Disinformation terrorist suffering from terminal sarcasm.
Zelensky is one of those inspirational stories of the down-to-earth guy who rises from nothing to become a coke-snorting, oligarch-funded Churchill-quoting president who bans the political opposition while hiding billions in the BVI.
What is there not to admire about the man?

"Putin would never ever say his name. So I thought tonight people who believe in freedom must say his name. Not just remember it, but say it."
US attack on NS2 was a message to Germany:
See what will happen if you go weak on sanctions? We will do everything we can to prevent you from having access to Russian energy ever again.
Germans - is this what you voted for?
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if has there been a single American or European government official who has said "Maybe we should have pushed Zelensky a bit harder to comply with the Minsk Accords" or words to that effect?
Zelensky: “It’s time to meet. Time to talk. It is time to restore territorial integrity and justice for Ukraine. Otherwise Russia’s losses will be so huge that several generations will not be enough to rebound.”
Someone is losing his grasp of reality.
Libya was once one of Africa's most prosperous countries, but years of lawlessness have left it a fragile, divided state - ill-prepared to cope with the forces unleashed by a natural disaster.
Scholz, Habeck and Baerbock should be put on trial for treason. They have knowingly favoured the well-being of a foreign country at the expense of the essential well-being of their own citizens.
Guardian headline: "Ukraine is considering shutting down its Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant for safety reasons, according to Kyiv’s top nuclear safety expert."
Q: How do you shut something down that you no longer control?
Angelina Jolie is in Lvov. I guess it was only a matter of time before Hollywood deployed its heavy weaponry.
That's it. Game over for Russia and Putin.
"NATO is a defensive alliance"
You goddamned liars.
How stupid do you think we are?
Did Jugoslavija attack NATO?
Did Libya attack NATO?
Roast in hell, you bastard warmongers.
Let’s get our facts straight:
#NATO
is a defensive Alliance, aiming to safeguard its member nations.

#WeAreNATO
How curious that a country separated from most of the world by two vast oceans, and with 2 large peaceful neighbours, ended up being the most paranoid and aggressive nation on the planet.
I am totally confused.
Apparently Germany and the US are against offering Ukraine NATO membership right now for fear of provoking a Russian reaction.
But aren't we being told every day that Russian behaviour has nothing to do with the expansion of NATO?
😉
Nightmare. Not only did a Belarusian win the Aus Open women's title but an unvaccinated Serb was just crowned men's champion.
It's the end of civilisation as we know it.
OMG, you poor little thing.
Where are the flattened buildings? Where are the bodies sticking out of the rubble? Where are the dust-covered mothers and children screaming in agony?
Wow. Absolutely massive protest is taking place in Paris right now in support of Palestine.
With thousands chanting: “Israel assassin! Macron accomplice!”
US diplomacy with Russia lies in ruins but the most alarming thing is that hatred of Russia is now so deep and widespread in US politics that there is no likelihood of improvement in the foreseeable future. 1/2
Apparently the Austrian parliament denied Zelensky an audience with its deputies saying that Austria is a neutral country and that Zel's speeches are one-sided.
So expect a huge Western onslaught against the "failure of neutrality".
Watch as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) desperately tries and fails to elicit a statement from the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, that the current campus protests are being deviously "manipulated" by "Chinese sympathizers" and/or TikTok
The Russian setback in Kharkov has produced some truly deranged euphoria. Michael McFaul has proclaimed the end of something called "Putinism". Ben Hodges goes further and declares that this is the end of the Russian Federation. A few observations:
Piers Morgan says the US is "the defender of freedom and democracy around the world", and John Mearsheimer has to keep himself from laughing in his flabby face as he destroys and humiliates him
The Norwegian Foreign Affairs minister urges countries to continue funding UNRWA and says that suspending UNRWA funding amounts to collective punishment.

