I get that in political office everything in the public eye is a sort of show. What clothes you wear, how you handle yourself, the speeches etc.
So I get that to some people anything a politician does is purely for their own benefit. Nobody wants to look bad of course. But to me this seemed more genuine than most.
And just imagine what was going through the mind of that veteran! You do your part when you were young, filling out the forms, standing in the lines, training. Probably having doubts that they would make it out in one piece. Then decades later being thanked in person by a leader from the generations of children that didn’t even exist in the world you fought for, but who also understands the realities and tolls of conventional war at an individual level. It’s got to be surreal.
@SomeAmateur @LaFinlandia As someone who has entered politics later in life, I can attest to the “optics” that, yes, everything you do does “appear” to be for somebody’s benefit. I can also tell you that much of what you see is simply us. That’s who and what we are-unvarnished. I suspect that with Zelenskyii just about everything is WYSIWYG to use the early computer acronym-what you see is what you get. That’s just him.
wtf? straight up propaganda
What a way to talk about a guy that fought against the original Nazis.
Did he say anything bad about that guy? Try harder.
Trolling anti Nazi comments? Strange hill.
Terrorists mad
100%, it’s honestly disgusting at this point watching the western power structure parade this war around. It’s off putting, no wonder people’s apetite for it has dried up.
You mad that Putin hides in his bunker?
russia is a terrorist state
Russia can stop any time they want to.
Stop felching Putin for a moment and you’d realise he’s the one who started the conflict and can stop it at anytime by pulling back to Russia’s border.
How does ascribing blame to the aggressor, the accurate assessment BTW and I agree with you, make parading this dude around in a t shirt and cargo pants not disgusting?
Might be time to hop on your main account and make your nightly post about how mean women are to incels. Tonight is a double feature, you can bitch about how stupid you looked in this convo in the same circle jerk!
Blame putin for the war.
He can’t. He’s be thrown in the gulag.
ruzzians are mad about it.
if this even is propaganda (what is very controversial), it’s the good kind; the kind that inspires people to be thankful for what has been passed down to them and to treat others with respect.

Wholesome as hell
Sometimes I scoff at “charisma” being a trait looked for in leaders but then I see anything Zelenskyy and I’m reminded yeah ok damn I can see that. The man is arguably one of the most effective politicians ever elected. And wholesome af. Hopefully one day he can go back to comedy.
He had a lot of practice being an entertainer.
This is not intended as a slight. Charisma can be learned like many other skills.
@eestileib @CptEnder Disagree, if it could be learned, Putin would have some by now.
It can be learned, but you have to be willing for it and it needs a special trait as base requirement, neither Putin nor other Dictators have: Humility and Honesty.
He deserves a beer and a beach, dude is going to go down in history as one of the greats. “I need ammo, not a ride”.
