Day 525
Ukrainians today are divided now into those who fight and who actively help the army, those in the rear who try to make ends meet between anxiety attacks, those who live as if nothing has happened, and the people who take bribes, buy up real estate and think about prolonging their political careers.
The above illustrates the lopsidedness we complained about the other day1, the imbalance swell-sounding promises Z makes versus the unremitting dysfunction of state institutions (executive branch, parliament, courts) which are needed to provide the agency he so desperately seeks on the international stage. Otherwise, we’re just another banana republic with an oversized army.
