Perhaps all political careers must end, inevitably, in failure. But few politicians have had careers as meteoric, as surprising, as consequential or as heroic as that of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.Owen Matthews (The Spectator)

If Ukraine is very lucky, it may find another leader of Zelensky’s strength and calibre.
Holy shit this is fucked up.
I wish everyone who thinks like this to actually experience living under a ~~sadistic murderous dictator~~ glorious leader like Zelensky who will ~~kidnap you, your friends, your brother, your father, your son and send you all together into the meatgrinder~~ lead you to victory over the "orcs"..
Those people are truly fucking sadists...

House Speaker Mike Johnson Rejects Biden Request for Additional Ukraine Spending
House Speaker Mike Johnson Rejects Biden Request for Additional Ukraine Spending - News From Antiwar.com
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday rejected a request from President Biden to include additional spending for the proxy war in Ukraine as part of a continuing resolution Congress is expected to pass before the end of the year.News From Antiwar.com
“As we predicted and as I said to all of you, weeks before the election, if Donald Trump is elected it will change the dynamic of the Russian war on Ukraine, and we’re seeing that happen,” Johnson told reporters, according to The Hill.“So, it is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now, we have a newly elected president and we’re going to wait and take the new commander in chief’s direction on all that so I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now,” he added.
I am so tired of hearing brain rotted ghouls using this argument. Obama couldn't appoint supreme court justices because he was leaving office either. Americans need the power to recall elected officials and so do all the states that don't have that right for their reps.

It makes me feel so nostalgic.
I still remember trying something alien called Linux on an old Dell Laptop (and also on my Playstation 3) I had inherited from my dad's company. It was good that everything worked out of the box because I had not technical knowledge. I can't know for sure but I guess it was a version of Ubuntu between 6.XX and 8.XX.
Then it was Linux all the time, until having a Windows dual boot in the mid-2010 before switching back to Linux fully at the beginning of the 2020's.
No more Ubuntu though since I fell in love with Fedora.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Looks like Zaluzhny has been rubbing shoulders with conservatives in the UK, convincing them that he should be the next president of Ukraine. I guess Zelenskyy thought Zaluzhny would bear his exile quietly, but he's been campaigning behind the scenes and some Western newspapers have called him a likely challenger to Zelenskyy. In Ukraine, Zaluzhny is supported by Klitschko and the neo-Nazis.
Zelenskyy's former and current cabinet/staff has seen the writing on the wall and is slowly jumping ship. Zelenskyy is hoping the West will give him a way out of Ukraine. Zelenskyy will be talking about victory and taking back Crimea as he climbs his plane's steps holding a big bag of cash.
Basically, everyone knows the war is over except Western liberals and Ukrainian diaspora.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Definitely. Zaluzhny is trying to present himself as a reasonable person, he was (publicly) against mass mobilisation and against the failed counteroffensive. Many expected him to go all out against Zelenskyy when he removed him from his position and sent him to London, but he didn't, he's a shrewd operator. The West also likes that Zaluzhny has the support of the neo-nazis, support Zelenskyy lacks. The real decision-makers in Washington and Bruxelles aren't stupid, they know what's really going on. Neo-nazis hold the power in the streets, many of the TCC guys are Nazis, the police lets them do it because the police too are Nazis. Whoever hopes to rule Ukraine needs to have the neo-nazis' consent, but if they can get their support that's even better.
Zelenskyy will be ousted before the war ends, his legacy will be of one of failure, and whoever replaces him (probably Zaluzhny) will oversee the peace negotiations and be hailed as the hero who saved Ukraine from destruction.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •If Zelenskyy passes that he knows that would be a death sentence. I think that's a red line for Ukrainians. That's why it has been a resounding no from all levels of the UA government (the only people for are the rabid nationalists and the neo-nazis). If they start mobilising 18yos there will be a coup. Because mobilising 18yos, means potentially mobilising 17, 16, 15yos, as in those current age groups might be old enough for mobilisation in the near future, depending on how long the war lasts.
It'd be a coup or a mass exodus, any teenager and their mother would be running for the border.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •How anybody can look at this regime and continue to insist that it's a democracy is beyond me. I doubt that this would qualify as a democracy even under neoliberalism's own backward criteria.
I remember that after I suggested that Ukraine is a military dictatorship, some dullards on meanwhileonthegrad made fun of me for mentioning how there are so many photos of Zelensky in uniform next to other military officials, even though I was very obviously not arguing that that proved my point, but it is pretty typical for anticommunists to ignore everything of importance by focusing on some trivia. (The superabundance of militaristic Zelensky photos is simply bad propaganda. It isn't a smoking gun for a military dictatorship. I don't care for them much.)
