Day 1009
American first idiocracy
Lots of stuff flying around this morning.
The big news is Donald named Keith as special envoy to end the war. Recall Lt. General (Ret.) Keith Kellogg and Fred Fleitz authored a plan in April. The Wall Street Journal took a look at it this summer1. I read the first two of paragraphs of the plan. I stopped after my eyes encountered America First leadership in the nut graph.
Uncle Joe wants the US Congress to approve more assistance for Ukraine.
Elon tweets more assistance for Ukraine “is not ok,” but he is just one more unelected windbag. Uncle Joe was elected, US Senators and Congressmen/women were elected. Maybe Elon can run for national public office and vote against the measure. Until then, maybe he can try to convince legislators not to approve additional funding. We look forward to hearing his arguments, if he has any. Parrotting the the death squad next door, whispering in Donald’s ear, chatting up moron Joe, etc. will simply not suffice.
This is what Toretsk, a small city with a population of 30,000 in Donetsk region, looks like these days. Totally wrecked. Uninhabitable. Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka… all look the same — pulverized.
I took the metro this morning. Not many happy faces.
Oh, and I finally got my hands on that excellent interview with Ruslan appearing in Playboy, along with a multi-page spread from Wartime Sketches.
If you want to buy the picture book, too late. Buy the next book, Confessions, instead. But hurry up, because they’re selling like hotcakes.
