We probably all need to stop in silence and remember two wonderful minds. That of PJ O'Rourke and Molly Ivens. Sad losses and they leave an awkward sad silence. Norah Ephron is another.

As to Zelensky and appeasement, I'm under the distinct impression that Ukraine has not met many of the standard evaluations to become a member though. I would certainly admit that Turkey doesn't much qualify at all but it does have a bunch of missile silos.

I just don't think that dismissing a unified Europe on the one hand as appeasers and then wanting immediate inclusion in NATO flow well together. I can certainly understand his desire to not get bashed. My impression is that NATO has not stood as cohesively in over fifty years and That Biden in fact has done as well as he can do without putting troops in Ukraine. The sanctions need to happen.

No arguments about JD Vance either. As AOC might say "Pendejo Basura. "

You're allowed to call Vance an asshole in English here. Saves me a trip to the Google machine.

I grew up speaking Spanish and English. I think it's better in Spanish.
