Mr. Zelensky Goes to Washington as a WinnerVolodymyr Zelenskyy and Joe Biden
The two leaders have been linked in ways that would have been impossible to predict just a year ago. Both were grievously underestimated by Putin. Both have risen to the demands of standing up to Russias vaunted military in ways that have produced dramatic successes for Ukraine and humiliation for Russia. Both were, perhaps, also underestimated in their own countries when the war began, certainly neither was seen as a wartime leader.
But today, the two are the Roosevelt and Churchill of the Ukraine war, with Biden offering American might to bolster the courage of an ally who is defending his nation and waging a battle that is crucial for both allied countries. Unlike Roosevelt and Churchillwho were drawn from the aristocracy of their societiesBiden and Zelenskyy are more up-by-their-bootstraps working class leaders who are plain-spoken and who succeed by virtue of their authenticity.
The two are now close partners who will be forever linked in the eyes of history.

(1,996 posts)2. These are two real Patriots of their respective nations
and I agree Putin underestimated both. It's an honor to have Joe Biden as our President and a fine President for the people of Ukraine working together to safeguard freedom. Sometimes a thank you just is not enough.

But today, the two are the Roosevelt and Churchill of the Ukraine war.
Gotta say, EXCEEDINGLY proud that Joe Biden is our President. What a gigantic, world-class improvement over that overstuffed orange jerk.
