    That’s not an “outburst,” that is simply being open and transparent. What does a things that I really respect about Zelensky is how open, transparent and honest he is when discussing national issues. He has done a lot to rain in corruption, it obviously the resistance against the Russian invasion.

    Western leaders would do well to take notice of what he has done and to heed the warnings about outside influences corrupting their own populations and politics.

      If Xi slightly raised his voice, it would be the end of the world but when Zelensky throws a fit in public, surrounded by world leaders, it’s fine.

        Xi fired missiles over the heads of my friends and family because our country had a visitor he didn’t like.

            No, I’m sure it was all perfectly safe and a very cool and normal thing to do. It was a bit different from ‘slightly raising his voice’ though which is what you originally said.

              You’re taking things out of context.

              But replying to your comment, I understand your point of view, demonstrations of power for the sake of defending national interests are only fine if the US does it. Did you know they transported a NUKE to a place near Cuba recently? So cool, right?

                Nice set of high velocity goalposts you have there, friend. I don’t think I ever condoned anything done by the US, just called you out on your original statement.

                  If you’d like I can recommend you some touch typing software to improve your abilities.

                  I don’t think I ever condoned anything done by the US

                  It’s impossible to condone any action America takes unless you’ve been brainwashed by liberal-controlled media.

                    Not sure what you mean by the touch typing thing, sorry.

                    If that’s really your view on the US though, that’s pretty extreme and you might want to question why you might hold such a view. As much as I hate the CCP, I don’t think I could say in good faith that it’s impossible to condone any of their actions at all.

                    Anyway, hope you’re having a good one wherever you happen to be.

        One is a leader of a totalitarian state, the other is fighting against a numerically superior enemy who throws out nuclear threats Like they’re Pokemon cards. You really can’t compare the two.
