I decided to be a paid subscriber because of this article. I'd say it's some of your best work, but so much of your work is excellent that it would probably be overkill.

Viktoriia was a very brave young woman. Even in death, her story exposes what is happening. Also, appreciation to Ambassador Brink.

Thank you for providing regular antidotes of compassion in a world - in our nation! - that so often chooses cruelty over kindness, power over patriotism, greed over generosity. Each of your missives lights a little candle and - as a song I learned long long ago puts it - "If everyone lit just one little candle, what a bright world this would be."

Mr. Nordlinger: Excellent work! I am tempted to think you were holding back a bit towards the end of your time at NR (understandably). I am very glad that you aren't now. I look forward to more in support of Ukraine, both here and, I hope, on The Dispatch.

Well said, as usual. I would not be shocked if Trump announced he was considering offering to sell Patriot air defense sytems to Russia "to help that country defend itself against the unannounced and mercilous attacks by Ukraine". This clueless dolt will see it as a business opportunity.

While Ukraine valiantly fights for its life, we should pray for Mr. Trump-that he should avoid the ravages of venereal disease in time of war.
