    Selenskyj is quite smart.

    I suppose it’s mostly a play for time so trump, who will for sure drop or backstab him and Ukraine, can’t do it right away without losing the wee bit of face trump has left.

      Perhaps Trump still wants that Nobel peace prize too, since Obama got one. So if Zelensky could convince him that that’s still possible, ideally, while Vance isn’t in the room, that might be good.

            Look at me, I’m power tripping and making ban decisions public! I’m also passive-aggressive in the end.

            I thought Lemmy was supposed to have 5-6 years before becoming unusable like Reddit? Or is it an European thing?

            Inb4 banned for stereotyping :D Do it.

              Well, shit, that was supposed to be a DM not a comment. Unfortunately, Photon has a somewhat unhelpful default to create comments rather than DMs as the explanatory response for removals. :/

              In any case, I don’t find it conducive to conversation to have to read stuff like “the blyats are at the border” etc. all the time. Feel free to disagree.

      I’m not sure how long he long he can keep on doing that though. History is full of rulers who smart at first, but burnt out over the time, AFAIK. It doesn’t seem sustainable psychologically.
