It is only being questioned by ruzzia and ruzzian agents. It is Kremlin talking point with no basis in reality, and the Kyiv Independent keeps going on about it!

A lot of people got gaslit by this misleading headline. Read the story! There's no confusion on the part of the article's writer - Zelensky is legitimate, everyone but Shitler and his puppet master Putin agrees that he's legitimate, and his approval numbers are up from even last December.

The draft dodger in chief’s real beef with Zelensky is the leadership, courage and clear-eyed-pragmatism the latter has approached the invasion of his sovereign country with.

Toughest thing Trump’s doughy little hands have done is choose an 8-iron over a 9.

I won’t even read it. He’s been there 3 years. Trump was in office 4 and he didn’t want to leave. So no, no where even to begin an essay.

Not sure why we are even having this discussion. Z is the legitimate elected president. It plays into the Russians hands but having this discussion. Putin is the fake leader with no legal legitimacy to be the president of Russia . We all know this yet we discuss Z . Let’s turn the narrative back .

Canadians aren’t confused. Most Americans aren’t confused. Even MAGAts aren’t confused - they simply don’t want to be honest.

We get it . He’s been gaslighting and lying to us for years.

Ukraine could be described as an aspiring democracy that is at war. It does not currently meet the criteria for electoral democracy or liberal democracy (as these terms are used in political science) because it is under martial law and cannot hold elections.

No explanation needed!

Nope, not confused.

If diaperdon hadn't sent his LOVER Putin COVID Testing Equipment back in 2020 when WE were looking everywhere for it ... Then Putin and the Whole Ukraine War wouldn't have happened .. It always leads back to OLD Poopypants https://www.npr.org/2024/10/08/nx-s1-5146501/trump-putin-covid-tests

steve3797.bsky.social•3 days ago

OLD Poopypants is still butthurt that he got caught trying to Extort Zelinsky to Lie about Biden .. It Got diaperdon Impeached ... The "Perfect Phone Call" ... I Have your aid but you have to do me a "Favor" ..

No one's "confused." The ruscian asset is finally repaying his overlords. 🤬

ronnig.bsky.social•3 days ago

Russia has been attempting to undermine Ukrainian democracy for years. Putin started this war. Russia is responsible for the atrocities in Bucha and Mariupol, among others. When you stick to facts, it’s simple to understand.

bookclayfood.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump’s a fool fueled by globe’s worst elements.
He surrendered to the Taliban.
And now, Trump’s surrendering Ukraine to Russia as he denudes America of government and military.
Anyone care to guess what’s next?

Why did Donald Trump sidestep question on whether Vladimir Putin is a dictator❓🤔

interdimensional.bsky.social•3 days ago

No one is confused.But whoever wrote this article, who is looking for attention. No one in the entire world is confused.And we don't listen to drug addicts, pedophiles, rapis.Ts and felons.

bigvally.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only people confused are the type of person who believes Trumps gibberish.

treebeemo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump may dodge US elections by instituting martial law. He will cite Zelensky to shut up critics.

suezw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Be aware he might start a war with Canada, Greenland or Panama.
This is what Putin does when he's suffering in the polls.
Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea/Ukraine I, Ukraine II.
Always a fig-leaf type of casus belli first though. 🙄

treebeemo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good observations thank you! And we mustn’t forget the Moscow apartment building bombings of 1999, KGB got caught planting live bombs, Chechnya was blamed, justifying the second Chechen war

I’m not confused, Churchill didn’t have an election in the UK during WW2, he only called an election after Hitler blew his brains out all over the bunker.

Why is trump dumping on Ukraine?

Spoiler alert 🚨

The orange buffoon is a lying fucking idiot 🤘🏽

Not confused in the slightest. Ukraine cant have an election in the middle of an all out war (obviously) and Trump wants Ukraine to have an election because Putin wants it. And Putin wants it because he wants to get a puppet installed instead of Zelensky.

babette70.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh we know why. Trump is finding it much harder to end this war than he thought so he is making up information, ie,lying, about Ukraine starting the war. I suppose some people in the US might believe it--the MAGAs.

gvgoebel.bsky.social•3 days ago

They don't exactly believe it. Trump runs a troll, they pick it up and run with it too.

unclemiekie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Zelensky should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. His dignity and moral character as a war-torn country leader speaks volumes. He is seeking true peace, not a personal exit at the expense of those who suffer.

Those confused, Trump, and GOP poltical lackeys. They fawn over his autocratic maneuvering, now blackmailing Ukraine's survival to steal their rare earth minerals. This from a war ravaged nation that needs to rebuild. Trump now demanding tribute for Biden and Congress' past grants in defending NATO.
