Is it me, or does Zelensky seem like a TV evangelist.

Thats why he shuts down all opposition. And says how one may or may not worship. He's of Jewish lineage and crest of arms is a golden trident. I'm disgusted we're allowing the govt to give this, this thing anything at all. a reply to: paraphi

Kicked out of the Olympics? Your a bit late there cos they've just been kicked off the Eurovision song contest. No, no, I'll take that back, it's about time the Eurovision was stopped.

Are you disgusted because he's got a bit of Jew in him, or that he's got a crest of arms?

Or, are you disgusted because he's got balls and charisma - enough to get elected into a high office with a good portion of the Ukrainian electorate, and to motivate his country to resist a brutal invasion by Russia.

Pray tell.

Zelensky didnt just shut down all Russian opposition in Kiev parliament but even the moderates who are pro Euporean but not pro EU.

a reply to: vNex92

Meanwhile, your boy Putin shuts down all dissent and opposition, imprisoning and murdering them.

And, it's still Kyiv.

Despite Russia's best efforts.

And that proves or disproves Zelinski is or isn’t like a television evangelist how exactly?

Your heightened emotional outbursts are very unbritish.

Surely your comprehension skills are better then they appear? That comment was made in regards to what the posters countrymen allow their government to do rather then the amount of Jew in Zelinski or his coat of arms.

It would nice to see a picture of the coat of arms in question as the only Zelinsky that I get from a google search is some kind of Polish royalty.

You know that chutzpah and charm aren’t needed to attain high office. Lol.

It’s all about what you know about who you know.

That’s the most likely reason the American hierarchy is shoveling armaments and heaping praise on a foreigner, that I can fathom anyway.

a reply to: Dalamax

Oooh.

Because he is the President of a country under attack and at war by a superpower and wants weapons to help defend against it?

TV evangelists ask for money.

He wants weapons.

Do you think he just gets wired money?

"Unbritish"?!!!!

Us Brits know what it is to face up to an invading minded Dictator?

Do you?

a reply to: Dalamax

"Comprehension skills" is it?

The mark of an internet warrior.

Considering one side of my family is ethnic Australian I will leave it up to you to figure out that one lol.

The other half is British so, you know, do us Brits know what an ‘invading minded dictator’ is?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Internet warrior? Sure why not, I was also in the Australian Regular Army for over a decade. Perhaps it’s all about training?

Still don’t see how your addressing the OP with your distasteful emotional bleating.

I think Zelinsky has all the hallmarks of an evangelist. What do you think, is he a television bobble head who promulgates or promotes something enthusiastically?

1. Any of the authors of the four Gospels in the New Testament, traditionally identified by the names Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
2. One who practices evangelism, especially a Protestant preacher or missionary.

promulgate
prŏm′əl-gāt″, prō-mŭl′gāt″
transitive verb
1. To make known to the public; popularize or advocate.
2. To put (a law, for example) into effect by formal public announcement.

When is everyone here going to realize that Biden, Putin and Zelensky are all in this game together. Putin supplies the war, Biden supplies the armaments and Zelensky obtains and divides the Billions. Just right now there are middlemen at Ft. Campbell learning how to operate and work on M1 Abrams tanks. Right now, they are supposed to get 14 tanks but ultimately get 100, maybe more. The middlemen learning the Abrams will be doled out to the countries and entities purchasing the tanks on the black market for one to five million each to teach operation and maintenance. The tanks will go for 50 to 100 million each on the black market. They will be transferred to the new owners as they are "destroyed" by the Russians (or, some one).
Who saw the fireworks that Russia allegedly caused on the ammo dump? Gotta claim that ammo went somewhere after it was sold. Just watch as this and that armament allegedly goes up in smoke as they individually get sold on the black market.
I can't wait until Biden starts giving F-16s to Zelensky... SMFH!
Wake up people! We are being hoodwinked!

I think it’s just you .
And as others have stated, he’s a bit of a rock star now.
Fearless, with small conference tables.

What would you do if your country was invaded?
Lie down and die? Or fight back?

He knows he has support, but part of the gig is making sure no one forgets that Putin is a desperate old man.
So he travels, to be seen and to personally negotiate aid.


Also.
Have you ever seen any Monty Python sketches?

