This is a problem.

Most people are not insensible to the plight of Ukrainians who had Russians appear in their country and are being hauled up to the front lines to fight them off.

But when you see videos of people in malls, dressed nicely, walking around on the streets, going into nightclubs and restaurants as if there were nothing going on, and we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars WE HAVE TO BORROW against the futures of our children and grandchildren, it is natural for people do resent it, and deeply.

Personally, when this scumbag Zelenskiy lectures us on how much cash we should be giving him, and what we should be doing on climate change (which in his view is not nearly enough) It makes people like me harden our hearts to the whole situation.

I detest the Russian oligarchs in charge of that country. But I despise the Ukrainian oligarchs just as equally, with the exception of accepting that the Russians should have stayed on their side of that stinking border.

Even during war, there will be areas where life is fairly normal, clubs will be open, entertainers entertaining, birthday parties, restaurants, and shopping, dry cleaners, and ice cream shops open.
