Springs blooming at Starbucks.

A new season calls for new discoveries,

like our iced Ube-Vinilla Machilate.

Smooth, creamy and nutty, balanced with notes of vanilla.

It's a treat for the ice too,

with vibrant lilac hues to brighten your spring mood.

Hot or iced, there are so many ways to love this stunning serve.

Uber Vanilla, pouring now at Starbucks.

Subject to availability while stocks last. They say that war is hell, and it is hell, but most people have never been there.

They haven't seen war.

That's a good thing, and we want to keep it that way.

But now that we're seeing what's happening in Ukraine so vividly, thanks to social

media, which I basically don't like, but it's providing a real service. What's happening right

now over there is an atrocity. It's brutal.

The only reaction really is to hate war when you see something like this.

So many people, even our policymakers, they think war is clean and precise.

It is messy.

It is ugly.

Innocent people die.

That's why you want to fight a war as the last possible resort.

This was a war of choice for Vladimir Putin. And again, thanks to social media, we are seeing

things almost in real time that we would not have seen without it.
