You may have had some concerns about gathering tensions on the Russian frontier. (There’s much I could say about what it all means, and about our decades of folly regarding Russia, but I’ll leave that for another time.)
Well, I’m happy to say you can put your mind at ease, and get on with your life. Why? Because we’ve sent our top negotiator — quite possibly the wisest master of international affairs since Metternich — to sort things out.
I refer, of course, to the incomparable Kamala Harris, whose very presence in the room is certain, given her somber dignity, labyrinthine scholarship, and all-around gravitas, to hush and chasten these squabbling parties, and to bring them immediately to their senses. (George Washington is said to have had the same charismatic effect, but such people are rare, and we are lucky indeed that, in these parlous times, a merciful Providence has given us Ms. Harris to stand at the helm of our nation’s foreign policy, and to represent our interests abroad.)
NPR reassures us that things are well in hand:
“The vice president’s schedule is going to be very intense, and it will include a series of high-stakes, high-level diplomatic talks,” a senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday evening.
Yes, the stakes are high. Thank God we’re sending our best. Learn more here.

From where ever he is, Neville Chamberlain will be relieved.
Maybe Kamala will pacify Putin the same way she pacified Willie Brown.
Shouldn’t that be “mistress of international affairs”?

And the US ships in the Black Sea appear far, far worse.
The Biden Administration is, attempting to, play us.
All Ukraine is is a money pit. Kinda like … well Washington DC is a money pit.
This is so sad what we’ve come to.

Kamala spoke her jibberish and Vlad was not swayed. Funny that. A pointless brown skinned girl and a lefty vegetable as her boss. China is smiling, Vlad is hungry and Canadian democracy folds. All the conspirators foreign and domestic who brought us this duo of ‘nothing and next to nothing’ bear all the blame for a world on fire.
Kamaloupe suckseeds as only she can:
