In the meantime, in Nazi-occupied Ukraine

The dramatic developments in Syria have somewhat overshadowed the events in Nazi-occupied Ukraine.  True, nothing truly ‘major’ has happened there, but that in itself is a major development and a case of “no news is good news”. Banderastan: Remember how close we were to a Ukronazi attack just a few months or weeks ago? That attack never materialized. This is, I submit, major news and something which most of us
