With almost all votes counted, Latvians have given a rare landslide to the United List of Andris Kulbergs. Of most interest to international followers: Kulbergs is very pro-Ukraine, NATO, Europe. He’s clear Ukraine must win, not just survive, and that Europe must step up to ensure its security.

When Russian soldiers do it, it's "a systemic pattern of sexual violence used as torture" and the UN gets involved. When male college students do it, it's just "20 minutes of action" that university administrators and law enforcement think is probably the victim's fault & certainly not a crime.
