guy's just finding out he's been used by the west, hopefully he'll get the idea in the next 3 years.

He’s an actor who was hired to play a role by a European oligarch. The whole financial scheme was revealed in the Pandora Papers. This is just part of the act.

Extremely weird story to get pushed out everywhere. Attacks on kyiv were retaliation for Ukrainian attempted drone terrorism on Moscow the day before.

Zelensky should be the one admonished for escalating stupidly, and usa silence encourages zelensky destruction of Ukraine.

He's trying to keep the money and weapons flowing in. He’s also used the ongoing proxy war to justify not holding elections, and people remain pissed at him for pretending to be a peace candidate to get elected. Just like Netanyahu, he knows ongoing conflict is his best hope to hold onto his position.
