July 11—The confederacy of dunces meeting at Vilnius have proclaimed, with dubious conviction, that someday, somehow, Ukraine will be in NATO. This displeased “Little Caesar” Zelensky, who took to the streets of the city and, speaking at a concert clearly staged on his behalf, castigated the whole Anglosphere as “weak sisters,” for being “indecisive,” for being afraid to throw caution to the winds, get some iron in the spine, and stand up to the Russians. Another Ukrainian official, Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, went further. He explained, in an ABC interview, why the West should not fear escalating toward nuclear war. “Some countries, unfortunately, don’t really understand the current Russia. It’s not the country of Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, Russian ballet, one of the strongest armies in the world. It’s the country [of] terrorists.”
