Churchill and Roosevelt could not hold a candle to this man.
Pretty sure the UK literally endured the same amount of stress and terror as Ukraine, given that the Germans dropped tens of thousands of bombs on their major cities for years.
Yes but Britain did it with the world’s biggest navy and a significant defense industry
Plus Churchill was a racist asshole.
Churchill was indeed an asshole, no argument there.
For what it’s worth, Britain probably didn’t suffer as much as Ukraine has. The actual island of Great Britain was more or less secured after the aerial battle of Britain was won, and that took less than a year. Military casualties would go on to be comparable to the war in Ukraine, of course, and there was the ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone, but Britain at least had the sea and a massive navy standing between it and the enemy and civilian casualties were “only” about 70,000
Look at the dates. Most of those are from 1940. The most intense of the attacks happened in a span of 6-9 months.
The war in Ukraine has been going on for 3 years now. Russia drops significantly larger bombs on Ukraine. Even important historical buildings are being levelled.
(Not to minimize what the British had to endure btw, war does a horrible number on you regardless)
With all due respect mate, I am British, I do understand the toll of the Blitz. I’m just conscious of the fact that Ukraine has basically been suffering the same conditions for far longer, as pointed out by the other reply. That isn’t an attempt to downplay what Britain suffered, but rather to properly recognise the severity of what Ukraine is suffering. I’m sure I don’t need to send photos of the damage done by Russia.
ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone,
That’s true as the British government encouraged the people to eat plant-based meals to have enough foods for everyone to get through the ordeal.

To be fair, both of them were pruned up and wrinkly old men before any war started.
Absolute hero this man, every European and democratic country should hope to have its own Zelenskyy.
He wasn’t always like this, he was a normal person, a good comediant, but when great and heavy responsibilities come, you change with the times, and for this man, times have been hell. I don’t want to be him, knowingly sending my troops and young people to die because of a (insert a bad word for Putin).
I bet many people, professional politicians, people with no principles that care only about money, would’ve run away leaving their country to suffer. This man had the strength to change and demand help for his own people, that makes him great honour.
If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.
He ran for the office. What was accidental about it? Was it a joke campaign?
I don’t know/remember many details of what I’ve read, but I think the campaign built a lot on the comedy show (there are a few short videos on YouTube with subtitles)
Trump posts crap like this to truth social
FYI if you use the link flag and place an ! in front we will see the image here without clicking.
Cheers, I was in two minds about embeding it but thought it was also useful to see where the link went to and that it actually was on truth, at the same time I didn’t want to push traffic direct to trumps profile 😂
Is the left Elvis?

That’s fucking hilarious.
‘Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I’m basically like him!’
‘Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I’m basically like him!’
But seriously, can he be like Elvis in this specific way?
Loool!
Someone take a recent normal photo of thump and put it on the right side please 😂
That’s a face that has seen a lot of death
I feel bad for him, he is trying his best yet we got people like Dump bullying him on the global stage for not wearing a suit and “not doing enough”
This was me after the first season of White Lotus.
I’m afraid to see what you look like after the second season. Lol.
lol Sicily! I’m working on that pasta face right now.
Are you high on drugs? Because it sounds like you are.
Depends on what you consider drugs. And high. I’m 2700m above sea level and drinking coffee. Is that what you were thinking numb skull?
No, it doesn’t. Rational, sane people do not think the way you do.
I suggest you get treatment for your hallucinations before you kill someone.
Projecting very hard buddy. Give the phone back to your mommy and go wash your ass between the cheeks. With soap this time.
Was that the Hawaiian season? I don’t remember it really hitting that hard in terms of being sad, but it’s been awhile since watching it. Newest season is great so far, though.
Ha-wha-ee, yes. The cinematography was spot on. Writing too. The Aussie lad was toxic af tho. Looking forward to S2.
Perhaps you might feel differently if you bothered to watch the second season.
It’s pretty obvious that you did not.
Uh, what? I definitely did… Tanya’s character wasn’t that tragically sad, IMO. She was actually kind of a selfish asshole. There’s no other connection between S1 and S2 besides her character that I can recall.
She did those “gays” quite dirty tho - her words, not mine - and yes, was sloppy on the dismount.
Wow, you are the paragon of overthinking
This isn’t Star Trek or Doctor Who. The continuity is irrelevant, if you can’t handle that, then this isn’t the show for you.
Blaming everyone else on the entire planet, but yourself just because of the fact that you, especially, don’t “get it” is not a reasonable nor rational thought process or reaction.
Ah, so you’re a moronic troll. Got it. Have a good one.
Having worked in that industry it was entertaining but otherwise meh 🤷

