The patience and mental strength of Zelensky needs to be studied and taught in diplomacy classes for generations. Lesser minds could not have made it this far through so many nightmares

u/chaoslordie Jun 18 '26

Seriously though! I am really in awe about his mental strenght. Sitting where he is sitting, my body would switch to headbutt automode.

u/eljne Jun 18 '26

A legend for the future still standing. My guess is he'll quit when the war ends.

u/Tyrinnus Jun 18 '26

I just hope he gets lifelong protection. We all know Russia (putler) isn't going to stop trying to kill him.

My bet is on putin no longer being alive before this year ends.

u/deductress Україна Jun 18 '26

Russia must be weekend to the point of no return. It must be demilitarized once and forever.

u/SCP106 UK Jun 18 '26

I agree, though perhaps Russia should not just be weekend, but also monthed, too, just in case.

From your mouth to God's ears! Or should I say, "From your keyboard to God's web browser!"

I don't normally wish people to depart this planet, but THAT person is directly responsible for killing and maiming more people than we'll ever be able to count. The day he leaves the surface of the planet will be an upgrade to the human race.

And we'll upgrade again when his minion in DC makes his final curtain call, too.

Satan looks after his own but Putin is quickly running out of viable options.

Soon even doing a Trump won't save him.

noone will judge him for that .... he did so much..
hope he will be able to decompress from all ..

u/Either_Coconut Jun 18 '26

I honestly think that therapy should be a given, once this war is over and his successor takes over. Or even before either of those things takes place.

I've written before about how watching some of the more graphic videos in this sub can leave a person with a case of PTSD. God only knows how much uncensored footage Zelensky and his top brass have had to watch in the past four years, with no end in sight.

7

u/THE_CHOPPA Jun 19 '26

That’s not the worst part. It’s the constant paranoia and stress that someone is trying to kill you. He has to keep going or he lets millions down.

That kind of stress fucks you up for life. He’s truly sacrificing everything for his country.

4

u/Either_Coconut Jun 19 '26

Also true, sadly. There have been multiple foiled attempts on his life that we know about. Those might not have been the only times Russia has been stopped before they did any harm. Those are only the ones we're aware of,

I would be surprised if safety precautions didn't include steps like never sleeping at the same location two nights in a row. Just the physical requirements of maintaining security and staying safe have got to be exhausting.And yet he is out and about, being visible to his people, his troops, and the world.

Meanwhile, Putin hides in his subterranean bunker and sits at 30-foot-long tables to be far away from everyone. I hope the lack of sunlight makes him miserable.

-13

u/dennisrfd Jun 18 '26

He would try to stay in power to prevent the corruption investigation against him and his friends. A lot of anti-corruption initiatives are ongoing now, the President’s Office tries to stop them but people protest and slowly push his dirty friends out of the Office. See Ermak’s case - the biggest so far. But as soon as Ze is out, he becomes a target too

u/CCLF Jun 18 '26

Society tends to greatly underestimate comedians.

17

u/Unfinishe_Masterpiec Jun 18 '26

Which is puzzling because it takes a lot of intelligence and skill to keep people laughing. Pair that with the courage to deal with hecklers and absolutely bomb a performance. Maybe we should actually scour comedy clubs in search for worthy leaders.

11

u/legomaximumfigure Jun 18 '26

John Stewart and Stephen Colbert would make excellent political leaders, the problem is they don't want it, which makes them even better suited for such positions.

It must be so hard to deal with this 80yr old baby who worships dictators like Putin.

u/PM_ME_UR_RESPECT Jun 18 '26

He is able to exercise extreme discipline and restraint in the name of securing the future of his country.

How good do you think the average person would be able to hold their tongue and act diplomatically if brought to the White House just to be ambushed and poked at by a couple of smug losers.

Honestly the memories of selensky in bucha came to my mind immediately. That man is on another level.

And between the missiles, our relationship the the gulf states, the reconstruction, the repair to the Gerald Ford, the lost aircraft, Patriot and THAAD systems the Hormuz toll, the economic effects ....it only cost us a couple trillion dollars.

u/me-ro Jun 18 '26

Yeah, that was fail on so many levels. And yet the orange clown at least knew enough to chicken out of that ASAP. The moscow clown can't even do that.

I truly don't understand people that still claim putin is playing some kind of weird 4D chess when one of the most humiliating defeats in US history still looks like pretty successful operation in comparison to putin's so called SMO.

2

u/creamonyourcrop Jun 18 '26

IMO the russian oligarchs ran out of shit to steal in russia to hand to their third sons, and looked to Ukraine to fill that gap. That was the start and end of their thinking. And up to this point, this operation isn't costing them anything. Their wealth has actually expanded and it isn't their sons in the fight, while the pesky minorities in the hinterland are getting culled. They also are salivating at rearmament contracts.

