Putin wouldn’t go anywhere near the front, let alone an active war zone.
What a boss.
Greatest leader of the 21st century
Balls
zelenskyy can take a selfie there because he DOESN’T give a f*ck
Funny enough, Zelenskyy also did take a selfie there because he is the rare national leader that DOES give a fuck.
So fucking badass.
Slava Ukraini!
Our generations Churchill.
“I need ammo, not a ride”.
Slava Ukraini!
I need ammo, not a ride
russian warship, go fuck yourself
They sure show the world pride, strength and resilience and teach us a couple of baddass one-liners while they are at it
Theres a lot of this, like this chad or that lovely lady. Ukrainians are witty as fuck, with dark slavic humor turned up to 11.
And they’ve been this way for quite some time: Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks
Churchill like most of his time, was a racist prick. Zelensky on the other hand…pure gold so far!
I’m more so suggesting it because Churchill stood for stopping Nazis and fascist. Zelensky is the same, just better.
Churchill was a bastard.
Fighting nazis might have been his only redeeming quality. I like Zelensky better.
That and helping create the welfare state and the UN
I wouldn’t compare him to Churchill. Churchill was a racist prick who contributed to a famine causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in India.
Millions of deaths.
Can’t wait for the biopic. He’ll probably star as himself and do all his own stunts!
Or butcher him make him a cuck and mamas boy like they butchered napoleon
For real.
Alone his living and actions have inspired me!!
And he’s a comedian, didn’t rise through the military.
Nore did he rise threw nepotism or industry. No he has the mandate of the people
random aside, i think Bill Burr would have serious chance at US presidency
Can you people just put somebody slightly serious in power? Seriously the fact that people now just accept that entertainment figures should be presidents is fucking horrifying. Why don’t you just vote for Barnie? After all he had some cool values like everybody doing their share while cleaning up.
bernie is too old to grab attention on his own, outside of vermont. good as an fountain of experience/knowledge to pull from but as long as the DNC are controllsd opposition any progressive going through official channels will be neutered or sabotaged
which is why (good) comedians are serious candidates, they cross the party divide easily. harder for the propagandized mainstream outlets to turn the crowd against em
most have seen more of the country/world than pretty much anyone else. got to have empathy, general attachment to humanity, and class class consciousness to punch up consistently. also experience dealing with the whole media landscape, playing a crowd, getting attention/word out there without needing to pay for it etc. most also tend to start from working/bottom class families
all most other politicians in the US have going for them is olde money connections and crony capitalism backing them
I said Barnie not Bernie, as in the big fucking purple dinosaur. Or maybe Elmo?
Idk who would poll better Barnie or Elmo.
oh, i figured that was a typo.
they would obviously be on the same ticket, elmo president barnie vp
BTW idk how many of those oh so ethical comedians have stolen jokes from other people. Loads of them are actually massive fucking dickheads, but you have your cool parasocial relationship with them so yeah they’re obviously qualified to be president. How about suggesting a labour organiser be president instead of a fucking clown a good labour organiser should have all the traits you just mentioned.
the presidency is a popularity contest, comedians are a much more realistic choice in a center-collapse scenario like the US is having.
US labor is disorganized as fuck, it’s honestly kind of pathetic.
Jesus Christ 🤦 When a movie star became the president in the 1980s people were horrified, shit has gotten so ridiculous in the United States that the average voter thinks a clown would be competent.
zelensky seems to be doing a fine job considering the circumstances. brains are not required to be a politician (probably a hindrance to most of em). they’re just nepo babies who would have amounted to nothing without their family name/connections
but you do actually kind of need brains to break into/stay successful in show business
Bill burr? I would think jon Stewart before Bill burr. But neither would want it.
both would work, nobody sane wants the position
Burr has that working-class esthetic popular with rural america, Stewart would probably come off as more “just another jewish liberal media personality” to the maga/racist/rural america crowd
Bill Burr would be harder/impossible for the conservative propaganda machine to spin against
His black wife would be a start, as well as his long outspoken hatred of trump, and killing rich people. (Sinking cruise ships)
Ya he could also take millions from the Saudis and be a free speech crusader. All those guys are hacks.
I don’t understand how he stands up straight with the huge brass balls he packing.

Maybe Putin should come and visit Kupiansk if he wants to prove him wrong.
He’s run out of lookalikes. Had to send them to the front.
I love soviet era political jokes. This one has that quality. 😚👌
In America there is free speech and you can always find a politician’s lookalike. In soviet Russia, politician lookalike find you!
