He’s done well as a wartime leader, but his peacetime leadership was marked by cronyism (the head of the intelligence service was his TV Producer partner, which went well) and a credible corruption investigation halted by the invasion. Without the grand purpose of the war, he’d probably be too scandal-prone to hold a consensus.
It’s hard to see a world leader though as so many electorates have turned inward. Zelenskyy is the one with an outward focus.
I mean, Ukraine was (is?) probably the country with the most corruption in Europe, I’ve been there, it was flabbergasting. It stands to reason that you don’t become the president of such a country without getting dirty yourself.
But everyone can improve, that’s part of the point of this war I think: Ukraine could have just let Russia take over, everything would have probably gone back to “normal” in a few years, but they’re making sacrifices for a better future, one closer to European democracies.
Of course what op is saying is childish nonsense for so many reasons it’s not even worth discussing.
