    I am Ukrainian and I was really proud of Zelenskyy and the way he interacted with new administration. He kept his cool while also letting them the current administration know (in a subtle manner) that there is a big gulf between their pipe dreams and reality.

      I’m American and I am in complete awe of Zelenakyy. Humanity gets so few people of his quality in a lifetime. He is truly inspirational.

        I feel like he is closer to the norm than we think. We should all strive to be like that, rather than relegating it to random chance. We should also demand more of our leaders.

          The best rulers are those who hate the idea of ruling. The best leaders are those who are thrust into the situation. What we should be taking away from all of this is that no one who wants power should be given any.
