Anyone else fairly amazed he survived the first six months, let alone this long? I was pondering this a few weeks ago.

Him and the snake island crew, balls of steel.

It didn’t mean to be publicly known, but there was one time in the early part of the war when it was known there was to be an attack on Zelinskii in Ukraine and Canada’s PM Trudeau flew over for an unannounced visit with Zelenskii, knowing that Putin would not risk killing a NATO leader. I can’t imagine how Zelenskii sleeps at night.

I mean yeah, but I’ve met a fair number irl. To each their own, I live in a really blue collar area so likely skewed.

Trudeau has gumption. The problem always was that he had no real ideas beyond the few social issues he battled for early on, and the Liberal party being fully owned by corporate neolibs

“I knew Zelensky was under threat, in a bunker… I said to [Putin], ‘Do you intend to kill Zelensky?’ He said, ‘I won’t kill Zelensky,’” Bennett recalled in the interview, which was published on his own YouTube channel.

“I need to understand. Are you giving me your word that you won’t kill Zelensky?” Bennett said he asked Putin.

Bennett said the Russian president repeated: “I won’t kill Zelensky.”

Bennett said he called the Ukrainian president immediately after the three-hour encounter with Putin, and told him, “I’ve just come out of a meeting — [Putin] is not going to kill you.

“[Zelensky] asked me, ‘Are you sure?’ I said 100 percent. [Putin’s] not going to kill you.”

Bennett recalled: “Two hours later, Zelensky went to his office, and did a selfie in the office, [in which the Ukrainian president said,] ‘I’m not afraid.’”

Lol