What a bizarre take. This isn’t a “Zelenskyy didn’t put on his face this morning” post.
What a needlessly aggressive reply…
Maybe. I just feel bad about making a meme out of the guy.
Is not a meme its a comment on the toll of war
It’s not a meme. It’s just an interesting picture. Powerful and moving. Definitely not done is disrespect.
A meme? I’m over here looking at this image with a tear in my eye thinking back about how the war has evolved. I really don’t see what you see.
“Meme” does not mean “picture”.
The point is that Zelenskyy has undertaken a great deal of stress during this trying time, as many Ukrainians have. The exhaustion written on his face is saddening, because it reflects the weight of the troubles assailing Ukraine, but it also shows that he is a great man, undertaking these burdens when lesser men would have fled or given up.
I am suspecting that before the spectacle they likely were trying to bribe him to just let Russia win and he didn’t do it, so they used this to beater him and switch sides.
I’m not well informed regarding Ukrainian leadership, but what I do know is that there were men who would have taken the money and do what papa putin says. That’s the difference between Zelensky and the others: he was not open to take money.
(I’m not saying everyone else of previous leadership was corrupt.)
So yeas you’re right, they tried to bribe him :)
Reminds me of this pic of Lincoln.
O, the Rail Splitter. You know what they say about good deeds never going unpunished. As my dad used to say, “only the good die young”. Then he died at 59. He was a piece of shit. So now I don’t even know what to think
The good are more likely to be killed by the evil, but there is no karma. Sometimes good guys die for no reason, and sometimes bad guys do too.
Almost like we’re just another species of animal floating on a rock in the vastness of space.
Looks like Doctor McCoys brother
asdf
also different expression and the beard
Those things are the point though…
American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
1000%. Also American (regretfully, at this point).
I still cannot believe we are betraying them, the Europe and featuring ourselves and I feel powerless to stop it.
Look for the protest actions, join them. Like, casually, just happen to be there.
You’ll probably find like minded people there and as you connect to more people, that hopelessness will go away!
Probably one of the best leaders of any country.
Delete the first word of that post. Your post now starts with “One”, and from there you change nothing.
NOW your post is accurate.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.
Also American. I fully and emphatically agree.
Ok, full props to Zelenskyy. He is certainly doing a better job than any current leaders I can think of and he should have been able to count on the U.S. for full support. I would even support deploying our own troops.
But better than any leader the U.S. has had for 100 years? That’s quite the suck up. You can respect and support without being a blatant kiss ass. It’s embarrassing for you and for him.
Who among the US presidents has been better since Rosevelt?
Carter is the ONLY one who comes close.
FDR was still within the last 100 years though…
The guy who served 5 terms, started the cold war, and became the basis for why we needed the 2 term limit?
He served five terms because he was so good he was massively popular, the conservatives paniced and pushed for term limits afterwards as they were scared of the idea of people running with policies that benifted the majority of people repetedly getting long periods of power like that.
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was less than 100 years ago. He was a damned good world leader IMO.
FDR was a great man but he was forged in the fires of a time far far worse. I shudder to think how bad things need to get before we get leadership like that back.
Like the Obama photos, but with war included. That shit ages a person. Even a president.
I have been re-watching servant of the people, and it’s just so apparent the amount of stress this man deals with on a daily basis. What a fucking hero.

Mad respect for the man. He really loves his country. Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note. This is what a true badass does when a lot is at stake.
Spoiler Alert: They won’t
Dude’s country is being attacked by the “second army in the world” and he says “I don’t need a ride I need ammunition.”
I’m amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.
Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note.
That’s the thing, many politicians don’t care.
