The Ukraine ambassador was all of us today. JFC! Make the bully shut the F up!

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Ukrainian Mayor killed on the frontline. "I asked his wife how she sees the end of the war. In short, her answer is: keep fighting. The Russians must be stopped. She says that Ukraine not only protects Ukraine, but also Europe." That includes non-EU 🇬🇧 👀

There was a moment when the uniform went from a symbol of pride to one of shame. For those who suffered, it took too long for that transition to take place. Assume the suffering, because by the time we see it, it will be too late for corrective justice. Photo taken of a private gallery in The Hague.
