Western mainstream press previously lauded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a guardian of democracy. However, as ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Cortes observes in his Newsweek op-ed, its tone is changing.
The Zelensky narrative used by western media "has palpably shifted" over the last few weeks, according to Steve Cortes, a US political consultant, market strategist and former Trump campaign adviser.
This shift particularly comes in relation to the latest CBS News report which alleged that "much of the billions of dollars of military aid that the US is sending to Ukraine doesn't make it to the front lines." Cortes also cites the New York Times' Thomas L. Friedman, who admitted earlier this month that "there is deep mistrust between the White House and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine — considerably more than has been reported."
Concerns also appear to be simmering over Zelensky firing his prosecutor general and intelligence chief on July 18 without explanations. "I have still not seen any reporting that convincingly explains what that was all about," Friedman wrote. "It is as if we don’t want to look too closely under the hood in Kiev for fear of what corruption or antics we might see, when we have invested so much there."

He runs a country noted for corruption, but I believe he was a financially successful entertainer and has no need to steal.
Even the Russians don’t want to get rid of him.
Excellent question, very well put!

Can you be more concise? What I find on Artemis is the following: Elon Musk’s SpaceX will take a human crew to the Moon under its Artemis IV mission in 2027. NASA has awarded its Artemis IV contract to SpaceX which will see the privately funded space company take a human crew to the Moon. Under the contract, SpaceX will further develop its Starship human landing system to meet NASA’s requirements for human exploration of the Moon. The Artemis mission kicked off earlier today with the Artemis I launch of the Orion spacecraft, marking 50 years since the end of the Apollo program.

Gee, ya mean zelensky is a grifter?

Exactly
That does not make him equal to or similar to Reagan. Far from it.
Reasonable post
But what about the majority Russian ethnics in Donbass enduring Ukrop forces since the Maiden we helped engineer in 2014?

Dead man walking. If the Russians don’t get him the Ukrainians will.
I feel for the majority of the Ukraine people. It would be like the US being attacked by China. The average American didn’t do anything to bring it on but the leadership did and right now, that is Biden. It’s the people who pay the price for this war. The leaders walk away with the money.
