      The warrior-king model certainly had its own flaws, but at least when the king declared war, he picked up a sword and fought.

      Zelensky has done a fine job getting directly involved, imo.

        TBH this is a case where hiding away makes sense. Russia absolutely wants him dead, and his value rallying Western support alone is pivotal. Even dehumanized, he’s a strategic asset.

        I wouldn’t imagine he lives a particularly luxurious life, either, even if its a very expensive one.

        Getting directly involved in publicity photo shoots, that is.

      There are definitely some wars I’d much rather were just MMA death fights between the PM’s and presidents.

      And others where I’m glad they aren’t, because the country whose victory would be best for the common good is led by someone who would not win a physical fight.
