All this hiring of PR and other companies for work in Ukraine is fascinating, as if the country now increasingly in shambles, death and terror will finally emerge a survivor if not a victor, something we all hope...all, that is, except for Rupe Murdoch's alleged NEWS operations. It would seem and be more seemly were all these new consultants make the heroic efforts of Joe Biden a more prominent part of their efforts. Without Biden's commitment and energetic efforts with UN and other nations, there would have been a lot fewer weapons and other help.
