As the West watches on, seemingly impotent, Russia grows ever bolder, like a bully who realizes the teacher isn’t coming. Despite having the resources to end this war on Ukraine’s terms, the West clearly lacks the will to win. But the West is wedded to its too-little-too-late approach, justified by the risk of provoking nuclear escalation from Russia. Nor has the West managed to cut off the sources of Russia’s economic might, despite rounds of sanctions. The economy is growing healthily, and the assets of Russian oligarchs remain safe in the West, even if frozen.

At first it was hardI will admit, as a young child, the first few summers at camp weren't easy. I never had to worry about being judged by my camp friends and was able to grow in many ways, slowly becoming more confident, more curious, and more spirited. Summer camp molded me into the girl I was and the woman I've become — independent, curious, and always searching for the next adventure.

Tucking your sweater or blouse all the way around might make your look appear chunky. There's a right way and wrong way to tuck, according to stylists. "Most people will tuck a top in all around, which creates bulk in weird places. For sweaters, use a skinny belt worn high up and pull the sweater over to create the illusion of a tuck," said Del Russo. And for a blouse or thinner top, Del Russo told BI, you should pull most of the shirt's fabric toward the back and tuck that into your pants or skirt.
