Today's Explainer

When telling us about the Ukrainians taking Mr Medvedchuk into custody, spokesman Serhii Leschenho hits on a basic Daddy State technique.

ie: They ignore the event itself, and attack the reporting. They first dispute the veracity of the people telling the story, and then, after they put up many false versions of the video / pix / etc, they point at those false versions and claim there's just too darned many disparate stories, and gosh, we'll never be able to sort it all out, so - yeah - oh look - Hunter Biden's laptop!

There is no honor in the way authoritarians operate.
