He rose to fame as the creator and lead actor in a TV series, Servant of the People, about a high school teacher who became president to fight corruption. A political party was named for the series. Then he decided to actually run on an anti- corruption platform and got 76% of the vote.

He has a law degree and chose to be a comic/ actor. He won the Ukraine version of Dancing with the Stars.

He is engaging in a public relations war with Putin and for now seems to be winning the propaganda game.

^^This^^

He is winning the propaganda game big time.

Putin's disinformation campaign just can't up.

He puts on a good show.

I think he has some issues. The 'showmanship' thing may be a problem.

He's great at putting out videos.

blah blah blah. IF anyone responding negatively were faced with 1/10 what he is, you would run screaming into the sewers like girls. heck, you cannot stand a twitter outage without retreating to a safe room.

He is supposed to surrender instead?

The civilians want to fight too.

Zelensky is an entertainer turned politician who seems to prefer theatricality over efficiency or pragmatism. You could argue that his decision to release criminals to fight will come back to bite him. In addition, the Russians are most notorious for this practice but Zelensky has overseen the banning of news channels that are deemed "propaganda" in nature with journalists winding up dead. Both Tulsi Gabbard and some Ukranian nationals have attested to this.

He's never been anything but an entertainer, no business or political experience. His TV show where he played the president was turned into reality. Wth. He didnt' do this all by himself! He is not really in charge. He probably CAN'T leave even if he wants to. He's playing a role of brave leader like Bill Pullman in Independence Day. I can't believe the world is falling for it.

The place is run by mobster oligarchs (and others) and Zelensky is a charismatic propaganda puppet.
