The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me? ~Orwell, 1984
Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.
JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?
ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.
JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?
ZELENSKYY: I love you.
JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?
ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.
JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?
ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.
And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.
JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?
ZELENSKYY: No.
JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?
ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.
@kpicord@JimmytheButt202@RasmusJarlov Nowhere in what you posted does it say that the "economy collapsed". Why? Because it didn't. This had very little economic impact.
@kpicord@JimmytheButt202@RasmusJarlov As can be confirmed that I'm here under my full name which is so Icelandic that only 7 people have had that name since the 13. century, only 4 of which are alive today. Whereas you operate under "Keith".
@Todd_Storm@krassenstein Yes Todd. Most of the world did. He was seen as a decent, reasonable man. The filth that America elected is seen as just that. Evil smelling filth.
@believeonjesus@krassenstein Is it then less powerful in former Soviet satellite countries than in long established, highly developed democracies? You realize that this is nonsensical, don’t you ?
The civilized world could absolutely wipe the floor with Putin's terror coalition once they actually wake up.
