Having said that, I have to mention today's cartoon from "The Echidna", a
newsletter I regularly receive in my e-mail. It shows a bunch of
national leaders holding signs saying "We stand for Ukraine". But they
are not standing, they are crawling in front of a very large Trump.

That reminds me of a cartoon in the same publication a week or two
earlier. It showed a pollster gathering opinions from voters. (Australia
has a federal election coming up soon.) The poll question was "Who do
you prefer as Prime Minister? The one who kisses Trump's arse, or the
one who kisses his feet?"
