That's the important message here. This guy just happens to be the President of his country. He could have been Mother Teresa and the fact is the same: Russia invaded Ukraine and Ukrainians are defending their country.

Nobody disagrees with that.


And if that's the way American corporate media portrayed it, we'd be just fine with that.


But, instead, it's like the new COVID mask.


"Ukraine is like the best country that has ever existed, and like totally are a democracy, and there is no racism there like in our horrible country. In fact, Ukraine is better than America damn it! Plus, Trump!!!!!"


Now raise the yellow and blue! Or is it the blue and yellow? Some people have had it upside down as of late...


Either way, you can loathe Putin and think this invasion is wrong without elevating Zelensky to Nelson Mandela status.

And Russia attacked for the same reason NATO attacked Yugoslavia.
But yet we were heralded as the good guys in that conflict. Why? Because we have better propaganda.

Throughout history very few leaders of their countries have risen to the moment as this man. I don't care what he did before he became President. Who cares he transmitted a pre-recorded message at the Grammy's. The man walks the talk....he puts his words into action...showing us that he means what he says by actively doing it himself. I've never seen anything like it.

Wow. I know if I gave a damn about the Grammys, I'd sure want my musical preaching circumvented by political nationalist war time preaching from a lesser evil than Vladimir Putin.


The Revolution will not only be televised, pop culture must be politicized.


Get on board or else.
Russian apologist.

Throughout history very few leaders brought their people to the brink of disaster as Zelensky did, in the name of questionable goals, with the help of shady means, all while claiming the spotlight of someone else's show time.

He could have tag his "close adviser" Arestovich along with him - these two adventurists could easily share the same podium and bask in the same light at the Grammys.

May be the Democrats supporting the marching Nationalists with tattooed swastikas is no less "bizzaro world"?
