A comedian in the Ukraine, a d-bag in the WH. Sweet.

Yes. Damn NATO for forcing Russia to invade the Ukraine. Damn NATO all to hell!

This probably helped:
Zelensky has insisted that as leader he would demand Putin end Moscow's occupation of Ukrainian territory and pay compensation for the conflict.

Their president is a comedian and ours is a joke. It feels like I'm living in a Marx Brothers movie.

You don't understand that the Russian military is not called NATO.

Congratulations to Zelensky. Hope he is successful.
The 41-year-old performer's bid started out as a long shot but, on the back of popular discontent with the political class, he sent establishment candidates tumbling.
2016 U.S. election, anyone?

Many/most Ukrainians speak Russian (and Ukrainian, obviously). From my experience, many eastern euros speak multiple languages i.e their own, Russian, German, some English etc. Pretty smart/educated ppl if you ask me.

Poroshenko and Zelensky are both of Jewish origin, but while the former is a corrupt businessman and bore who takes himself too seriously, the latter is a talented comedian whose inimitable Jewish shtick combined razor-sharp instincts won him a landslide victory. Comparisons with Trump are superficial since Zelensky is a smart professional comedian while the Trump is merely a buffoon and a dullard to boot whose unintended ability to make us laugh derives from his Dunning-Kruger persona and his utter haplessness.
