I love giving talks to the retiree crowd. Today, at the Ukrainian talk du jour where I wasn’t the speaker but more of a question answerer, an older woman came up to ask what Russia’s goals in Ukraine are.
“Do they want to take over and rule it themselves?” she asked.
“No,” I said. “They only want to destroy. It’s blind rage and destruction. Violence for its own sake.”
She struggled with it for a bit but then her face lit up.
“So, it’s like our BLM?” she said. “OK, now I get it.”
