Pinochet was a great man. He was the first person in history to successfully depose a Communist regime and he did it at a low price of making fewer than 1800 people disappear.

In one generation, Chile graduated from the third world to the first world because of what he did.

Yes, I agree. I found their comparison to Pinochet unwarranted and incorrect.

Its a somewhat leftist site, so for them, Pinochet is a bogeyman in all ways I suppose.

Otherwise, the article is VERY informative about the state of Ukraine and Zelensky’s history.

Wow... An academic saying mean things about Zelensky? It must be true because academics never lie...

Zelensky chose to stay and fight when almost everyone else would have left.
