    Worthless. Godless. A mere puppet man of the year? He does the will of Nato, not his own. He has lost well over 100,000 Ukrainians. Everyone knows they cannot win. But he sacrifices his people for Nato, not Ukraine. He does not do what is good for Ukraine (although he wanted to), but is overruled by Nato, ukrainian nazis. The exact opposite of a man of the year.

    When it comes to the purpose of "Man of the Year" you need to check what their criteria is!

    Person of the Year is an annual issue of the United States news magazine and website Time featuring a person, a group, an idea, or an object Person of the year. object.. is an annual issue of the United that "for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the year"

    Note the bold print! especially the words "the most to influence"

    Thus in 1938 Hitler was man of the year.

    Ukrainian President Volodymry Zelensky has "lost" over 100,000 lives? Should he have just thrown up his hands and said, we will not fight to protect our country? Doesn't the bible say something about the need to protect others, orphans and widows and the like?

    Yes.

    He was certainly one of the top newsmakers of 2022. His successful resistance to Putin's aggression has inspired the world.

    Actually, 100,000 is the estimated death toll for the Russian invaders. The death toll for Ukraine is between 14,000-15,000.

    He doesn't have to win, he just has to drive out the Russian army by making it too painful and expensive to continue their assault. Putin is the one who can't win.

    He has the support of Ukrainians, so it sounds like he represents their interests.

    You are definitely consistent with your misinformation and Putin propaganda. Everyone can see that you have no regard for truth.

    You are ill informed about what goes on in the world today. You get your news from liar's, so you don't know any better. The news can only lie so much before they are undone. I would have thought you would have figured that out by now. If Russia lost 100,000 men they would have been thrown out of Ukraine and lost the war. But they are still in Ukraine and still in the war. How can that be with all the lies that you have heard?

    Russia has had to withdraw from a number of key areas. They have also instituted a draft, which tells me they have lost an enormous number of soldiers in the standing army. Russian air power has also been decimated, causing Russian generals to restrict risk for remaining aircraft and trained pilots, both of which are currently had to replace.

    Young men have been fleeing Russia to evade the draft because they know that it is a bloodbath. We also have Putin hinting that nuclear weapons are in play, which is a clear sign that conventional forces have failed.

    All of these things are public knowledge. The “facts” you present run counter to what is easily known, and are filled with accusations and buzzwords typical of emotionally-manipulative propaganda — specifically Russian propaganda.

    I am not fooled.

    Successful resistance because of US taxpayer backing. Not really all that inspiring.

    That's big talk from a man who is not fighting for his life and the future of his nation.

    The future of his nation has been destroyed already. We, the USA guaranteed that when Mr Z was negotiating with Russia and we sent Borris (Great Britian, NATO) to tell him no, we will back you up. We are at war with Russia Baptist Believer, and we will bleed Russia to the last Ukrainian. There will be so many dead Ukrainian males they won't be able to recover. All because The American Neo Cons can't have competition. This plan goes back to at least bush2, and was followed through by obamo. Put on hold with Trump, back on with you know who. Warmongers. We were warmongers in gulf war 2, Lybia, Syria. Afghanistan. And now Ukraine. Unfortunately there is a lot of money to be made off of war Baptist Believer. The Ukrainians will pay the price for the billionairs getting more billions.

    Sure.
    Finland fighting Russia in the winter war with little to no backing was inspiring. A corrupt Ukrainian president fighting Russia with the latest US military equipment donated at taxpayer expense (while OUR border is being overrun) is irritating. There is nothing inspiring about it.

    I find it strange that Hunter Biden did his criminal stuff with the Ukrainians before his old man got elected, and look what's happening now.
