    There’s just too many things to support.

    The endless feud over “How hard should we cheer for Ukraine” really required some good news coming from the Ukrainian front. And we’ve run out of Ghosts Of Kiev to cheer for. Absent a Biden Regime willing to cut Zelenskyy billion dollar checks, a Ukrainian defense force that’s running on anything other than mercenaries and unwilling conscripts, or the odd comedy-style Prigozhin march on Moscow, does anyone want to tune in for another edition of “400 people dead, Russia advances 10 meters” headlines?

    Really doesn’t help that Jeff Bezos is firing reporters on the front-lines of the war zone, either.

    I haven’t noticed any anti-Ukraine sentiment and have seen plenty of news and updates on the ongoing situation.

    We’re seeing similar news voids around Gaza, the newest failed efforts at regime change in Iran and Venezuela, and Trump’s clumsy groping of Greenland. The US economy is teetering and everyone’s waiting with baited breath to see if there’s another big market crash, which will curtail all our foreign policy adventures for the foreseeable future.

    So it might just be the vacuum created by an enormous AI sucking sound that you’re noticing.