We took note of Russia’s false claims about alleged U.S. biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine. We’ve also seen Chinese officials echo these conspiracy theories.
If Britain says Russia is at war with the Ukraine and British troops are in Ukraine to help Ukrainian troops fight Russians then by definition Britain is now at war with Russia. Who authorised our entry into this war? Where are the MPs screaming for a vote?
NATO could put an end to this crisis immediately by:
1) Ruling out membership for Ukraine.
2) Backing a treaty of neutrality for Ukraine.
Ask yourself why they refuse to take these steps.
Unsurprisingly, Sky News has literally justified the assassination attempt on Slovakian PM Robert Fico. Despicable ghouls.
Reposting it, because the previous one has "mysteriously disappeared".
Sean Penn: I’ll smelt my Oscars if Academy doesn’t let Zelenskiy speak."
OMG. Not the Smelted Oscar Option!!! Everyone's worst nightmare. The clock is ticking. Please someone, change his mind. For the sake of humanity and peace in Hollywood.
Thousands of people are dying in Ukraine in large part because Putin can't bear to let Zelenskyy win. The Z-man is everything Putin is not: Younger, more charismatic, heroic in the eyes of the world.
The usual laughably de-contextualised rubbish from McFaul the Clown.
He McFails to mention that Zelensky won the 2019 election on a platform of peace and reconciliation with Russia.
A plea to stick with a failed policy.
Sewing discord was McFool's objective from the moment he was appointed ambassador to Russia.
An enormous flop, of course.
But then Russiagate came to the rescue and he became a tenured grifter.
Germany has been "baerbocked".
*baerbock* (defn) verb:
- to cripple or destroy something you were appointed to protect and foster (eg. the economy), specifically to appease a dominant foreign power, with an eye to advancing your (miserable) career.
synonym: betray
Yeah we have 100% moved from “Germany isn’t deindustrialising stop being hysterical” to “of course the German economy is collapsing everyone knows that”. Expect more admissions of economic turmoil and collapse in the West to follow this next year or two. 🇩🇪
@amborin
"Russian economy is the size of Italy's"
"Russia fights with shovels and spare parts from washing machines"
"Russia has little indoor plumbing"
And so on...
As the warrior-philosopher George W. Bush might put it, we "misunderestimated" the Russians.
Someone else who should quit his job.
The Middle East has suffered because of a lack of US "engagement". 🤪
And China's role in brokering a Saudi-Iranian rapprochement doesn't even rate a mention.

After Putin’s surreal speech and decision to recognize the LNR and DNR, isn’t it time to shed any illusions that we are dealing w someone who was ever interested in diplomacy.
I'm not one for sticking flag symbols on Twitter handles, but have you noticed how nearly all the Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 types never did the Palestinian or Yemeni flag?
I'm sure it's pure coincidence.
I’m in China to make progress on issues that matter most to the American people, including curbing fentanyl trafficking. We will discuss work underway to fulfill commitments made by

In a rare show of bipartisan agreement, U.S. officials and lawmakers from both parties said Sunday that the brief rebellion against Russia’s defense officials by a Russian mercenary group had weakened Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I think Israel should go in there and kick the sh*t out of them, just absolutely destroy them, their infrastructure, level anything that they touch.”
This is what Rep. Mast had to say on Holocaust Remembrance Day in response to the news that Hamas had agreed to a ceasefire.
You really got to hand it to Iranians. After years of medieval sanctions they remain defiant. Americans and Brits would have folded after 2 weeks of no access to Big Macs and fabric softener.

Strange how it never once questioned the lengthy public absences of Zaluzhny or Budanov....
Historians will look back at this strange period and marvel at how the US used Poland and the Baltics to hijack EU foreign policy and how Germany did nothing to stop it.

Why does anyone interview this psychopath? What purpose does it serve? He is no longer in government, so precisely what insight is to be gained from featuring the insane ramblings of this nasty inveterate liar?
The loss of 7 humanitarian aid workers' lives is, without question, a great tragedy. The fact is, however, that Gaza's misery is directly attributable to Hamas, its government, both for the October 7 attack and for Hamas cynically using its fellow Gazans as human shields. I am
