  1. Ukraine can respond that they are not answerable to a mythical court.

    (The court that issued the in-absentia sentence is officially sited in Moscow, but the Ukrainian government has revoked the charter that a predecessor Ukrainian government issued several centuries ago, under which Moscow exists. As a matter of Ukrainian law, Moscow does not exist, so nothing real can be situated there.)

    Also, basic physics says that she would not be knocked back by the bag's return swing.  Of course, we are talking about a magical being, so it's possible that the laws of nature don't apply.

    We're also talking about a being with not a lot of experience with basic physics. Quite possibly she was off-balance enough that the bag could legitimately knock her back.

    My feeling is that the world would be a better place if all the leaders had someone who was free to tell them when they are being foolish

    My understanding is that this was the role of the court jester. And that tradition held that when the jester spoke to the king, the jester was immune to any penalty for his words other than possibly being dismissed from that role.

    Of course, not every royal court had a jester. And when the guy whose word is law wants to violate a tradition that only involves one other person...


  4. GAH!

    Bagpipes were in common use at one time or another in a roughly rectangular area with its corners in Ireland, Morocco, Moscow, and Syria.

    There were, unsurprisingly, dozens of varieties.

    WHY do we only ever hear the variety the English (correctly) labeled as weaponry?

    And Vladia, I am certain that the meddling kids will heed your warning and stay away from the investigation. 

    Doesn't matter. These kids are chaos magnets. If they don't get involved in the investigation, the investigation will get (further) involved with them.
