Don, Vlad and Kim at the end of creation
A heavy limousine pulls up to the driveway at the end of creation. The doors open. Three portly men get out with varying degrees of difficulty. The shortest has black hair and the front profile of an antique kettle. The mean one is pale white and almost bald, like the moon if the moon had a long nose dangling disquietingly low from its face.

The similarities between the Ukraine war and Lord of the Rings are at times uncanny. It's easy to equate characters on the dark side: Sauron, Saruman, Denethor, the Witch-king. Zelensky and his army have the hallmarks of Faramir with his Osgiliath soldiers. We now need the fellowship to get moving.

Extreem-rechtse politici argumenteren dus dat over heel Europa een radicale onderstroom gisteren naar het meest pluralistische spektakel van het jaar heeft zitten kijken, alleen maar om een statement te maken vóór genocide/tegen woke.
