Depressing polling results reported by The Telegraph today. People in swing states do not support further help for Ukraine. Your assessment may be spot on.

That video of patriarch Kyrill and the tray with glasses is very interesting. I wish we could have seen what happens off camera. He could have changed trays, or not, who knows, but the guys who take the glasses at the end may not have brought them to their lips....Whatever it is, it shows no one missed that index finger pointing at the "right" glass for Kyrill....
