Thinking about oligarchs. I don't know if money - or, more accurately, greed? - is the root of all evil, as they say, but it's usually involved. I read that having far more money than you (can ever possibly) need was socially unacceptable in some cultures. They had the right idea.

Today marks the 148th birthday of Mykola Leontovych, a famous Ukrainian composer. His iconic tune, Shchedryk (aka Carol of the Bells), is a symbol of Ukraine’s culture.
Listen to its captivating performance by Cultural Forces.

Those sanctions on Russian oil Trump got public praise for? Never really materialized. No enforcement on Russia’s customers.
As critics warned, the Trump admin pressures Ukraine but never puts real pressure on Russia, especially not if it requires effort.

Precisely on the point. Europe must resolutely fight the imperialist #Putin – without #Trump, but together with #Ukraine. Now!
