Salute to Zelensky... A leader is one who leads.

If I remember correctly the movie Independence Day, the President joined the fight against the aliens. In the same spirit, Zelensky is fighting for his nation. One of a kind. While he was a comedian who was elected and became a true leader, others were elected as leaders but turned out to be only comedians.

Proud of NATO. They are doing absolutely everything they can besides starting WW3. America needs to learn from Ukraine. They could do what Putin expected them to do. Loot, riot, fight one another. But they United. Stood TOGETHER. What would happen if this happened here? We need to unite. We are brothers and sisters. The UNITED States of America. Praying for Ukraine. ❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇦

Amazing turnaround by German chancellor 👍 amen

[Cwgrlup]

Lots of talk about “inspiration” but watching citizens having to fight a war against soldiers is actually sickening and sad.

[margaretakuffo]

God bless you president Zelensky, you are a real leader and a hero

[haruruben]

“He’s the kind of leader I’d want to go into combat with” that is very high praise from someone as experienced and well respected as Admiral Stavridis.

[michaelyuan]

Uber, Lyft, other ridesharing services, and even public transportation authorities should start offering “Rides for ammo for Ukraine.” Many people should be willing to pay more for their rides if the money will buy more ammo for Zelenskyy.

As someone who plays Warhammer Total War, I can tell you having someone like Zelenskyy makes an insane difference.

[Eyyoh]

President Zelensky, the General George Washington of Ukraine, fighting for Freedom and Independence! GOD bless him!

[jeromelapig]

Kudos! to President Zelensky the right president on the right time. 🇺🇦

[michaelyuan]

We need Zelenskyy to be our President as well, even just as an honorary title. Immediate honorary US citizenship, please.
