2. Substance-free courtesy call after he was shot.

"Traditionally diplomatic" I take as meaning nothing of substance.

They're not going to slam someone during or right after a call like that.

3. So what?

Zelenskyy is being polite. He's not likely to say he listened to a pack of lies. This is another of the posts that seem determined to run Joe Biden down.

Donald: Hello Vodkamyr! How are you doing? How's the weather in, in, in ...
Volodymyr: In my mobile office?
Donald: Sure! Where's it parked?
Volodymyr: In a forest. Why do you ask?
Donald: Oh, friends are asking, and would love a souvenir from, from, from ...
Volodymyr: Oh, I get it. Yes. From Chernobyl!
Donald: Sounds great. Can you get me the GPS? My phone fell during a, uh, birthday party in PA.
Volodymyr: OK. My assistant will get that for you. I hope your party went well, and many happy returns of the day.

8. Zelenskyy just called Biden this past week.

He knows what's at stake. This is meaningless, if its even true. Sorry, I have doubts about anything the media says happened. Unless I saw it, there's a question of its accuracy.

9. Zelenskyy is a head of state.

It was the proper thing for him to call Trump.

No one should doubt what Zelenskyy thinks of Trump. But diplomacy is part of the job.
