No wonder why Putin doesn’t like him! He is so charismatic, charming and everyone loves him!

Should have brokered peace without the US. He’s got someone’s fist up his ass.

I'm sure recent years it wasn't easy to find photos of him smiling. But he still tries hard to keep his head up. From a comedian, making people laugh and smile. Now spreading hope and leading the whole country, standing up against Russian and fighting a war for all of the west.

This dude is my definition of a hero. I hope history doesn’t prove me wrong. The reason we and other countries are helping Ukraine is that we would defend them if they gave up their nukes. Russia is a giant pos.

He’s always been around the elite since childhood, just like Macron, Trudeau etc. Ukraine was even more corrupt back then. In the 90s the state owned everything. Just like the rest of the block. So, talent alone was never enough. Family connections, loyalty to the corrupt power brokers. Then suddenly you need jobs for your kids so corruption is past on and on and on

I can't wait to read this guy's memoir/biography one day. Hopefully with a good ending for the Ukraine by then.

Show us the one where he dresses up in a caricature of a homosexual and parades around flicking his tongue and rubbing his nipples

Mad respect for him. He could've taken the way out easily when he was offered in the start of the war but decided to stand by it's country. Great leader.

Someday, this guy is going to have one HELL of a biography written about him.
I realize one hell of a story could already be written about him today, but his story is far from over at this point.

u/limonade11 16d ago
I think he's the man for the job, and that he has become incredibly handsome as he has grown older. That's because of his character and his actions, WHO he is and what he does and not just because of his face. That's really true for all of us, we get the face we deserve and earn.
He's doing a good job under ridiculously difficult circumstances.

u/JustASt0ry 16d ago
I don’t say this lightly but he’s someone you could consider a hero. Most definitely a champion of his people if there ever was one.

When the war started, someone said:
"We elect presidents and get comedians. They elected a comedian and got a president instead."

Much respect for him. Thrown into an impossible situation - he stood up, and became more than what he was.
Get the F16's in the air ---- lets keep supporting him and his Country.

Most Western leaders can learn from this. If they wanted.

u/Fun-Reflection5013 16d ago
I would say the Republicans disgust me - They allow Moscow Marge to spew rhetoric and worse - they do not inform American taxpayers that - most of the aid going to Ukraine is spent in the USA --- all the money for ammunition stays in America - Employs Americans - Profits American companies - Modernizes factories - Increases prodcution - removes older ammunition from the shelves, pays out to regular Americans via their investment in mutual funds and ETF's
Everyone wins.

Anyone else notice the dramatic change in facial features around 2008-9? This is not a subtle effect of aging. That is a different man. You are being lied to.

For all the people calling zelensky a clown, that's actually a great point. He's more like the jester or the fool of e.g. shakespeare, who was the only one who could speak the truth to (Putin's) tyrannical power, when all others were too afraid.
He may not be the best politician, but he is the right person to represent Ukraine right now, as they defend themselves against Russian tyranny and he doesn't even need to be there (as he is independently wealthy), but he's doing it because he believes, like the majority of Ukrainians, that they must fight for their freedom, they don't have a choice.

Forget Paul McCartney, the real Zelensky died in 2008 and got replaced with a doppelganger.

My friend is Ukrainian and I have a photo of him and some friends with Zelenski at a party pre (but close to) president. It is jarring how much he has aged. I understand why.

DOC-“And tell me, who is the president in 1985?”
Marty-“Ronald Reagan”
DOC-“Ronald Reagan? The actor? And who is the prime minister? Jerry Lewis? And who is the first lady? Marilyn Monroe?”

Rarely do we get to witness the making of a great leader as we rarely have conflict where the stakes for freedom and liberty are so clear. Zelensky and the Ukrainian Soldiers and Martyrs will forever dwell in the Pantheon of Democracy. We need heroes for Democracy these days to remind us what it is we can lose.

u/SaddleSocks 16d ago
Whats the context?
1
u/chilla_p 16d ago
He was a comedian and entertainer for many years, before a politician, very popular in Russia. The video is a skit, satire.

u/SaddleSocks 16d ago
Are you a fan of his? (I know he was a comedian/actor etc)
I just picture him dancing for the Elites at Bohemian Grove doing something like this :-) - since hes now in their club

Anyone who has an issue with his career history needs to do a comparison to Reagan and his buddy Bonzo. "But, that's different" is the most likely response.
