Latest S2 Update on Ukraine

Yes, he did, which is a horrible decision and tells us everything we need to know about him, but Zelensky is just as evil, to be perfectly honest. Both are pretty equal in the depth of their depravity.

Zelensky's net worth is approaching a Billion dollars.  Wonder how many people think of this first.

Putin's personal net worth was 'estimated' to be in excess of 600 Billion back at least a decade (maybe two now) ago.  He was reputedly among the top five richest people on the planet.

People ... aren't people like you and me ... when they amass so much wealth.  It's why we can't understand their decision making processes.  It's why we hear stories of why Hillary Clinton was so abusive to staff employed by the White House.  Why Sylvester Stallone won't allow staff in his house to even look at him.

Know what the common denominator is for all of 'em?  (1st half) They want to remain out of the public eye.  The only time you 'see them' is when there's a chance for another un-earned gain ... something they don't have to put too much of a personal effort into to realize .(2d half) They don't want to go broke.

You got it. Zelenskyy is throwing out as many sob stories as he can because 1) he's backed into a corner by Russia, 2) he needs all the help he can get, and 3) if he has to start WWIII and put the world at risk just to save his country, he's willing to do it. The stories we've seen come out of the media have been nothing short of emotional and full of red flags. The museum Russia bombed that was supposedly hiding children inside of it, for example. If you're hiding children, why do you have a sign outside that points to children hiding inside? The way I see it, the museum was hit with a missile/bomb and then "Children" was painted so Zelenskyy could say "SEE! Now he's bombing buildings that he KNOWS have children inside of them! Join me now!" Same with the hospital, same with the story about Russians going into maternity wards to kill pregnant women and newborn children. Just doesn't add up.

Ive stopped listening to Zelenskyy a long time ago, pretty much as you have mentioned. Still think Putin got irritated at all the graft and corruption the West was dealing in Ukraine and he said screw that if anybody is going to bleed them out it's gonna be me. No doubt Zelenskyy has made bank as well as those propping him up, the slant from our media is ridiculous.

 it wasn't just militarily it was being frozen out and economically from Ukraine, that drove Putin, doesn't make invading right but here we are.
