Trump will backstab him before the week is out. A wast of time and assets for the European Leaders.

He’s definitely capable but this show of solidarity has been seen around the world and actions have consequences and I gotta believe that accountability will be required of him for democracy’s sake

i don't envy him at all, but standing up to evil dictators such as krasnov and putin seems to be Zelenski's talent.

i guess i'd go with rattler until a legit starter shows up?
