Day 1240
Yesterday Team Russia droped a aerial guided high explosive bomb on a supermarket in the middle of Dobropillia (population 28,000) killing several, wounding scores.
Donald’s special envoy to Ukraine Keith is in Ukraine for a week. He should def visit the scene of this latest war crime, take notes and report back.
Sigh. Andrew attempts — and fails — to adequately inform readers what’s actually taking place politically in Ukraine.
Let’s dispense with this bullshit and blurt out the horrible truth, again:
Ukraine remains a sham democracy. It is a primitive post-soviet feudal autocracy. Democracy here is not underpinned by elections or coordinated work of institutions, but by popular uprisings. Absent them, even the illusion of democracy would not exist1.
Here, like anywhere else, foreign flaks like Andrew find exciting ways to create an avoirdupois commodity called "content," making outrageous claims to competence and expertise. However, we have no choice but to fall like rain from the sky and point out that the coverage they have been dishing out lately is irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant.
Thugs are running the show!
Which brings me to Trey.
My beloved Ukraine sage is currently stranded somewhere in the Middle East, dutifully parroting Tom Barrack's oh-so-enlightened diplomatic entreaties for "regional restraint" — because nothing says Ukrainian expertise quite like being stuck in a desert somewhere recycling warmed-over talking points about showing moderation.
