsey and Emma Woodhouse.

— “Hero scientists behind life saving vaccines” - Fox News. Despite some members of conservative media taking vaccines to protect themselves and their families, they and their guests sometimes praise those who resist vaccines and question the legitimacy of the vaccines for others.

Russia – in and out and back in our daily lives

H

ere comes Russia again. I am of the generation of children that took refuge from an imaginary atomic bomb attack from Russia by pulling our coats over our heads and crouching under our desks. We grew up with the Cold War always threatening Soviet aggression on both foreign and domestic soils. Were there Communist cells, funded by Russia, hidden among us that could erupt at any time?

McCarthy whipped the nation to a fever pitch.

Between you and me The United States and the Soviet Union raced

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF each other to influence governments and people, ideologically and financially, all over the globe.

I still remember the relief I felt, going to the old Metropolitan Opera House in 1959, to view a performance by members of the Bolshoi

Ballet, who came to America bringing not only the most breathtaking dancers but also tangible evidence of detente. And then the Berlin Wall came down. I was there. At least I was there in 1989, six weeks before they broke through to West Berlin. I walked No Man’s Land, the barren stretch between East and West Berlin, with cameras trained on anyone who would start the crossing between those two universes, seeking permission from the guards to go behind the Iron Curtain.

I was in the Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. in 1991 with a small group of journalists, being feted with caviar and blinis, when word came that the Soviet Union had crumbled, and then the embassy personnel cried. “The end of a dream,” they sobbed. The end of a nightmare, I thought, as they led us to the exits and fell upon the sumptuous food we left behind. Mikhail Gorbachev won the Nobel Prize, the Russian people were real, not just the Evil Empire, and co-existence was finally possible. In a couple of years our attention turned to jihadists.

Now Russia is dramatically back in our lives. The Russia that for centuries had sought

warm water ports and had ruled Crimea for 134 years until 1917. The Russia that again annexed Crimea, a part of Ukraine since 1954 and of an independent Ukraine since 1991, with armed intervention in 2014. The Russia that has now lined up reputedly over 100,000 troops on three sides of the Ukraine border, and with aggressive leadership is making demands.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is insisting that Ukraine not be allowed to join NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization initially formed after WWII as a protection against potential Soviet aggression, that has grown as more Eastern European countries have joined. Putin insists it is a security issue to have bordering Ukraine a NATO member. He also wants military exercises in nearby NATO states to cease and for offensive weapons to be removed from those NATO countries.

So where do we come into the picture?

“It seems to me that the United States does not care that much about Ukrainian security— maybe they think about it somewhere in the background,” Putin said in his news conference. “But their main task is to restrict

the development of Russia.”

By “development,” the concern is that Putin wishes to restore the former Soviet empire and that, after Crimea, Ukraine would be the next step. Students of history will remember the lessons of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia and the “spheres of influence” imposed by the Yalta Conference (in ironically Crimea).

Meanwhile, Putin, with his soldiers and weapons at the ready, is accusing the U.S. of threatening Russia. White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, likened Putin’s comments to “when the fox is screaming from the top of the henhouse that he’s scared of the chickens.”

Now, as of yesterday, the decision has been made to send several thousand troops to Poland, Germany and Romania. Presumably they are meant to show support for NATO and for the principle that countries may decide which alliances they will enter.

Meanwhile everyone concerned, including Putin, has embraced the idea of diplomacy as a path to a Ukrainian solution. For the moment, at least, the spotlight has moved away from constant COVID.
