🚨🎄Christmas Morning Air-Raid
A calendar of nihilism
🚨LVIV–The past hour, Russia has been brutally pounding Kharkiv and Dnipro as the bells ring out for Christmas Day. And it’s not over yet. All of Ukraine, the largest country in Europe, is under air-raid alarm.
As Russian rockets and Islamist Iranian drones make their Christmas danse macabre around civilised, free Ukraine, I realise this: For civilised people, for broken but honest people, for imperfect but willing-to-be better people, today is Christmas Day.
For Russians, today is simply another day closer to the hell that they, the school-shooter of nations, so desperately desire, along with their pigs-in-shit cohort from Hamas, Tehran, North Korea, Beijing--and many other sneaky friends in the West.
We’ll have another newsletter this afternoon New York time, with a broadcast about Christmas traditions in Ukraine. But here you can listen to a conversation with my friend Max from Kharkiv—a wise voice about life in war.
You can follow our daily broadcast on our YouTube and Spotify channels.
Please forward to friends!

Plus, hear how Ukrainian culture shines through in a remarkable musical collaboration featuring Sting and the Bandura.
