Deja Vu All Over Again 0
I think John Cole is on to something:
He is quite correct, but the analogy hardly casts a pleasant light on the reign of George the Worst and on those who readily deferred to his aggressions, now, does it?
These two links help cast some light on what’s going on in Ukraine: Line one and link two.
Aside:
In the part of Delaware where I used to live, there were many Americans of Ukrainian descent. The pastor of the local Ukrainian Orthodox Church–where they had the best pirogies in the world at their bazaar and we attended a service once at which First Son’s girlfriend fainted (the usher came to us quietly and said, “Your daughter’s fainted” only she wasn’t our daughter who was standing next to me) and everyone was very nice, but that’s another story–lived three doors up the street (and he was a heck of a nice fellow).
This gives me no particular insight. It’s just a thing.
