Russian President Vladimir Putin promised not to assassinate his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky when he met with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett last year in the early days of the war.

“Do you intend to kill Zelensky?” Bennett recalled asking Putin, during an almost five-hour interview he gave to Israel’s Channel 12, that was posted on YouTube on Saturday night.

Putin assured Bennett, “I’m not going to kill Zelensky.”

Bennett called Zelensky while he was still in Moscow on his way to the airport from the Kremlin to tell him that he was not under a death threat.

“Are you sure?” Zelensky asked.

“One hundred percent,” Bennett replied.

Bennett recalled: “Two hours later, Zelensky went to his office, and did a selfie in the office, [in which the Ukrainian president said,] ‘I’m not afraid.’”

If Putin looks into your eyes and promises he won’t kill you would you believe him?

Putin said he wouldn’t invade Ukraine. He didn’t. He launched a Special Military Operation.

Reminds me of the movie “Stalin”

Kamenev: We were promised our lives.
Beria: Comrade Stalin has revoked his promise.

Putin will not kill Zelensky. The Earth itself will kill him after Zelensky hurls himself out of to top floor of the Lubyanka prison. Twice.

Putin did not invade anybody when Trump was president.
And rocketman did not fire any rockets on Japan and S’ Korea while Trump was president.
Under Biden, Putin invaded Ukraine, China is preparing to invade Formosa (now known as Taiwan) and sending spy balloons over US to assess military capability when China takes over Formosa.

Putin’s made a lot of very smart moves.

This promise is not one of them!
