Just my opinion

I Did hold Z in high regard. You may be persuading me to change my mind. We in SA also have the problem of better the devil you know, only because we’ve had worse.

Well it is good that you are free to publish your dislike of various aspects of the Ukrainian government and even of Zelensky. But if he goes, what stops a Putin puppet from taking over. You seem to hate Elon with a passion, but Elon has probably done more to improve life on this planet than anyone. And really his purpose has been to get the hell off of this planet. Ukraine was far more corrupt prior to this war. Going through the fire, tends to purify people. There are no saints out there. And if there were, they would not actually fight. So among those who choose to fight Russian aggression, you have only the choice of who is less imperfect. And it is important to pull together. Because pulling apart or in different directions, will lose everyone everything. Winning war is always a dirty business, do not anticipate otherwise. Try to be constructive with your critique. Tearing the guts out of your country will not help. Very easy to say, with 20/20 hindsight, well from my armchair quarter back position. This was wrong, that was stupid. No one has a crystal bal, that is why they call it the fog of war. Your goal should be to help with the ultimate purpose of your nation. And 80 % of what everyone does is going to be incorrect, statistically. So the thing is to find those who manage to actually get 20 to 30 % right. If you think Zelensky is getting more than 25% good decisions, then he is probably doing better than Churchill did in WW2. The only thing that made Churchill better than the rest of his parliament was the rest were all 100% wrong about Hitler. Look back at your life honestly and you will see how imperfect your decisions have been. Actually most people rewrite history in their mind to make themselves the hero of their own novel. But if you kept an honest journal, then you might see.

Where do you live now Denys?

I always appreciate your perspective on Ukrainian politics. Your desire for ending corruption in your country comports with me wanting to stop the corruption in my country (USA).

Bravo Denys

Thank you, Denys. I trust in Ukrainian people desire for freedom and democracy. Victory to Ukraine.

You keep doing you. Follower since the beginning. I am loyal, stay loyal. 🫶🏽🇺🇦🫶🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽🫵🏽💓💓💓🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 I was let go from a job I had held for 9 1/2 years. Of course it was… Because the secretary heard me breathe when I walked by her desk! Seriously. That's what they said. Personality issues! With Federov, that was a loss for the entire country.

You actually have a law against election in war time. That need to be changed. Or, that defense minister says, like putin, this is just a special military operation. If Ukraine people can live with that saying, yes, then you can have an election. But I feel sorry for all people in occupied parts. They can not wrote. Ukraine has big problem with corruption, of cource. Rome was not built on one day. But you do have a anticoruption buero. I heard something happened today actually Remember, if west all time hear you steal the money we send, we maybe believe it's useless. Its a balance here Denys. But yes, yermak was a disaster by zelenski. But he changed. Good enough.

Thank you, Denys, for this honest assessment. It is an unfortunate feature of corrupt systems that you have to cultivate the corrupt MFs in order to gain power - and then you find yourself trapped, permitting their continued foul rot. In this sense, I feel sorry for Zelensky. On the question of links with Musk, I think Winston Churchill put it well when Nazi Germany invaded the USSR: "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a positive reference to the devil in the House of Commons."

why are you not in Ukraine?

Opinions matter.

Love you man

Alex changed his haircut! It suits him better than the Beatles haircut.

Thanks Denys, for your refusal to join the blah blah brigade. Keep your honest opinion coming. It is needed in these troubling times. Victory to Ukraine!

Thanks again Denys. Eventually, there will need to be elections. Far from destabilizing Ukraine, elections will be needed to resolve the internal political tensions which are now building.
