If my country declared a senseless war on a smaller country, was ridiculed in the process and the leader still got a 77% approval, I’d consider that a sickness, not a strength
Seismic shift if I ever saw one, goddamn!
Wait until the body bags start arriving in major metropolitan areas instead of the Siberian backwoods.
Cool. Only another 4 or 5 genocidal wars and he might lose the majority support.
That’s still way too high. I get why Russians love him; they consider him a saviour after Russia got royally fucked by the West – snapping up bankrupt state companies at a bargain price while barely blinking an eye about lawlessness – following the turmoil after the iron curtain got shredded. But idolising one person despite the many many mistakes is just silly.
I do feel that Zelensky needs to be watched very carefully as well once this war is concluded. He’s currently the darling who can do no wrong – will he uphold the democratic system or will he use his influence and aura to create a state filled with his cronies so he can basically be leader for life? The latter will be very tempting…
5 fucking %?
That’s what you lose for a faux pas in a press conference in a normal country.
