#1 From my mail bag:

It is no miracle - people fighting for hearth and home are tough resilient fighters.

#2 "Ukraine's president has espoused tolerance for LGBTQ people; he was an entertainer who once pretended to play the piano with his penis."

#4 Ukrainians aren't the new Jews fighting Nazis. They're Europe's Palestinians fighting a vastly more powerful and ruthless neighbor. Donbas is like the West Bank. Zelensky is like Arafat, except he can play Chopin with his dick

Palestine's backers think they have the moral high ground and cheer every time those nefarious Israelis get killed by a Pal warrior. But the result will be the same: a frozen conflict and an endless financial drain on the West

#5 They're Europe's Palestinians

Or they’re literally the Cossacks that for centuries guarded Russia’s western frontier in exchange for self-rule. And now 100,000 of their women, children, and elderly are reported exiled to Siberia and points north, according to one of badanov’s translations today. Do you think they’ll be inclined to stay where Russia put them?

#6 an endless financial drain on the West

..nothing compared to the financial drain of an endless and ever expanding entitlement system they're already saddled with.

#7 #2 an entertainer who once pretended to play the piano with his penis

As opposed to an organist who pretends to play his country like a fiddle?

#8 And while I've never been a huge fan of Errol Flynn, there're worse entertainers for a two-bit Ukrainian comedian to be compared to. Couldn't stand the guy... but y'all have just about turned me around. Keep up the good work!
