Unfortunately our fixation on qualification-free representative democracy, in which any moron can stand as a candidate and any moron can vote, reliably generates outcomes that are either awful or catastrophic. Between the spineless imbecile Biden (appeaser-in-chief) and the vermin Trump (eager to lick Putin's boots) and Europeans who are so clueless and incapable, Ukraine's supposed "friends" have always been Putin's greatest asset. Our time is over, the time of the tyrants has arrived, and the hundreds of millions of complacent bloated Westerners who think only of cramming more McSlop down their throats and gawping at more TikToks are going to have a nasty shock very, very soon. Sadly, it won't help Ukraine in the slightest.
