Ukraine has a lot of masses. They liked Zelensky, a popular TV comedian. He was brought to power by the oligarch who owned the show. My guess is that the powers that be were simply picking a guy they thought could win. The press here is owned by you-know-who, like just about everywhere. Zelensky is one of the boys. There have long been close links with the US press. The Kyiv Post is a bastion of leftists.
This crowd sent large, most likely illegal contributions to Obama and Hillary, probably others before them, in the time honored tradition of buying access. This time around it is The Big Guy, the son and SBF. So corrupt I expect the story will actually get out this time. This crowd almost certainly promoted the biolabs - see the relevant chapter in Lies My Government Told Me. Ukraine was vulnerable - both needy as a country and corrupt at higher levels.
Remarkably, at the people level I enjoy significantly more freedom here than in the US. Corrupt officials are content with money. They don't make us bow before idols like diversity, gay, trans, climate and so on. We can say and do what we want.
And that's the story I tell on my Substack. Glad to be a subscriber to yours.
Even more fantastically radical.
