Semi-serious is better than not serious at all. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
It’s a gamble, but Zelensky hopes that the next US President might either become so nervous about him flirting with China that they decide to give him more of what he’s been demanding and remove their restrictions or that China can convince Russia to scale back some of its maximalist demands for peace if they won’t.
The conventional thinking is that Ukraine isn’t interested in resuming peace talks with Russia unless the latter capitulates to its unacceptable ultimatums, otherwise it’ll continue fighting “until the last Ukrainian”, but that might be about to be turned on its head as a result of recent developments. In the span of less than a week: Trump talked to Zelensky about his peace plan; the Vatican’s top diplomat visited Ukraine; and Ukraine’s Foreign Minister is visiting China, the last two for the first time since 2022.
From the looks of it, Ukraine is fretting about Trump’s likely return to power and wants to get ahead of the curve by exploring paths to peace, which are intended to give it a chance to shape the process instead of being completely controlled by it if the US suddenly decides to end its latest “forever war”. The supplementary developments that led up to the three aforementioned ones are Orban’s peace missions and the unveiling of former British Prime Minister Johnson’s peace plan.
Regarding the first of these two, this saw the Hungarian leader travel to Kiev, Moscow, Beijing, DC, and Mar-a-Lago, after which he recommended in a report to the EU that their bloc explore the modalities of the next peace conference with China and resume dialogue with Russia. As for the second, this infamous hawk proposed territorial compromises with Russia and Ukraine protecting the rights of Russian speakers. These five developments were also just followed by an unexpected proof of concept.
Press ganging the nursery and kindergarten didn’t go over too well for GI Ziolensky?
Free fuzzy hair and green shirts for everyone as he can afford it.
Love that photo at the Slam the Scam of Erwin von Zelensky having a meal with the troops.
The average drooling dullard will retweet and like while clapping like a trained seal?
Remember Terminator II and the it’s not going to end well for us humans, wisdom beyond his years.
Regarding the Slam the Green Nude Eel scam, once saw a land based turbine up in flames in the Smoky Hills windmill project of Kanorado on a Sunday, so you know it was going to burn for 24 hours at least.
Most of them were going and I counted at least 100 being the passenger and gifted with extreme recon…search says 155 installed.
