A lot of potential in that country isn’t there?

“Zelensky’s Formidable Task: Keeping the West and His Citizens On Board”

Considering that he just had his ‘Pride’ parade in Kiev a week or two ago, I’d say he doesn’t have a problem keeping his Western Handlers on board. As for his citizens, if he can get away with sending 500,000 or so of them to their deaths in the Meat Grinder, then I don’t think he has to worry about upsetting them.

I thought I saw or heard somewhere that they've grabbed 100,000 suckers in the last couple of weeks to shove into the dike against Russia.

When you gather up all the media organizations, and put them under the control of the government, ban all other political parties, close Russian-affiliated churches that people worshipped at, ban men between the ages of 18 to 80 from leaving the country, and ban elections in the country, how do you plan to keep the people “on board”?

[Kazan]

Western citizens, overwhelmingly, hate Zelensky's guts.

Rod Stewart found that out in Germany when he decided to put a video of Zelensky up while he was singing and promptly booed.

[Kazan]

Great points. And, for those reasons, Zelensky cancelled the Presidential election in Ukraine.

Thanks!!

"Rod Stewart found that out in Germany when he decided to put a video of Zelensky up while he was singing and promptly booed."

I saw a clip of that video.

“The presidential goal is to liberate all our territory,”

With what army?

[Allegra]

[Brian Griffin]

The Russians prefer to pulverize just the Ukrainian front lines rather than undertake an offensive and pulverize much of the Ukraine (that they didn’t already reduce to rubble).

[Brian Griffin]

Were they booing because of Zelensky or because their country has lots of Ukrainian refugees taking up apartments and welfare money?

[mass55th]

I would assume Zelensky, since it was his picture that went up. The clip was very short, and the boos didn’t start until the photo was shown. I wished they’d have put a picture of Biden up, just to see how the audience would have reacted.

If you want to be put in a body bag.

[ConservativeMind]

His citizens have fled or go into hiding, to not fight.

The country is a charade.

[Veto!]

I really like my new neighbors from Ukraine. Very nice couple learning English quickly.

But I detest that little jerk Z, and our own congress for spending so much our money there. And wiping out our stock of weapons by sending them to Z.
