WASHINGTON—Officials serving at U.S. diplomatic missions in Geneva and Paris are suspected to have been afflicted with the mysterious neurological ailment known as Havana Syndrome and at least one was evacuated back to the U.S. for treatment, people familiar with the incidents said.

Suspected attacks on U.S. officials serving in the two European cities were reported internally last summer to officials at those posts and eventually to the State Department in Washington. The diplomats joined as many as 200 others who came down with suspected Havana Syndrome while stationed in China, South America, and elsewhere in Europe.

In November, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the administration was “intently focused” on getting to the bottom of these incidents which, he said, had inflicted profound physical and physiological harm since they were first reported by diplomats serving at the U.S. Embassy in Havana more than five years ago.

Dear Customer,

As we enter 2022, we continue to face sustained inflation at an unprecedented rate that we have not seen in nearly 40 years. Rising raw material costs, labor shortages, increased energy rates and shipping costs, and supply chain delays continue to drive prices higher across our portfolio of metalworking and maintenance, repair and operations products. These cost increases vary dramatically by product, ranging from mid-single digit up to double digits for certain product categories. As a result, we are providing you advance notice of a price increase that we will be implementing, effective January 22, 2022.

UPDATED 12:21 PM EST -- Russia Says Talks Have Failed, No Sense in Continuing at this time; Massive Movement of Military Hardware Now Taking Place

Had a military intelligence instructor after the Cold War tell us that the Soviet Union was a paper tiger. Maybe in some regards but not regarding nuclear, I thought. He told us that their tanks were inferior from the standpoint to where they only could go 500 km with an overhaul once more and then they were thru (as Victor Suvorov also said in one of his books). We could bomb the rail lines going into Europe and stop any invasion. While true then and true now, I don't think a major strike will be preceded by ground forces and work their way up.

From what Victor Suvorov has said and Jeff Nyquist has seconded, the Russians probably won't slowly escalate if there is a conflict but start nuclear.
