So what you're saying is that your boy Zelensky is in good company.
He's not my boy, his pacifism was criminal. He has reinvented and partly redeemed himself but this is not enough. He will need to stand the trial for his role during the period of October to February 24 in particular, and the disasters that followed after he had refused to organize the defense when there was a time for that.
Ukraine needs a military leader with political power. Much more traditionalist too. A "Nazi Junta" from Russian fairy tales.
And harder on Russia and communism than General Dudayev who remained a Soviet at heart.
Someone more like Mannerheim. Here on a TIME cover: https://content.time.com/time/magazine/archive/covers/1940/1101400205_400.jpg
In particular, a Mannerheim from these Russian leaflets: https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/1g88x4/executioner_mannerheim_antimannerheim_propaganda/
And this is his best monument, in a way: https://www.raatteenportti.fi/en/winter-war-monument/
It's not on an Mannerheim Line, but Ukraine did need their Mannerheim Line in the south and yet there was just nothing there, just border guards in unfortified checkpoints. This makes me angry everytime I think about that. Poroshenko was about to be tried for treason for less.
Ah good, so you just want me to send more of my tax dollars to be spent (totally not laundered!) by a criminally incompetent idiot to fix a situation that he himself helped to create! That's so much better!
Your tax dollars have been wasted on disarming the world's third nuclear superpower Ukraine between 1994 and 2002 (nearly 2,000 warheads and hundreds of strategic missiles and bombers), which led to this situation so much more.
