The aid I’m transporting has been supplied by Mira Rubin, president of the San Diego based cultural center House of Ukraine, who I’ve been connected to through Peter. What I imagine was a typical foundation set up to honor the history and culture of Ukraine with evenings of folk dancing and the like, has now become a hub for the transportation of military equipment and humanitarian aid.
Also further magnified: the American far-right with their chants of “PUTIN! PUTIN!,” at CPAC conferences are vile. Aren’t they embarrassed that they chose a former reality TV star from the dregs of Manhattan social life to be their “Strongman”? Putin, with his steely KGB eyes, at least looks the part. Vladimir Putin, so pleased with Tucker Carlson’s coverage of the invasion he’s plastered it all over Russian State television, has begun to parrot Carlson’s “Cancel Culture” talking points.
Tina and I get credentialed at their headquarters so we can move about freely without potential hassle from border patrol and Polish law enforcement. I ask Mike a bit about what it was like here in the first week.
