WASHINGTON, D.C.—As Russia continues to amass forces to invade Ukraine, sources say Ukrainians are feeling down about the whole situation. To help them deal with a very depressing week, White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki recommended Ukrainians just unwind with some kickboxing classes and margaritas to make themselves feel better.

"Listen, I know this is a very sad time," said Psaki. "I want to encourage you to feel those emotions. Then go do some kickboxing, or maybe some hot yoga or pilates, and then drown your sorrows in tequila while at brunch with your girlfriends. Sometimes, that's all you can do!"

That Greek Oracle had nothing on her. Pure blather and drivel.

Probably because it's satire.

I do that all the time with Babylon Bee. Life is truly imitating satire these days.

She should base her recommendations on Mark Zuckerberg’s suggestion that laid off coal miners should “Learn how to code.” If Ukrainians knew how to code, they wouldn’t need to worry about the Russians.

Psaki is not funny. The people in Ukraine are nervous about the situation. Her making jokes about it is reprehensible.
