Zelensky really doing that "I see you, I hear you" shit towards getting his cities flattened
Worse even, he basically just blew the guy off like "yeah, yeah, I hear ya". It's like your friend saying hey you should have a doctor look into that weird mole on your skin and you going "uh-huh, sure."
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
But to be fair it's been there my entire life lol.
As long as it doesn't change and isn't raised, irregularly shaped, or scaly, you're prolly good. Still would recommend getting it off if it's somewhere that gets a lot of sun.
Realistically I think Zelensky is too scared to surrender — especially if the final terms with Russia includes territorial changes etc he’s gonna get taken out by the Ukrainian Nazis, Rabin-style (esp with all the antisemitic “back-stabbed” shit he will face). Plus, I think Russia prefers Zelensky to be in power in order that whatever term/deal they end up signing can be legitimately and effectively implemented on the Ukrainian side.
This power dynamic sucks because it means more lives have to perish so that it can be definitively moved toward genuine peace talks. Ironically, though, it also means that the Russians/DPR liquidating the Azov scum (:sicko-beaming:) could objectively be doing Zelensky a big favor.
that shit needs to be televised. in a fair world we'd get to watch them build the wall, line those mother fuckers up, and liberate reality from them.
Heartbreaking

Yeah he's going to get a lot of people killed.
Zelensky doesn't want to be the only politician who doesn't come out of this alive. Ironically, he'll probably end up being killed by his allies.
Imagine being Jewish and leading a government where armed Nazi paramilitaries have an official role and control actual territory.
When he was new, I was intrigued by Ukraine having a Jewish president, but never dug into who he was. The more I learn about this guy while this crisis unfolds, I'm starting to think he might be a piece of shit that dug his own grave.
people are talking a lot about zelensky being concerned for his own safety which like, yeah probably, but any peace terms he accepts are gonna be spun as "(((they))) stabbed us in the back and sold us out to russia" and things are gonna get bad for a lot more people than just zelensky himself.
to be clear i still think they should make peace obviously, i just don't think it's fair to put this entirely on zelensky self preservation.
he deserves it. he could have literally ended the world because he wanted to cozy up to imperialist scum.
maybe he does, what i'm saying is it would be bad for the innocent jewish minority in ukraine. I don't know if there's a better solution though.
"Better solutions" went out the window 10-20 years ago when the roots of the current conflict went off-rails. This war is the reaping of seeds planted long ago. Now all the options are bad. Ukraine could have purged the Nazis. It could have better protected it's linguistic and ethnic minorities. It could have followed it's own constitutional processes when ousting what's his fuck during the Maidan revolt. Lot's of missed opportunities lead to this point.
agreed.
Zelensky is either a high multimillionaire or billionaire oligarch. I imagine he doesn't think about much beyond his own self preservation.
Israel being concerned we are all giving nazis guns?
I mean, his surrender is the objectively correct move. The libs on twitter get wildly mad when I say it though
