hi wei

thanks for drawing attention to the article on zelensky from some time ago... the more recent one which has a number of comments and etc on his possible replacement or removal are on a different link from here - https://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12075

i share a few other possible leadership candidates and etc on the above thread..

as for the russia-ukraine conflict, i choose to define it as the russia-nato conflict as without nato playing the role it has here, this whole thing would not have happened and it would have ended a lot sooner as well.. see the link below for my thoughts on this which was posted a few months after the recent flair up of feb 2022... for a more complete perspective on this ''war'' or proxy war, one would have to go back to the maiden protests in feb 2014, or even further back to appreciate the game at play in all of this madness..

Putin formally announces candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, poised to govern until 2030.
