Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an incredible leader

The Ukrainian president used to be a comedic actor and now somehow has become the biggest bada$$ in the world. When it was clear that Russia was going to invade his country and he was offered evacuation to a safe country his response was "I need ammunition, not a ride!" He has remained with his people and is so inspiring. Today was the 500th day of the Russian attack on Ukraine. This bada$$ took an inflatable boat miles from the mainland to Snake Island. Ukraine has no navy in the Black Sea to protect such a trip. Snake Island is where Russia attacked early and that's when the Ukrainian military there refused to surrender and told it to go F itself. Ukraine even printed stamps commemorating that victory. Zelenskyy was there today commemorating that bravery and to show Russia that they have made like zero gains. This man constantly amazes me. He is a former actor who is now dealing with a brutal attack on his country. Ukrainians in general amaze me. Russia will lose this war and Putin will lose his power in that country. Slava Ukraine!

Politiicians don't normally impress me, and I'm sure Zelensky's got his faults, but he's turned out to be the right guy in the right place at the right time. I think one of the best things he did was right after the invasion started, when he had himself and members of his cabinet make a TV broadcast from the streets of Kyev to show the population that they weren't running. That must have done a lot to stiffen resistance.

He has remained and even going to Snake Island yesterday was an amazing show of bravery that I'm sure boosted Ukrainian morale.

Zelenskyy has made Putin turn into the bad guy for everyone in the world. Whatever the outcome, Putin has lost. This war looks like the Biblical fight of David against Gotiath.

It really does. The Ukrainian people have been incredible in their resistance. The world needs to give Ukraine everything they need to regain their territory and defeat Russia. Thank Darwin Joe Biden is the president right now because Trump wouldn't have lifted a finger to help Ukraine.

@NJChicaa Trump would have wanted something for himself. Monopoly rights to market wheat exports or something like that, either for himself or a stooge.
