This is what being a leader looks like.
It would be a shame if a shit end to this war buries Zelensky in history. He’s not perfect, but he deserves some monuments.

Trump suggested that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
I’d like it if more summaries of what conservatives say/believe were followed by sentences which began with “In reality…”
They should go even harder, and explain that Trump is apparently openly lying.

The only issue is that conservatives don't read so they'll never see it anyway.

The actions of a man who loves his country and not power? Politicians in the US (on both sides) could never comprehend this.

Honestly he’s gotta be pretty fucking tired by now. I’d want to retire after leading a country through war for 3 years.
Going from comedian to wartime leader is quite a jump.
Well, he also went from lawyer to comedian. Kind of makes the jump seem much lower.
Who the fuck would actually want his job? Besides some Russian cunt?
It's a hypothetical scenario anyways because Ukraine being a NATO member would mean NATO boots on ground in Ukraine, which the US (and in fairness a lot of other NATO countries, but for different reasons) want to avoid. But it calls the bluff on the unfounded dictator accusations that Russia and some puppets peddle.

Boss.
An infinitely better leader than the shitstain America has "leading" them.
Trump saying he started the war is ludicrous but somehow the right will do the mental backflips required to believe this shit. Somehow it's zelenskys fault even though putin invaded.

lol now, US president Krasnov Trump can't say President Zelensky is a dictator.
If Russia gets Ukraine, it'll be 2-3 years of peace while Russia rebuilds and regroups it's forces before it's onto invading the next country. Probably Poland, Belarus, or Georgia. And he'll keep doing it again and again - waging war with the west until they win or the public decides that saving a few pennies on their taxes is more important than preventing totalitarianism from subsuming Europe again.
