A shill for what? Ukrainians?

I repeat what I have said for weeks. You are conflating the Zelensky government with "Ukrainians". The Russian invasion is wrong. I'm happy to agree with you on that. But it is not a simple substitution to say that "to support the Zelensky government is to support Ukrainians." I personally know Ukrainians who do not support Zelensky, even in the face of the invasion. You are erasing their voices by equating support for the current Ukrainian government with support for "Ukrainians". It's not that simple.

I am not really doing that. I've not mentioned Zelensky in my arguments. What's important is that there has been a process of removing pro-Russian corruption from government since 2014, with massive protests at that time. That has been a herocis process. So Zelensky emerges from this protest movement. Know how to make him a real hero? Invade Ukraine and slaughter thousands of innocent civilians. If his role in government was questioned earlier, it is however not questioned now, as he leads a powerful resistence against tyrany. Even those who didn't like him - just like those who didn't like the shithead, Churchill - will have to agree that he's at least doing his job, and can be compared with Churchill, in the fight against authoritarian tyrany. This for the people. Not the leadership.
