    What is so sad is that he’s just a stupid fall guy. And while I know that; I find him utterly repulsive.

    He isnt in control. But the fact they’re out there trying to make war criminals and Ukrainian neonazism sexy just makes me wanna claw my skin off.

    And dont get me started with the ads telling me how I can date Ukrainian girls on my area. The sex predation of the west over victims of war is just full blown black pilling.

    It makes me want to beat up the entire liberal world.

    GODDAMN how long has this mf been wearing the same ass shirt? Does Poland not have clothing stores or something? Does he have multiple plain Green shirts that he switches out like a cartoon character? If so, choose a better outfit(I know he has at least 2 shirts, one of the shirts literally just says “I am Ukrainian”) Is Zelenskyy just grinding out Modern Warfare matches in his basement while drinking Mtn Dew and ordering Wing Stop? Like c’mon dude change the fucking shirt, instead of looking like a Head of State, he looks like he could plausibly be a manager at my grocery.

      His image was created in a lab to appeal to the most important demographic for our capitalist overlords: Basic White Men

        To be fair, this particular image also caters to that other supremely important demographic: sexually-frustrated suburban wine moms. Who said the capitalists never learn anything new?

          The best thing is: if you manage to read long enough without vomiting, you’ll even find an Orwell reference.

          Literally 1984.

      It’s safe to assume there’s a whole team of marketeers that spend time brainstorming, researching and designing the best possible look for him, for a good amount of money too.

    Ukraine Twitter is doing everything they can to downplay how pathetic this is on Zelenksy’s part. Anyone who questions how a sitting president whose country is being invaded can have the time for meeting celebrities and photoshoots is a Russian propagandist. Can’t wait for this “war” to end.

      And for what? Nothing. The man’s responsible for tens of thousands of civilians casualties. He’s responsible for extreme corruption and neo-nazi terrorist groups. He’s not a good man.

      But media says he is good so people have to defend him at all cost. I don’t get it. You don’t have to be a Kremlin official to be critical of this man.

      I swear this man could be filmed hitting babies with a brick and people will still defend him in fear of being ‘pro-Russian’ or whatever.

      There are computer games being produced now in Ukraine. This is the most relaxed invasion i ever seen, if US was doing that, there would be no electricity or water anywhere.

        I think one of the key distinctions that makes that sometimes true is that US/NATO will very deliberately target power plants, water filtration facilities, and other things that are absolutely essential to maintain civilian life. If I remember correctly multiple of the “agent Xs” used to Vietnam were designed specifically to wipe out crop fields and cause mass starvation. In Libya where they had made the world’s largest irrigation system, NATO bombed it to nothing.

        I highly doubt there has been a single invasion without war crimes- hell, I’m sure even when Vietnam invaded Cambodia there were some war crimes commited by a few pieces of shit. But I don’t see Russia literally coating Ukraine in radioactive shit like agent orange or making it impossible for people to access water or electricity. I don’t see them causing the mass starvation of infants, Iraq and Ukraine have a similar population and US killed 500,000 infants from sanctions alone. You don’t see Russia stopping it’s top ally China from trading or having good relations with Ukraine like US has done to so many, forcing most of Europe to comply with criminal sanctions to maintain trade with US.

          War crimes are a fairly new concept when you get right down to it. Until recently that was just called “waging war.” Ironically though, the next time the US or NATO gets into a big war I’m sure we’re going to start seeing a lot of news articles about how the Geneva Convention were just suggestions or something.

    A while back, weren’t they trying to establish him as a leader who spent his time on the front lines, with his troops?

    Guess that phase of the propaganda war is over.
