Comment on Zelenskiy news is a farce and it is infuriating to see Goebbels' Garbage here

Remember that Zelenskyy was an actor before he was a politician.

The purpose of the staged show was to reinforce that Europe needs to protect Ukraine and can no longer rely on America.

Zelenskyy did a great job with his facial expressions. Really sold the emotions.

Now he’s in Europe asking for money and regrouping. The performance hammered home that America is out of the game. That was the point.

It is an action to dramatize and broadcast the mismatch in priorities between two world leaders who built their careers on television. Closing a relationship is an action. It was done on stage because that is a setting where these men are comfortable and where their fans are accustomed to seeing them.

This is the same brand of thinking that props up the flat earth community.

Everything’s a conspiracy and everyone but “us” is in on it.

  Trump’s white house chose to broadcast that conversation. That was a conscious choice.

Are you saying Zelenskyy was somehow “in on it”?

  I think they are saying that Zelenskyy knew what was going to happen and played it to his advantage.

  Zelenskyy probably read the room and had a plan in case something like this was going to happen.
  
  Zelenskeyy walked away from this showing that the breakup with the USA wasn’t his fault and that he was willing to explore costly options for peace provided there were security guarantees. He then immediately went to Europe to tie up his support there.
  
  If the USA is no longer going to support Ukraine, that was a great show to shift the blame onto Trump.

  Improv is an important part of acting.

  Are you saying Zelensky didn’t know how it would go?

    There’s a difference between being “in on it” and “knowing how sth is going to go”. Also, I don’t know, I have no idea how the man thinks. But insinuating that the entire thing was staged by ALL participants working together, as this post seems to do (and I’m asking if that’s the case), is a bold claim.

    Oh, I didn’t think that was what op meant. I think he meant Zalensky knew what was going to happen, and intentionally chose to walk into it so he could then pivot and show Europeans that America is out. I didn’t think it was scripted. But expected.

“facial expressions” ?
You mean the more than obvious sniffing, twitching of a hardcore cokehead?
