Zelenskyy channeled Ronald Reagan in speech to Congress: Petraeus

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's acting chops were apparent during his historic address to a joint meeting of Congress Wednesday night, according to former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, who drew a parallel to former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's ability to capture audiences.

"We should remember that [Zelenskyy] was an actor," Petraeus told Fox News Digital. "He knows how to do this. Just as Ronald Reagan was the great communicator, Zelenskyy is as well."

But Zelenskyy's career as an entertainer prior to being elected president does not undermine his credibility, Petraeus said.

"You can't fake this," he said. "We used to occasionally observe about leaders in combat and so forth that if they don't really love soldiers, they can't fake it forever. Sooner or later, it's very evident whether someone is truly sincere or not."

Zellenskyy's charisma "enabled his sincerity to come through in an even more compelling and powerful manner," Petraeus said.

The speech was too culturally correct. I’m guessing the CIA ‘helped’ him write the speech.

First, the comparison to George Washington, now Ronald Reagan. He really should be compared to the Clintons, BO, and POTATUS, as they are all lying grifters.

Reagan and Zelensky in the same breath

Add George Washington and Winston Eugenics to the comparisons.

The speech was too culturally correct to be written by Zelenskyy. I’m guessing the CIA ‘helped’ him write the speech. Or wrote it for him.

Of course 51 CIA/intelligence thugs will publish a letter in the New York Times saying they didn’t assist with the speech...

What absolute horse crap! Petraeus is a GLOBALIST, rino member of the CFR, WEF, and the Bilderbergs. His goal is to remove Russia from independence from all three of those.

And, Zelenskyy is a PIMP. Read that clown’s bio. And he was INSTALLED by Obamaumao and Joey Bags. Which is why the demonrats/rinos got so upset with Trumps phone call to the pimp to find out what happened to the Prosecutor and Joe Bama’s brat crackhead son on the Board of Burisma with Cofer Black of the see eye eh, Romney’s former Prez Campaign manager. These people are a circle jerk of complete corrupt a@@holes. George Washington would have hanged all of them as he did many Tories.

Never mind the absurd comparison to Churchill by many of the Ukraine Grifter Proponents, including some on this very website.
