    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.
