This isn't up to the usual PBS standard but it's something.
 
We drew a red line and folded like a cheap lawn chair.

Zelensky walks the talk....................... unlike our last three presidents.
 
So far every hero thing I have heard reported about Zelenskyy eventually ends up exposed as propaganda or exaggeration.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but I hope he is not being built up into another Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Meaning if he gets taken out, it escalates into an other World War.
 
i thought the Ukrainians were just a bunch of Nazis??
 
Fun Fact: WW2 the Russians fought the Nazi while the Ukrainians were some of their most loyal allies.
so the current Ukrainians are just a bunch of Nazis?

Are you counting Trump among them? There is a reason that nothing like this was even on the Putin agenda while Trump was in office.
 
Can we agree Ukrainian Nazis (if they exist) are much more likable than German Nazis? Maybe it's because they aren't sending their Jewish citizens off to death camps like the for real German Nazis did.
 
No the Nazis were Left Wing Socialist. Todays Ukrainians appear to have more in common with Right leaning Americans.
The Nazis were far right fascists, And in WWII both Russia and Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union. The far left Soviet Union fought far right Germany. Unfortunately, your grasp of history is on par with much of America. It's sad.
 

Describing “Fascism” as Right Wing is the biggest and one of the most easily disproven political lies of the last 100 years.

Fascism was created by Giovanni Gentile. Gentile was a hard-core Marxist and friend of Vladimir Lenin. Documents of the time show he was greatly admired by FDR and every other pre-WW2 Leftist. Gentile was a mentor of Mussolini and after his raise to power Gentile became one of Mussolini’s advisors.

To be fair, many leftists have begun to feel the need to add a little spice to their routine spewing of the Hitler label, so a new favorite zinger has emerged: “Fascism” is the new debate-ending slur of choice employed by fashionable pseudo-historians everywhere.

Unfortunately for the left, it turns out that Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and other key Democrats were actually fans of Adolf Hitler and his Italian fascist copycat Benito Mussolini. If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle…(well, you know).
Yes, it’s true. The architect of the modern left and the patriarch of neo-liberalism admitted to drawing considerable inspiration from the fascist uprisings led by both Hitler and Mussolini prior to the outbreak of WWII (when admission of Nazi sentiments became hazardous to one’s health.)

Even Joseph P. Kennedy and Prescott Bush were waist-deep in cash derived from shaking the bloody hand of Hitler, a fact these self-appointed ruling families continue to whisk away from public view at crucial moments of political determination.
FDR and his foremost cheerleaders at the time specifically espoused open support for the efficiency of Mussolini and Hitler, and welcomed fascism (minus the war) at home.

Roosevelt himself once called Mussolini “admirable,” adding that he was “deeply impressed by what he has accomplished.” Mussolini returned the compliment with adulatory praise, writing of Roosevelt’s many reforms, “Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices … Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change resembles that of Fascism.”

Leftists from academia, the media, and Roosevelt’s own administration were among those rallying around a brownshirt pipedream.

FDR adviser Rexford Guy Tugwell said of Italian fascism: “It’s the cleanest, neatest, most efficiently operating piece of social machinery I’ve ever seen. It makes me envious,” adding that, “I find Italy doing many of the things which seem to me necessary … Mussolini certainly has the same people opposed to him as FDR has.”
