"A lot of the reporting [ . . .] suggests Presidents Biden and Zelenskyy have an uphill climb when it comes to sustaining support for Ukraine ¨. . .]. This is fucking insane.
A lot seems to mean some US/European media, I hate to tell you this, but there is very, very little support for NATO/Ukrainian position among UN members, nor among the independent media (even corporate and state media). It's not that the 85% of the world which don't buy the Ukrainian position outright are Putin's dupes, but they are skeptical of both western and Russian propaganda, and their governments tend to take a more nuanced view of the whole mess,
Sometimes countries lose their minds. France in the time of Napoleon. Germany in the time of Hitler. America with that Trump thing. And Russia with Putin.
Those aren't the only examples, but time is tight.
Whether it’s Russia who wants to genocide Ukraine and steal their land or Ukraine refusing to let Russia genocide them and steal their land, both sides have contributed to the polarized partisan tribalism.
LIVE: President Zelenskyy Is At The UN, So That’ll Piss Putin’s American Fanboys Off

Apparently never again means actually again.
Oh. My. God. Zelenskyy's speech. I was crying and holding my breath until he finished. The very best of humanity lives in that man. Slava Ukrainii.

Jesus, Zelenskyy is not fucking around.
I'm gonna guess and hope that Pres. Zelenskyy has a state-of-the-art security team, if not better than that.
Well, well
No wonder Donald was being so OPENLY antisemitic recently
He was copycatting his hero Putin so Putin could hear him

Zelenskyy is supposed to be coming to Toronto later this week. Wonder if he'll stop by Queen's Park...
to be fair, the domestic asslickers' puppet masters will have conniptions of their own.
Damn...I seem to have a rather large lump in my throat watching Zelensky accept the American flag from Nancy Pelosi...
When will Fox News start complaining Zelenskyy isn't wearing a tie?
Very OT ...
Person on event organizing committee: "I think we should" (add more responsibilities and restrictions 3 weeks prior to event)
Me: "OK, who wants to take responsibility for doing those things?"
* crickets *
With ALL of my black little heart I am hoping for and veritably willing triumph followed by PEACE in the great nation of Ukraine in 2024.
That it be for the good of global democracy so mote it be.

I'm sorry, but mother fucking printers. I'm about to go into a meeting, and I can't print out what I need to.
Printers don't even get the privilege of sucking my ass.
OT: We're at the "fire in a whorehouse" level of chaos, to quote one of my Great-Uncles...
