The In One Image report by Brendan captures the horror1.
Photographs of death and destruction stay with people much longer than words during war. Unfortunately, there have been (too) many unforgettable images in this one2.
I’m still haunted by the Cyborgs.
Fixed two inner tube punctures this morning and a Presta valve. I think. You never can tell. Usually you learn they haven’t been sufficiently patched up when you are in the middle of nowhere or flying very fast down a steep hill.
Uncle Joe and Z will be roasting together today and tomorrow as they attempt to communicate meaningful decisions in meaningful ways.
The sending strong signals to Putin part of our war ended years ago. We should have been in the punching Putin in the face stage since, er, 2014.
Truth be told, Uncle Joe is not the guy who shut Putin down. The drip drip drip military assistance policy means Team USA is always one step behind.
Meh. Uncle Joe is also not the guy who has kept Kyiv standing. We give ordinary Ukrainians, especially Ukrainian men and women over 50, most of the credit for that.
NATO, at 75, is not vigorous. Neither is Uncle Joe, at 81.
We’ll end today’s post with this video of Modi and Vova yucking it up yesterday outside of Moscow hours after a guided Russian cruise missile smashed into Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital.
The Surgeon: In One Image (The New York Times, July 8, 2024)
You whine about Biden and lambast Trump yet if the election wasn't rigged you would be dancing in strawberry fields everyday. Say the quiet part out loud ... Putin would not attacked if Trump was President
I'm upping my donations to Ukraine after this disgusting war crime by Putin today. It's the only way I have to help Ukraine. I suggest if you are donating, up your donation by a little bit. If you are not donating, please consider doing so. Ukraine needs all the help it can get.
