The Ukrainian leader's climb-down on security guarantees may be because the US is the only place he can turn to, writes BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse.
I don’t think Zelensky is the hero everyone is making him out to be. He’s a regular guy in an unenviable position. He’s not doing a spectacular job one way or the other.
I feel like most of the reverence surrounding him is just fluff and propaganda.
The NATO bloc is generating it because it benefits them to make their own citizens think the war in Ukraine is going spectacularly well. It’s for morale.
It might be ignorant, but I certainly don’t get the impression at all that things are going well in Ukraine despite being exposed to this propaganda, nor do I see how it benefits NATO for its citizens to believe so. It seems to me that believing Russia is weak would make people value NATO less.
But thanks for stopping by to insult me for asking a question, really love that attitude.
And here I am discussing, trying to not disregard ideas I am cynical of, and instead ask questions to gain understanding. Apparently that is discouraged here.
Thank you for the resource, next time lead with that and skip the insults.
