Zelensky has upgraded his iron balls

[relayerbob]

To hardened tungsten ones. He visited the troops in the salient in the eastern part of the country, where the heaviest fighting is occurring. Slava Ukraini, indeed!

1. Not one inch to Putin

These brave people are fighting to the death n they mean it. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

[PortTack]

6. Indeed! They know what would happen if they gave up. 85+% of the ppl in Ukraine say no, do not

Give them any land.

Slava Ukraine!

[Raine]

8. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people

are such an inspiration! ?️ I remind myself how courageous they are when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

[Samrob]

39. Putin is a coward and that should be made obvious to all his countrymen and women. nt

[Just A Box Of Rain]

2. The man certainly has moxie!

His courage has helped inspire his nation and the world.

Highest respect.

Sláva Ukrayíni!

[Raine]

3. 🌻💙 🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 💛🌻... 👍 nt

[PortTack]

4. Total and complete respect even from the Russians. They may hate him but they know he's a

Real leader!

[relayerbob]

7. Maybe they'll let him take over when Putin is tossed

It's a joke ... but it would also be the reformation of Kievan Rus, isn't that what Putin wants?

[PortTack]

42. It would be a good start!

9. Refusing to leave Kyiv was the best decision he ever made

Unlike a lot of world leaders who would have run to safety, he put his life on the line for his country. Even after Russian special forces almost got him and his family in the early days of the invasion, he didn't panic. He got ANGRY. A righteous rage that he used in his addresses to his people, and to the nations he asked for help from. He instantly became an inspiration to his troops, his citizens, and the world.

If he was a weaker man, the Russians would have overrun most of Ukraine by now, IMO.

He's rapidly becoming the 21st century equivalent of Winston Churchill.

12. Stalin refused to leave Moskva in 1943

Stalin showed some mettle when he rallied Russians to defeat the Hitler invasion. Remaining in Moscow when German troops were only a few miles outside the city was brave--and necessary.

It is a strain to think of anything good about Stalin, but here is one.

[GregariousGroundhog]

15. Stalin would have been labeled a hypocrite if he left Moskva.

After issuing Order 270 (Fight to the Last, 16 August 1941) and Order 227 (Not One Step Back!, 28 July, 1942), abandoning Moskva would probably have been an incredibly poor idea.

[former9thward]

18. Stalin was solely responsible for the initial Russian defeat and losses.

He murdered almost all of the military high command during the 1930s. Only inferior officers were left and they were too petrified to do anything.

[Ray Bruns]

32. And he ignored numerous intelligence reports of the German build up to the invasion.

21. That's '41, Kid

Christ, get the lines right if you're going to trot them out in public.

14. he's already there ! more ball's than a lot -- to ashamed of to say---

[brewens]

10. I wonder if they could intentionally leak phony visit plans to trick the Russians into

bombarding some place where the troops have been evacuated? I bet they'd fall for it once anyway. Let them waste a bunch of ordinance or whatever they send.

[towerbum]

16. that trick is older than Hitler's boxer short's !

[brewens]

27. Yeah, but the Russians evidently burned everything they learned from WWII, so it might work. :) n/t

[towerbum]

28. debatable, but we're talking about Putin !

he has not made a smart move yet ! his top brass has a very short life spann !

[OnlinePoker]

11. 100% he'll be Time's Person of the Year this year. n/t

[Stuart G]

13. Total Class Act!!

[lunatica]

17. I've developed a serious crush on him

34. In a way...

Hitler was on the front lines at the end of the war in Europe.

But it wasn't a very healthy stay.

[meadowlander]

24. Could we find another descriptor for courage than male genitalia?

[OMGWTF]

30. Exactly!

38. True, but women rarely fight wars

And saying Zelinsky has a tough pussy … wellllll, not going to work.

[housecat]

[usaf-vet]

35. Anyone know what he was handing out?

Boy, the handshakes were sure firm!

[relayerbob]

37. Medals of various types

He does that a lot, but usually in Kyif.

[usaf-vet]

40. That is what I thought but the first one looked like a large book. Rest looked like medals. Thanks!

[relayerbob]

41. Probably a higher level award

[IronLionZion]

36. Invite Putin to come over to the front lines

then call him out as a chicken when he refuses
