Beau of the Fifth Column: Let's talk about Ukraine political parties and the mirror....

1. YES! This holds a mirror up to all of the militia nonsense.

As much as I like Beau, I tend to keep him at arm's length for various reasons. Yeah, whatever - he really has stepped up in keeping people informed and in providing useful, thought provoking commentary on what's occurring in Ukraine.

He's pretty good at relating those events to what's going on around us here as well.

This installment is quite a moment. If you haven't heard any of his commentaries before now, this one is not to be missed. Most of his stuff runs under 7 minutes and this one is 11 and a half, so that's a big clue as to how important he thought it was. Every idiot running the gamut from "Yeehaw!" to "Wolverines!" gets a serious reality check here.

I've seen Beau angry before. I've seen him angry recently. Not like this, though. It's impressive, and important.


eta - if you can't stand the thought of watching an 11 minute video, I get it. Tune in at about 6:30 and give it 30 seconds or so. Please.

2. yup. i just shared it on fb.

my comment-
i like this guy. he's very level headed, and apparently has a following among the wingnuts. he seems to speak the lingo, and can calmly make an argument.
but this one paints a bullseye on the morons in the comments, and damn. it's just glorious.
