Why would you want Zelensky to 'pack his bags?' I can understand you might want him to accept a negotiated settlement, but its only the pro-Putinists that want to see him leave. Or has that been your view all along?
One more interesting note re. Zelensky. He's become a loud voice in support of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. This even though a year ago, he was bashing Israel for not giving him any weapons to fight the Russians. Now he's back on board the train to Tel Aviv in lockstep with Biden, even though Israel blocked his visit there.
I know, but what's your point? Do you think he was wrong to organize a resistance to Putin's invasion? As your 'pack his bags' comment echoed, Biden initially offered to help him escape. He said he wanted ammo, not a ride. Would you have had him take the ride?
Media: Zelensky to attend inauguration of incoming Argentine President Milei
Milei, a far-right libertarian lawmaker, won Argentina's presidential election on Nov. 19 after a campaign in which he said he would seek to reduce ties to Russia and China, among other policy views that represented a break from the outgoing President Alberto Fernandez.
Milei gained international attention for his incendiary comments and radical views, such as legalizing the sale of human organs and completely removing all gun laws. He has been compared to former U.S. President Donald Trump.
It's not that I want Z to leave. I have no opinion on that. Nor would anyone in power care. It's more that I'm predicting it. It's the way US leaders have always dealt with partners who outlive their usefulness. And it's not just the "pro-Putinists" (please don't include me on that list) but some of Z's own top generals who are reportedly now seeing him as an obstacle to peace and apparently working out their own deal with Russia's military leaders.
GenZ's support of Biden in 2024 is in serious trouble and supporting Israel right or wrong is really disaffecting them further. For sure they don't get nuanced foreign policy and the damage is moving beyond that

Well, he sure got the "ammo", didn't he?
Here's the latest on Z:

BTW, have you read Liz Cheney's New Book? Just finished it. Well worth the read. I'll post a piece on it soon.
No, I haven't and aren't planning to. Looking forward to your review.
So far, anyway. Unless the pro-Putin faction of the GOP cuts him off. Strange politics these days.
And a large group of Democrats.
Indeed, that's why I had the come up with the 'six party hypothesis' to make sense of our politics today. I'm with the 'Squad' party.
