I’ll give the old coot credit, I don’t agree with everything he said here but it took some balls to say it.

Edit: Noam not Norm. Fuck!

            Right, yeah lol. I think he's pretty spot on here tbh. What do you disagree with?

                  To be fair, considering that likely if he capitulates to Russia he may in fact face a death sentence from the West, I can in some respect sympathize (or at least feel bad for) Zelensky. Maybe that's a bad take, but I do at least a little bit feel he's turning a war dial and looking back at the US reaction to guage if he's gone far enough.

                    I sympathize with Zelensky in the sense that I think he's the Ukrainian equivalent of a DNC staffer who's favorite show is West Wing, yet he became head of state of a far less powerful country in conflict with a cornered super power. It's like having a guy who had a moderately popular film criticism YT channel put in charge of directing a long lost Stanley Kubrick script.

                        Yes that sounds exactly like something a West Wing pilled DNC staffer would do. They just don’t get why it’s bad because of centrist lib philosophy.

                    Oh yeah, I think that's pretty obvious by now. The US is using him, and by extention the Ukrainian people, as pawns against Russia. Just yet another example of how the great satan does not give a single fuck about human lives.
