Making Nero Proud... Blinken Rocks Out In Kiev As Kharkiv Burns
• Zero HedgeUpdate(1654ET): Antony Blinken decided that at the very moment things are at their most dire point for Ukraine's struggling armed forces in Kharkiv amid the new major Russian cross-border offensive, he would put on a concert featuring himself at a bar in Kiev.
It has resulted in near universal revilement, even among some of Ukraine's staunchest supporters.
Blinken sheds the suit to rock out at Kyiv's Barman Dictat speakeasy bar. But some might not see this as a great look considering the current situation, the number of people dying and fleeing just a short train ride east, as Russia intensifies its offensive against Ukraine. https://t.co/ObP3z0r8yS

Independent journalist Michael Tracey commented:
Not only did Tony Blinken show up at a bar somewhere in Kyiv to play a rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World," State Department planners brought along C-SPAN to film the thing. The song is a pretty accurate distillation of Blinken's halfwit interventionist ideology
And yes it was actually covered on C-SPAN.
Any idea how fucked this looks to a Ukrainian mother or wife with their husbands and sons at the front line? Go home Blinken, you piece of shit. This isn't about you https://t.co/o2dv2AifE4
