Thanks for the analysis. We must all defend democracy and stand with Ukraine to stop Putin. Slava Ukraini.

No. He serves the people of his country’s interests. Imagine that.

Things must be really bad if the real Putin is out and about

He get a 5x9 dacha in Siberia.

russia's ready to grant Zelensky political asylum? I wanted to say perhaps he meant political elysium but that is for heroes on whom the gods have conferred immortality, and also what we aspire to as a Ukrainian nation (collectively but not individually) when we sing the anthem.

It's your time that's up matey.

The best joke. Zelensky will be happy to hear!
