As I’ve said elsewhere, I understand the urge to vent, to want solutions, to be optimistic, to bemoan the unchangeable past, and simply to post as a measure of support in lieu of better options.

Even so, this is so far over the line as to venture into drinking bleach to cure COVID territory.

Yeah, I know. Everybody has ideas. Here’s mine. Whenever anyone gets an irresistible urge to help out the Ukrainians by telling them your wonderful, incisive, unprecedented, sure-to-work showerthoughts, click on the [Is There a Good Way to Donate to Ukraine?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-good-way-to-donate-to-ukraine/960240/12) thread instead.
