In other news, the first ten Humvees have arrived from the US in Ukraine. Here they are:
The symbolic value of the Humvees is so enormous that the President of Ukraine is coming out to greet them in person.
Thank you, Americans!
And for those who scoffed at the idea of non-lethal weaponry, the Humvees are an example of what that means. Kevlar vests, night-vision goggles, that kind of thing. The scoffing potential is minimal yet people still couldn’t help being weird.
What can you tell us about the phenomenon called “fighting hopak“?

Hopak is the absolute bane of my existence. All people (I don’t mean you obviously, I mean regular folks who are ignorant about the world) know about Ukraine is that there are some guys in wide funky-looking pants who dance the hopak. The hopak, of course, is a folk dance that has no relevance to the daily lives of the modern Ukrainians. I never even heard of this battle hopak version before you mentioned it because that’s how relevant it is.
