Stop trying to get your dad's approval, he's an arsehole.

The Spectator and Unherd are good sources from the UK.

And if leave the Ukraine stuff alone. Many on saidit hate the West and their beliefs about it are driven by that and not facts.

I'm close to my father, this is something to talk about over beers on the patio, not bitterly argue over. He wants to know, but collections of good links aren't really my thing. I find the news disposable, as it always keeps happening.

The scuttlebutt, and this seems to be borne by the reduction in articles, is that we're distancing ourselves from Ukraine because a lot of that aid got pilfered and they're kind of a shitty government themselves.
