There’s an article in the NYT about how the Ukrainian public, now furiously anti-Russian, is focusing blame and hatred on the Russian people for having put up with the Putin regime and being concerned only about being able to pay for their lattes at nice places in the malls, instead of fighting for their rights and resisting the war: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/world/europe/ukraine-putin-hate.html

Chief of the General Staff, the other one out there? Hope he’s either drawing up the coup plans or planning a trip down to the front lines in Ukraine to see how things are going. This one is kinda finished.
