Switching from speaking Ukrainian to Russian, Zelensky appealed to the Russian people to make a choice “between life and slavery.”
People of Russia … this is the time when you can still win over the evil,” he said.
“We are Ukrainians. We need peace. We want peace. And for Russian citizens it's not only the fight for peace in Ukraine but for your peace and for your freedom. You used to see it. You knew prosperity…If you will be silent now, then only your poverty will speak for you”, Zelensky continued.
From what I can see the guy's doing a damn good job. I saw a piece last night with clips from his performing career - You'd never guess it was the same guy; singing, dancing, acting goofy. His "I don't what a ride I want weapons" when offered a flight out is a classic.Zelensky says Russia is preparing to bomb Odessa

Despite my reticence in posting sources without a perma-link, I felt this story is interesting enough that I had to post it.
Just look at Zelensky's plea to the Russian citizens. Keep in mind that at one time The Ukraine was part of the Russian empire, and there's a shared Russian cultural heritage between the two. Then, look how well Zelenksy phrased his plea. The succinctness, the poignancy, the appeal for righteousness.
I now clearly see how Zelensky, the ultimate dark-horse candidate, came to become the People's choice for President. He is a 'man for all seasons', no doubt about it! The term, 'man for all seasons', may have fallen into disuse; but Mr' Zelensky very much seems to embody it.

Yeah, as I mentioned on that thread I was gobsmacked by the number of posts on that trivial topic. This thread is far more interesting and germane.Thanks for the reply. And thanks for shifting gears in a thread different from the one where we disagree.
Yeah, Zelensky's pretty amazing IMO. A comedian! Think about that? And, now look at him!
And yes, he has a way with rhetoric, which is why i posted this thread.
I feel sorry for the guy. Zelensky is a reluctant puppet for the globalists and the US State Department...and there's not a whole lot he can do about it.Zelensky says Russia is preparing to bomb Odessa

Geezus, what a stupid ****ing comment. Even for you.I feel sorry for the guy. Zelensky is a reluctant puppet for the globalists and the US State Department...and there's not a whole lot he can do about it.
LOL!!Geezus, what a stupid ****ing comment. Even for you.
Zelensky is the kind of leader that any country would be lucky to have.
My father used that phrase quite often. Man of all seasons. Of course, that applies to women also. Fight a war, save a kitten, paint a house, cry over a sad movie
, change a tire at 4:30 in the morning, love your spouse with great fervor,
then tell some prick to F..off.

Some activists want to remove his name from an airport here in the greater Los Angeles area.If your pops & grandfather were like mine, this guy below might have been the epitome of these virtues:
Umm…Have you READ Mycroft’s posts around here?Oh Mycroft, why can you not perceive greatness when you see it?

Many years ago, he made some very unkind comments about an ethnicity in this country.
