On Valentine’s Day, February 14, in below-freezing temperatures and under grey and white skies, supporters of jailed anti-corruption leader Alexei Navalny left their homes armed with candles and flashlights and gathered across dozens of Russian cities at 8:00 p.m. This wasn’t an angry mob wielding bludgeons and torches.

Salvadorean President Nayib Bukele was busy last year. In February last year, barely a year after taking office, he marched soldiers into the congressional chambers to intimidate the ostensibly obstreperous legislature. He stopped shy of a coup apparently because God told him to stand down.
A month later, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he sealed borders and ordered a severe lockdown, shunting about 16,000 violators into insalubrious quarantine camps.
The detentions generated 1,600 human rights complaints and more COVID-19.
When the constitutional bench of the Salvadorean Supreme Court demurred, he defied it too, three times.
WHITE HOUSE – The president of the United States, always accompanied by a military aide carrying a satchel containing nuclear launch codes, has sole authority to order nuclear warfare or respond in kind to such an enemy attack.
