just more proof that the Ukrainian War is a new kind of conflict: War as luxury good. how else do you explain how, in one of what was prior to 2014 one of the poorest and the most corrupt country in Europe (after 2014 it got richer, thanks to certain members of the transnational criminal class who took an interest in putting some big scary wannanazis out in front in order to at once spit in Russia's eye and collect fat checks from supporters for whom nazi iconography makes them squeal with vaguely sexualized terror and empty their retirement accounts), we have Annie Leibowitz of Vogue flying out to style the shoulderless boy wonder & his personalityless wife? are the Ukrainian soldiers being expected to use telepathy to operate janky, counterintuitive US weapons mere scene pieces for this idiot comedian and his string-puller Kolomoisky? it's increasingly looking like it.

fortunately for the NATOads, they've already cloned their dancing bear into a hologram, so when some disgruntled Azov Battalion member takes matters into his own hands, it will be a simple matter of switching allegiance to electro-Zelensky, with his state-in-a-smartphone Diiia and a whole host of other WEF wet dreams (nightmares for you & me). Ukraine is meant to become the shining Smart City on the hill. never mind that millions of users' data has already been hacked, or that the company that programmed the database is Russian & given Zelensky's usual levels of paranoia one would think he would have ordered every last server dumped on some poor civilian in Donetsk. but no, better to fire his childhood friend who ran the SBU than acknowledge for a second that there might be something insecure about putting AN ENTIRE COUNTRY'S SECRET BIOMETRIC FINANCIAL RELATIONAL ETC DATA IN THE FREAKING CLOUD.

sorry about the caps, but the fact that there are still people touting the cloud as the solution to humanity's problems is serious proof that human innovation is in a death spiral.