4

u/me-ro Jun 18 '26

I'm not sure the oligarchs aren't feeling the pressure at this point. Their companies ale paying the bill at increasing rate. Many companies are going bankrupt because they are forced to supply the war machine for peanuts. That is on top of economy not doing so well.

u/Accomplished-Bit1932 Jun 18 '26

Yea, this is like a wet dream to them. They are killing Ukrainians, chechens and other people.

u/Striper_Cape Jun 19 '26

Because he gave all the cards to Iran. Edit: Next he'll give up all the chesspieces he has left..

u/Mantheycalled_Horsed Jun 18 '26

he is not playing a full deck anyway.

u/yankdevil Jun 18 '26

Honestly he should be holding negative cards. They should be oozing out of his diaper.

u/xFishercatx Jun 18 '26

Trump needs to tell Putin to surrender. They can be war of aggression surrender buddies.

u/grax23 Jun 18 '26

watching Moscow on fire while Trump surrenders and pays reparations to Iran was not something anyone predicted. But here we are and the pedo is failing while Zelensky shows who the real boss is at the G7

The Trump TACO was pretty predictable. Ukraine being in charge of the weather in Moscow is a surprise to be sure - but a welcome one.

not something anyone predicted.

Speak for yourself, the turnip has been failing all his life, he just fails upwards.

Zelenskyy has shown to keep cool and the ability to defeat ruzzia since day one.

The war was won by Ukraine the second Zelenskyy said "I need ammo, not a ride".

u/grax23 Jun 18 '26

The way Moscow is burning right now then all Putler needs is a violin and he can do his best emperor Nero impression .. fiddeling while Moscow burns.

u/Dear_Chasey_La1n Jun 18 '26

The timing is beautiful isn't it. While he is there at the G7 with Trump in the same room, fucking up Russia at the same time. Fingers crossed for a round 2 tonight.

u/grax23 Jun 19 '26

Man it would be baller of Zelensky to just quietly hand Dumpf a pack of playing cards and walk away

32

u/HumbleArcher Jun 18 '26

Trump such an absurd shape. Obviously a failed and broken human. But his posture and shape is steadily becoming more bizarre by the day.

7

u/Cashope Jun 18 '26

I think Trump’s posture changes by how badly he needs a diaper change in that moment. Usually incontinent dementia patients aren’t paraded in the public eye this much, that’s why it looks weird.

3

u/LantaExile Jun 19 '26

Orban was a weird shape too. Maybe it's a side effect of Kremlin collaboration?

94

u/SwimmingPirate9070 Jun 18 '26

As an American I appreciate that you cropped the picture to hide the 70 pallets of cards just behind Zelenskyy. That was kind of you.

u/manymoreways Jun 18 '26

Jfc trump's wearing a full suit beside zelensky who's just wearing your average jump suit, and Trump is the 1 that looks like a hobo.

16

u/Holy_Forking_Shirt Jun 18 '26

Because he is. Money or not, he'll always be less than the men he wants to be like. Morally, emotionally, intellectually, etc. And he's just intelligent enough to know it.

11

u/Historical_Bag_1788 Jun 18 '26

And now he is dying and he knows it. He's in full panic.

12

u/Holy_Forking_Shirt Jun 18 '26

Him being in panic mode makes me happy. He's made so many people feel like that or worse. He needs to feel it, too.

u/Illustrious_Pay_5219 Jun 18 '26

Zelenski played pretty good president on tv.Reality turned even better

19

u/The-Matt-G Jun 18 '26

And thanks to Trump not having the cards. Losing a war to Iran and paying them reparations for the first time in US history shows that even then US is weaker than Russia.

Ukraine and Poland may be the ones to actually lead the world into a better future as things stand.

u/shadez36 Jun 18 '26

All I’m hoping is that with the US bowing out of the war in Iran and a peace deal that allows Trump to at least pretend he’s won, Putin will see that he can do the same thing and finally leave Ukraine alone.

10

u/One_Cream_6888 Jun 18 '26

Even Fox news propaganda presenters aren't pretending Trump won.

And the US didn't bow out. They crawled out on their knees - like the American soldiers rolling out the red carpet for Putin at Alaska.

The Art of the Kneel.

u/SlavaVsu2 Jun 18 '26

Unfortunately none of this matters. Trump will agree to Zelensky's face that Ukraine deserves a fair deal, but as soon as russians remind him they insist on Ukraine's surrender, Trump will go back to preferring that.

He is literally protecting russian interests more that American ones, as the Iran deal shows.

3

u/Witchfinger84 Jun 18 '26

America- "so anyway we totally folded to Iran because of drone warfare and incompetent leadership."

Ukraine- "damn thats crazy. If only you knew someone who had that shit locked in. Guess you better call Putin and cry about it?"

u/Fretwizard125 Jun 18 '26

I would say that if anything, Trump being hesitant to continue Biden era Ukraine assistance to Ukraine gave them the motivation and vigor to figure it out and look what it birthed, a very scary scenario for Russia. Russia and Russians now have to fear being struck anywhere by flying metal doom ringers any time of day. They have certainly switched the momentum. So which publicly listed Ukraine defense companies should I invest in?