Zelenskyy is a fraud, a CIA creation put in power and used to act out the part of a leader while his country is sold to the highest bidder. Its all one big sham over there. Of course, so is our government here.

a reply to: AllAnIllusion

Do you think Russia is apart of the show? Afterall, they did invade Ukraine. Ultimately they initiated this whole endevour. And furthermore, why would Putin agree to this. Unless he is secretly in the pocket of the NWO. Which would make sense, considering how he doesn't care about the freedoms of his populace.

For what it’s worth I find your theory quite plausible.

These people are only enemies in public, privately they’re shaking hands and sipping champagne together.

I could see is a fraud from day one, an actor on all fronts. Falsely wearing his army greens, it’s all marketing, make the tool look like he is hands in.

a reply to: robsmith

Yeah, it's you. Unlike Jimmy Swaggert and other such religious con-people, the aid Zelensky garners produces results, in that Ukraine has been able to fight to a stand still a much larger and quantitatively better-armed nation, and even take some territory back.

Mind you, Zelensky and his government run a very good marketing campaign and propaganda operation for their country, but generally that is what a people in a less powerful country want of their leader and government when the country is being invaded by a powerful country. It doesn't hurt the campaign and operation that said invading country commits warcrimes and has a piss-poor reputation, which is not improved by its own also piss-poor marketing campaign and propaganda operation. ISIS-style beheading videos, threats of nuclear war and enlisting felons, including murderers, are not a good look.

I would say that Netanyahu of Israel is much more of a televangelist as far as national leaders go, in that he gets foreign aid from the US at least by eliciting fear of what non-nuclear countries with much weaker militaries are going to do to poor little, nuclear-armed, really well armed conventionally, technically advanced, and commercially successful Israel if it is not given US military aid. Putin also reminds me of a televangelist -- the kind who just oozes mendacity, and whose church is going bankrupt because of all the scandals it has on his account, i.e. Jim Bakker.

As for the folk saying that he is but a failed comic and actor, what exactly was Ronald Regan?

And as for cross-dressing, you are aware of MTV and the outlandish videos made by many musical artists during its hay day, I trust. A lot of that stuff is done for shock value -- the kidz love that kinda stuff, I understand. Moreover, Donald Trump is still un-ironically (as he incapable of intentional irony) using at his rallies the Village People's "Macho Man" without their permission?

And as for those citing the corruption in Ukraine? What do you make of the corruption and other crimes of the nation invading Ukraine?

Nor, like some here, do I think the question is whether Zelensky is still smoking pot. The question is: what is Russia doing to Ukraine, and what does It want to do to other bordering nations once it is done with Ukraine?

Why do so many people hate on Zelensky for being an effective wartime leader? Is it the rubles you cats get? They're not worth that much anymore, you know.

You Zelensky and Ukraine detractors would no doubt have criticized Winston Churchill similarly in WWII.

Yeah, talk about your cross-dressers! Sorry @spacedoubt, thought that one should be spelled out for the hard of thinking.

I'll also add that unlike televangelists and most government leaders, he doesn't dress up fancy like. Now you can argue all you want that he does it for show, I remember that first video he made, on the first day or so of the invasion. He and his government ministers were wearing hoodies and filming themselves with a smart phone. That looked purdee gosh darn real. And even if the commando sweater is an intentional, affected look, it is a mighty fine one for a wartime leader. Then there is the fact that he goes near the front, in places of action, to greet the soldiers. That's a ballsy look as well.

Unlike somebody we know well, he doesn't have a humongously long desk that he sits at one end of, and sits his minions or foreign dignitaries at far end.

a reply to: MrInquisitive

I don’t recall Churchill pandering fir dollars. As far as I know, the English forces built wooden muck upshot tanks, planes to make their forces appear more than they were.

Look at how many of Zelenskys party have committed fraud!

Can’t recall trump, Reagan being accused of corruption, stealing money.

Also it has been proven that Zelensky has been selling gifted items in the dark web black market.

Question is where are the funds going, he has been gifted funds of a gdp of a medium sized nation.

Can you provide a finance report of where the funds are being spent.

And an asset list.

Until this is audited, i as many others are assuming massive misappropriation.

a reply to: MrInquisitive

He don’t wear suits, he is playing a role, filming stuff on a smartphone is deemed to look like the are filing in a bunker under attack.

Seen too many Hollywood moves ti see through the film set.
