Ukraine

This Ukrainian fiasco is getting weirder by the minute. First it is not as interesting (in the media) as it was at the beginning. When it started every tv company ran to send its correspondent to the scene for live reporting. Everybody was very quick to point to Russia, the big bad wolf, and paint Zelensky as the poor suffering president.

But it is wearing out. Maybe it is still frontline news among the Ukrainian communities, but it is certainly not in the mainline media. Their government's constant asking, no demanding more and more weapons is getting on everybody's nerves. As I read on the internet even Biden told Mr. Z at one of his "demanding" phone calls that maybe he should show some gratitude for all the help he was getting.

Since 2021 US committed to Ukraine $18.2 billion in help. For what? That money could have gone far at home in today's economy. We also have people who could use such assistance instead of giving it to a foreign, antisemitic country. The fallout of this are the refugees. Ukrainian refugees in the neighboring countries are fast wearing out their welcomes. Initial sympathy is now turning into anger because of their demanding attitude.

They do not graciously accept help given to them. They criticize it and demand better and more. That is not the way refugees should behave. I know, I was one, too.  

Earlier I already expressed my feelings towards the Ukrainian people and even though Mr. Z is Jewish he is foremost Ukrainian. Naturally he will deny any involvement about the "misdirected" missile that landed in Poland and also the one that flew over Hungary and landed in (I think) Serbia. Plausible deniability is the backbone of every politician, and Mr. Z is not different. I do believe the Ukrainians are capable of such acts in order to whip up international sympathy. If the world is stupid enough to believe this, fine. Then bear the consequences.

One more thing, it is getting boring to see him in his designer t-shirts every day. Reminds me of Fidel Castro who wore his jungle uniform long after he won.
