Ukraine is no doubt kicking itself now for giving up those weapons. At the time it made sense.

This week I was talking to a cousin I haven't heard from in ages and she quoted a line from Lehrer's "National Brotherhood Week" about "be nice to people who are inferior to you" but she might have made a better reference with "Son Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)". That feels like a result of the Trump/Putin pact.
