  • I think, or at least hope, that the downvotes come from people who don’t understand what it means to “play the game”. Politicians don’t act the way we’d all like (i.e. telling Trump to go fuck himself) because it’s not playing the game. Zelensky didn’t go to that extreme, but didn’t back down and capitulate either. I hope that when you say he’s a terrible politician, you mean that positively to some degree; he didn’t fully “play the game” with regards to Trump.

    That being said, there’s no winning here. There wasn’t gonna be a negotiation there anyway, he was gonna get screwed no matter what.
