    After the war, I'd certainly like Ukraine to reconstitute some of its navy, particularly submarines.. Germany builds a nice, stealthy boat...

    So do we.

    On Thursday I played golf with a guy who puts the stealth goop coating on the Virginia-class boats that they build just down the street from here.

    These boats are not easy to find.

      Doubt they could afford one and I suspect we ain't letting anybody have a nuclear sub.

                I was going to ask 'so, who's going to find negative stuff to post about her qualifications?', but I thought it was overly snarky.

                I was only joking

                      Low risk, high visibility. Ultimately rather silly. I doubt Ukrainian troops will be much impressed that he sent his wife.

                        About as useful as Canada sending the Dauphin- which I understand is underway at the moment. Better to have sent just Chrystia and/or Anita.

                          Keeps the war on the front page, here and elsewhere, which is a good thing.

                              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
