    yet you’re convinced it was actually planned?

    The thing before the journalists is not all of their meeting and not the longest part. It’s usually intended to officially present results. So yes.

    I’m also convinced Zelensky’s look in a sweater and sneakers is always planned. You can’t maintain that over a few years consistently if it really was a result of some tight schedule of a wartime leader or whatever. Such a person could be forgetting to shave sometimes, but not to the same degree every day, LOL. So those making fun of it are right, it’s not that PR weren’t important, it’s really part of his job, not worse than Trump in any case, but he should put more effort.

    You cannot come up with a reason for Zelenski to play along in this “scripted interview”,

    It’s usually scripted in this particular kind of situation. Why are you putting quotes here as if you were completely ignorant of the process and thinking I wrote something strange, I don’t know. Diplomacy is a very ritualized part of reality.

    Isn’t there a way simpler explanation here, given the two idiots he was sitting next to?

    I gave you the simpler explanation, what I wrote is literally the simpler explanation!

    Idiots don’t raise to such power. Even Idi Amin and Bokassa and Gaddafi were not idiots.

    That’s the whole point, all three people in that video are very intelligent, if immoral. It’s almost impossible for them to lack self-control enough to have a conflict before cameras.

    For an idiot in power see Pashinyan, but I’m not convinced about him either.
