One can never be too cynical about politics. However bad or corrupt (allegedly) you think a politician or situation is it’ll be worse

At least Trump & wound his neck in about it. Guessing he has an upcoming jail term to occupy the space between his ears

Not sure why you think that pic is cynical. It's an oil painting by Ilya Repin, "The Zaporozhye Cossacks write a letter to the Turkish Sultan", an iconic work for Ukraine, with added Joe Biden.

(Btw you can look up the text of their letter, but only for the broad minded. And it explains why they're all laughing)

For every article about Ukraine struggling on the battlefield there's one about Russia losing its advantage. This piece in the FT is optimistic and hopefully correct.

I'd agree with that, the main thrust seems to be that with the superiority in numbers & industrial resource then it should have been over months ago in Putins favour ergo the Russian army is shite.

At one point the Ukrainian NFU had a larger armoured brigade than Putin

He's right, you know.

Especially approve of a general prohibition on trade with Russia. Enough fannying around with sanctions.
