A very good preamble which makes it clear that the interview was not and cannot be perfect simply due to the language issues. Thus, it’s important to forgive President Zelensky for the way he expresses himself through an interpreter. The interview was, of course, also a very good one.
I hope that every person in the free world will see this interview. Perhaps this will give them a better understanding about Ukraine, russia and this war, and about fake news, lies, and propaganda that swarms the Western world from the crime syndicate known as the russian terrorist federation.
Roman Sheremeta’s take on the interview ;
“A powerful response by President Zelenskyy to Lex Fridman who tries to tell him that Putin “loves his country.”
To be honest, I was very disappointed by Lex Fridman. I have to assume that he is simply naive or brainwashed by the russian propaganda.
His questions and entire interview were framed around russian propaganda. Not once did he mention russia kidnapping Ukrainian children, destroying churches, raping, torturing, and executing Ukrainian people on occupied terretories.
Instead, Fridman asks about elections, even though every informed person knows Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime. He talked about Putin loving his country. He pushed an agenda of appeasing the aggressor.
Zelenskyy did great. But I am very disappointed with Fridman.”
I think Zel was fantastic; putting up with a stream of fatuous questions and answering with great sincerity and charm. I don’t know how he does it!
Fridman was influenced partly by magaputler shit, but somehow Zel won him over!
” I don’t know how he does it!”
Zelensky learned how to do it. Think about some of the people he had to deal with since this war began. Think about the mountain of bullshit he was forced to listen to, the lame excuses, the lethargy, the too-little-too-late actions, and so forth. Fridman was just a little fry for him.
