Handling Kyiv better than Kabul

I listened to Victoria, so you don’t have to. She’s running for re-election.

Maybe Mariana Bezuhla and Victoria should get together and work out a mutually acceptable solution to allay the concerns of their constituents in Ukraine and Indiana.

They can swap ideas in the process about the concept of “bounded rationality” — namely, if I took out one day a week to think about emotional intelligence in Kyiv and Noblesville, I’d probably understand it better when I drop dead, but I’d be throwing away a seventh of my life before I expire.

So, rationality has costs.

As for Yermak, OPSEC, weapons proliferation, etc, we revoked Ukraine’s security clearance a couple of years ago.¹