In Putin’s Russia? Ehhhh… Dead, all dead. All of them dead. On frontline. Dead lookalikes everywhere. Terrible tragedy.
You won’t even know which hidey-hole he’s in right now.
He’ll just repeat the same bullshit about “inviting journalists”, the man’s allergic to going outside

Balls of Steel
A Guy with huge Cochones!
Well, there is putin in his bunker sitting at a table at 5 meters safety distance from his staff … And there is Zelenskyy, near/at the frontline with his men. Does not blink an eye with shots in the background. I’m sure he has shortcomings too, but i have got nothing but respect for the man. This guy has earned a significant place in the worlds history.
I think the point of this is that cojones were not even required to disprove yet another Russian lie.
Churchil and him have special seats in the afterlive and front row seats to shoving pineapples up hitlers/putins urethra
Was there a giant mirror out there?
Someone took a photo of him taking a selfie. They have all been deceived for a second picture was made.
But who took the photo of the second guy?!
Best reddit thread ever.
I’m gonna fuck your dead wife with my broken arm or something
Are you thinking of “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” which was a perfectly wholesome comment?
I think you misspelled “holesome”
I don’t think you understand the context of that reference, but it’s nice that you took as wholesome.
Someone said something nice about their wife in the context of having sex with someone one more time.
Other person said “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” as an agreement that the guy’s dead wife was pretty awesome.
Totally wholesome, the context doesn’t make it not so.
If you really want the selfie-type view, try this espreso link.
Huge
Most phones have a front camera nowadays, pretty much exclusively for photographing the user.
But how did he take a picture of himself from that far away?
We are seeing a photo of “Zelenskyy taking a selfie”, not the selfie itself.
But he’s by himself. Where are the mirrors?
In his eyeballs
“A picture of” is implied in the title.
The actual selfie was a live feed to Putin where Zelenskyy was shouting, “I don’t see no damn soldiers here, bro!”, followed by “If you want it, come and claim it!”. Then he unsheathed a big sword.
Still doesn’t top the video years ago of him doing a similar thing after Russian claims of hits, with Zelenskyy revealing he was sitting at the desk in the same location.
Did they “drone-proof” this whole street?
That’s what they do, yes. Unfortunately, it’s not fully drone-proof.
/edit: You can see it in this video, if you’re interested
The amount of optic fiber cables from drone use spread across fields is insane.
I don’t like this episode of drone wars
What a G
Can’t see it because I have
i.redd.itblocked. I’m really confused why images from that domain are constantly embedded on Lemmy.Nobody said it was going to be easy, fighting the corporate web.
But seriously: That’s only their image server. You can safely unblock it. Of course you’re still giving them your IP. If that bothers you I refer you back to the top of this comment.
it’s since people are manually crossposting from reddit; not sure why you’d block an image domain tbh
I have all corporate social media blocked. Why would I want to load content from Reddit, especially when I’m on Lemmy actively avoiding Reddit?
people are crossposting
What software uploads assets to Reddit then recycles the URL for embedding them on other platforms?
Your logic is flawed. This has reddit pay for Lemmy traffic. Its a reddit subsidy for Lemmy operating costs.
reddit = lemmy’s inofficial image uploader
My logic that I don’t want to connect to Reddit at all when I’m using Lemmy but that’s happening for who knows why? I understand how computers and networks work so I get it that Reddit shores up the hosting cost but that doesn’t really address the issue.
The reason sadly is extremism, probably fueld by idealism. Realism will help you discover the path to change instead of polarization and deadlock. <3
Yes blocking corporate social media domains to prevent being tracked and fingerprinted is extreme. Let’s write petty comments with sarcastic-ass hearts to continue virtual signaling and literally do the opposite of what we suggest.
how would loading content from i.redd.it hurt your mission/why wouldn’t you?
What softwar
i edited to add “manually”
Because it gives Reddit the power to harm Lemmy at a time of their choosing.
It’s going to take more than a few dead links to kill off the fediverse at this point.
You can find the source video on zelenskys YouTube channel
Looks like an iPhone 17 Pro
Sure it’s not the Pro Max? He’s got some good-sized paws, unlike some other world leaders.
You certain? He’s a fairly small person at around 170cm. I consider myself short at 173 and I was always near the tail end of the roll call at PE, sorted by height descending (it’s an eastern block thing).
I get that it’s a dig at the orange turd, but…
Either way, I don’t think Zelensky has any self esteem issues.
Based lol
