Zelenskyy and Trump both carry a great weight…but with Trump it’s just because he’s a fat fuck.
Trump would be carrying the weight of the US and the free world, too.
But he rejected the mantle, he didn’t pick it up. He just pokes it sometimes, and points at it and talks about it as something in his possession.
As with his life he wants all of the power and none of the responsibility
I mean, he seems to spend no time off while dismantling democracy. I don’t understand why people go so far to ruin other’s lives, but not save them.
Trump posts crap like this to truth social
That’s fucking hilarious.
‘Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I’m basically like him!’
Is the left Elvis?
Unfortunately yes. Lol
Loool!
Someone take a recent normal photo of thump and put it on the right side please 😂
Absolute hero this man, every European and democratic country should hope to have its own Zelenskyy.
It breaks my heart. I have a few Ukrainian coworkers (working remotely), and when we jump in Slack and I chat with them now compared to when we first started working together, all I hear is the weariness, the sadness, the loss. This woman designed all of our proprietary software, and she was always such an upbeat, motivated badass. That cliche of a person “lighting up the room” when they walk in? That’s her. Now though? She’s had to move three times to avoid bombs, and even though she’s safe now, she’s lost something that I don’t know if she will ever get back.
What I see in this picture of Zelenskyy is what I hear in her voice every time I talk with her. And it makes me fucking furious.
Yea, it’s heartbreaking to see comments like “I’d rather [xyz] than give another billion to Ukraine.” Just no words. I wish these people at least had the courtesy to shut the fuck up.
Once the government here in the US ends up in Jail, we’ll build a monument to Zelensky. The title might be something like “never forget to not be the nazi.” Or “never elect another trump/republican.”
American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
Probably one of the best leaders of any country.
Delete the first word of that post. Your post now starts with “One”, and from there you change nothing.
NOW your post is accurate.
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was less than 100 years ago. He was a damned good world leader IMO.
FDR was a great man but he was forged in the fires of a time far far worse. I shudder to think how bad things need to get before we get leadership like that back.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.
Also American. I fully and emphatically agree.
I still cannot believe we are betraying them, the Europe and featuring ourselves and I feel powerless to stop it.
Look for the protest actions, join them. Like, casually, just happen to be there.
You’ll probably find like minded people there and as you connect to more people, that hopelessness will go away!
1000%. Also American (regretfully, at this point).
Ok, full props to Zelenskyy. He is certainly doing a better job than any current leaders I can think of and he should have been able to count on the U.S. for full support. I would even support deploying our own troops.
But better than any leader the U.S. has had for 100 years? That’s quite the suck up. You can respect and support without being a blatant kiss ass. It’s embarrassing for you and for him.
Who among the US presidents has been better since Rosevelt?
Carter is the ONLY one who comes close.
FDR was still within the last 100 years though…
The guy who served 5 terms, started the cold war, and became the basis for why we needed the 2 term limit?
He served five terms because he was so good he was massively popular, the conservatives paniced and pushed for term limits afterwards as they were scared of the idea of people running with policies that benifted the majority of people repetedly getting long periods of power like that.
Words can’t describe how powerful this picture is to me.
🤣. He’s an actor/ clown. I can take pictures like that the same day
He’s taking down Putin, that’s an immense feat in itself.
He hates his own people.
Could have easily handled the situation without war, but he is a stubborn dickA few Ukrainians I know didn’t like him as president before the war but are very proud of what he’s doing.
Being a stubborn dick might be a quality when you have to fight an invasion.
Sure Ivan.
Go read through “Foundations of Geopolitics,” think of recent Russian history, and reconsider your statement
uhhh, Trump, brainwash, Trump, stupidity, Trump… *drooling on Lemmy.
Mad respect for the man. He really loves his country. Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note. This is what a true badass does when a lot is at stake.
Spoiler Alert: They won’t
Dude’s country is being attacked by the “second army in the world” and he says “I don’t need a ride I need ammunition.”
I’m amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.
Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note.
That’s the thing, many politicians don’t care.
Reminds me of this pic of Lincoln.
O, the Rail Splitter. You know what they say about good deeds never going unpunished. As my dad used to say, “only the good die young”. Then he died at 59. He was a piece of shit. So now I don’t even know what to think
The good are more likely to be killed by the evil, but there is no karma. Sometimes good guys die for no reason, and sometimes bad guys do too.
Almost like we’re just another species of animal floating on a rock in the vastness of space.
Looks like Doctor McCoys brother
He and Andy Serkis are aging remarkably similarly
Damn you. Now I will never unsee this. It never even crossed my mind until you cursed me.
Like the Obama photos, but with war included. That shit ages a person. Even a president.
I have been re-watching servant of the people, and it’s just so apparent the amount of stress this man deals with on a daily basis. What a fucking hero.
