"Ukraine had a comedian who turns out to be a leader. The UK has a leader who turned out to be a comedian."
That's very funny and well put.
Zelensky is a quite remarkable and unusual person, from what I can make out.
His mother tongue is Russian. He is a Russian Jew from East Ukraine. He wanted to study in Israel, but his father forbade him this.
He stands fast in his capital city Kiev. When offered a lift out by the Americans, he replied, "I want bullets, not a taxi."
Few of us can completely escape the influence of our background and learn to think for ourselves. Perhaps in his case, it comes from the profound respect he has for the Americans - his great grandfather and three great great aunts died in the holocaust.
