It's a fucking shitshow over there. However I've become irked with Zelenksy and his missus telling us to accept being ripped off by our government to save his.

It's a proxy war of attrition now and no one will back down.

I don't mind if our govt "rips me off" a bit if it means saving world democracy. It's painful for sure but it feels that it is right that we all do our bit. I also do understand that there are many that do not have the privilege of choice in this country but whatever your personal situation here it surely can't be any worse than living under the Ruskie jackboot.

Perhaps the Russians should be forced to supply cheap gas to the west as part of reparations.
