Tch tch. Kids these days.missed the movie reference you are trying to allude to.
I know. That's what happens when a former actor/comedian with no political experience is placed in charge of a nation on populist grounds, if indeed that answers any question regarding where Zelensky actually "came from".i have said earlier the smart way for putin to undermine ukraine (and no one would have done jack s**t about it) would be to fund and organise a counter coup to remove zelensky. that would likely have worked (his popularity was falling before the war was lauunched) and other countries would not have interefered. Putin was too greedy/ impatient/ stupid.
Certainly makes a good wartime leader though. Knows his lines, plays the role to perfection. Although he did have some practice beforehand of course.
I don't think the Russians are, or perhaps have ever been, as... sophisticated... as the USA politically. Note there that I'm using the word sophisticated only as a measure of difference, not as a general descriptor. Sophistication, in general, is in rather short supply.
