Proud NAFO fella here. Trolling Mike Lee is too easy. We spend a lot more of our energy donating money and time to volunteer organizations that support Ukrainian troops with off-road vehicles and medical supplies, and with humanitarian aid to Ukrainian civilians. And we fight the more pernicious online propaganda coming from Russian bot farms and stooges. Including former Trump natsec aid Elbridge Colby, who just in the last 24 hours amplified the Lee/Dotcom conversation.

Bulwark fans who care about traditional engaged foreign policy should enjoy being a member of the NAFO pack too.

Unlike still-true Never Trump conservatives, NAFO is a tribe I belong to that actually continues to GROW!

Never underestimate the power of cute dogs connected to a good cause on the Internet (cute cats too!)

So happy to see you here, NAFO fellas! As I recall, the memes were first created spontaneously by Ukrainians as an expression of resistance soon after the Russian invasion. The fella was stolen by Russian soldiers from a zoo in Ukraine, and Ukrainians stole him back. The fella memes took off after that. The St. Javelin memes appeared around the same time, if my memory is correct. The Ukrainians are the most creative fighters on the planet. We must support them with whatever it takes, for as long as it takes. Slava Ukrainii!
