Ukraine’s Political Strain, Considered Beside Our Councils

Before anyone says it cannot be done, fetch me three horses, a lantern, and the nearest idiot. I read the report asking whether a former defense minister’s revolt means Zelensky’s system is fracturing; I expected a settled account of the breach, but the headline gives me a question instead. Our councils would raise the same question when a senior hand turns against the throne, though a question is not yet a collapse.

I spent the evening comparing that uncertainty with our own council disputes; it cost me a patrol plan, a stew tasting, and one spare.
