"I am asking now, and stating this openly, for the U.S. to help me. Together with our European partners, we can ensure the security needed to hold elections. If that happens, Ukraine will be ready to conduct elections in the next 60 to 90 days," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
That whole thing has blown my mind this entire time about how this is going to be covered in the history books. “So yeah, Jimmy Kimmel got elected to the presidency—yeah, the ‘girls jumping on trampolines’ guy, him—and then two years later, the country was invaded. …Oh, by who? Sorry, uh, it was…Satan, yeah.”
We’ve gone pretty deep into Anime plot territory at this point. The asymmetry of Zelenskyy leading a nation that Putin is invading, and then going on to hold his own for five years, is just astounding.
From what I understand he was a satire guy? So lsss like corolla, more like early 00s Jon Stuart or late career elder statesman steve-o?
But don’t quote me on that.
I would vote for Steve-O for president!
