He is literally an actor in the true meaning of the word.
When observing his actions we should keep this in mind.
He is not supposed to make sense at all!
Like Biden his role in the theater is that of a clown, so taking him seriously will just confuse the observer.
If the purpose was for Ukraine to “win” or be remotely successful then they would use a different puppet.
Someone who could at least give some sense of being competent and with the ability to actually rally the troops with morale to be victorius.
If you compare him to lets say Putin for the sake of my argument.
Putin has all the traits of a “Winner” he is rational and behaves with dignity in the public.
Whereas Zelensky has the demeanor of a fumbling cocaine addict.(He always sniffs and scratches his nose etc)
Now i hope you understand my point here, im not putting any of my own values in the argument.
And im not claiming Putin being some kind of saint or hero.
Im talking about the optics being displayed when they are in public and making statements etc.
