Zelensky is a bit like a CEO presenting his company’s prospects. He was talking like this two years ago, too.
I personally think he’s not wrong. Just - until Kremlin gang’s members and their families are being caught and jailed\deported all over the globe, or at least in NATO countries, this is all bullshit. Well, maybe after failing in Ukraine they’ll attack some smaller and weaker country, just to show themselves they can defeat someone. And maybe they’ll try again.
In any case - yes, that leadership keeps Russia weak, inefficient, dependent, but as everyone can see, it’s also capable of destruction on scale too big to allow. So maybe some optimism should be applied and the goal be for Russia’s regime to change and for it to have a democracy that may make its potential useful for everyone around. The “keeping it weak” approach, after all, has already led to Putin.

Seems like my life. Except I live with my mom and she’s a hoarder. I’ve assembled three metal racks in place of piles of stuff where those were unbearable. So - I had some place where I wanted to stick the fourth, except I can’t remember what it was, it doesn’t seem to fit anywhere (racks are a desperate measure, actually furniture should only be thrown out here). And the usual with getting perpetually distracted from work (at least I kinda get it done).
