Springing up Quote of the Day ”How much better for Putin if he had waited until 2024. Didn’t he see that the US is sliding down the path to electing a Putin lapdog in 2024. Why bother with Ukraine? He was about to land the big fish.” Dave Winer Musical alternative to the morning’s radio news
I am surprised that you reprint the second sentence of Franklin Foer's peiece on Zelenskiy. When the Nazis invaded France in 1940, de Gaulle was not the national leader, running away. His army and his government had collapsed. He was the army's most junior general, and had been a minister for only two weeks, appointed after the Dunkirk evacuation. He accepted Churchill's invitation to come to Britain, to build from here the multifarious opposition that Zelenskiy now, admirably, leads. JM
