while i have some respect for Zelenskyy because he appears to be sticking around to lead his country instead of accepting offers to flee it, i do think he did accidentally get caught up in it a bit. if that war hadn't happened, there's a chance he'd be a very forgettable head of state that didn't do much to solve Ukraine's problems. so he got a bit lucky there. historical accident put him in that role. when i see the media glorify him, i remind myself of that. and for all i know, maybe the guy is profiteering off the war in some way. we don't know for sure that he isn't. i don't assume him to be a saint, but i suppose he does serve as a unifying figure.
