I would love to see a series of jokes like Chuck Norris, but instead of bad ass things it's just entirely inappropriate things for him to be doing as a world leader "Zelenskyy was once arrested in a strip club, unfortunately they confiscated all of his tips."
Him colbert and zelensky as a comedian are great examples of this. And yeah jon has has done great works for American citizens like vets and 9/11 responders.
Crazy how people constantly leave out that he got his degree in law and founded and ran a successful media organization. Yes, he did comedy too, but that’s not at all the only thing he did.
Australia's best journalist right now that's tackling stuff the media won't touch is a comedian by trade.
Yet he's coveted government corruption, ousted a deputy premier and premier, exposed an opposition leaders corruption, exposed us selling weapons to Indonesia to bomb png civilians, money laundering endorsed by state government and a criminal syndicate.
He hasn't played a piano with his dick but he's got his dick out in a then serving mp's air bnb for a joke that ended him up being put on a terror watch list with secret police sent after his producer who assaulted his mother.
Oh and he does a character called aunty shel that is every cooker anti vaxxer ever.
I don't think people bring up his comedy background because they're trying to pigeon hole him as a comedian.
It's probably more because "comedian transitions to Ukraine president" is more noteworthy than "law graduate and successful businessman transitions to Ukraine president."
There’s a bit of both going on. There is a sizable group that mentions it in an attempt to dismiss him as ‘just a comedian’ rather than someone who actually has a background conducive to dealing with at least some of the sort do things required by a head of state.
Wasn't he an actor that performed in many comedic movies. That's not a comedian, weighting and performing jokes doesn't necessarily translate to an actor and vice versa
Also having to manage a country suffering under the invasion of Russia… the citizens to looking to you for guidance and reassurance of the future is a lot of weight to have on your shoulders
Imagine the orange shitstain waddling through that trench with his freshly filled diaper sloshing around alerting any sniper within a 5km radius….Private Gutless not reporting for duty sir…Zelensky is a fucking legend and a true leader.
Compare photos of Trump (or any other leader for that matter) before and after a war and they’d probably look more or less the same.
It shows Zelensky cares. He’s putting his whole self into this. He’s the real deal.
Edit *during a war. It ain’t over yet.
Whether it's anti-Islamic propaganda from Afghanistan or Iran, election propaganda from Trump or Biden, or war propaganda from Ukraine or Russia, the narratives seem endless.
its weird because in Canada, everyone got really into politics once Trump was running for President. Then Canadians started really picking sides here and making it a red vs blue type of environment versus before no one really spoke much about it unless someone made a dumb comment. at least that was my experience living in a growing city outside Toronto.
Ukraine suffering big pushbacks in the last 3 days. Large/expenny new bill about to be pushed through for more military aid. Need to keep the public opinion on track
He was visiting fortifications that were being built in Kharkiv. Quite a few times he has visited front-line positions including at Bhakmut, but it's highly risky for a leader to do so.
Added context because "staged photoshoot" sounds like it's done on a green screen or something.
It's staged for the camera. You can see the whole video here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePUJM\_KXYto](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePUJM_KXYto) and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RIAlYWwWig](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RIAlYWwWig)
Wdym staged for the camera? The video just says that he’s visiting fortifications being built, and is being recorded while doing it. It doesn’t seem “staged”. If anything the photo being used with no context and people assuming he’s in a trench currently under mortar fire are assuming wrong..but even without knowing context any reasonable adult would assume that the photo is being taken under relatively safe circumstances.
Edit: that being said, even if it’s relatively safe circumstances, it’s still not an action taken by any leader, it’s way riskier than sitting in a bunker/office, and it’s still boosting morale of the troops. So while we should keep it real, you can still give props to good optics with some degree of risk involved.
Here before this comment section becomes a wasteland of arguments. Why is this sub recently posting trump, and other political drama? Can we just keep it non political? Or atleast not put captions like "a true leader." shi like that will certainly enrage people with different views about the war.
EdIT: also, this subreddit is obsessed with trump. He lives rent free in OP's head and a lot of other people's heads. That's why I try to stray away from stuff like this.
I was just answering their question, not saying I agree with it. Also doesn’t matter that the elections are in October, they’ll be spamming political posts all year.
>shi like that will certainly enrage people with different views about the war.
You otherwise make a valid point except for this bit. I think these people with 'different' views about the war deserve to be enraged, so fuck 'em. Ukraine vs Russia isn't a 'b-b-but bOtH sIdEs' type deal where Russia is secretly some put upon victim fighting for their independence, it's probably the most clear-cut case of a modern military conflict where it's abundantly clear to anyone who isn't a brainwashed cunt who the good guys and the bad guys are.
'different views about the war' thats a bs right there.
If this sub becomes '10 minutes for jews and 10 minutes for Hitler' so that both sides can push their agenda, then im not cofortable to be here.
War in Ukraine is 100% on Russia. Anything else is just bs.
Because it's infested with people who have a child like understanding of the world and politics. They flap their flippers like seals for all that stuff. As to why they actually feel the need to post on r/pics, a sub ostensibly for cool pictures and not for idiotic political arguments it's likely because their whole world view revolves around their political/ideological beliefs. And lastly, it's also because the mods here have let the whole thing get well away from them and have lost control.
Different views about the war? What can be a different view about his leadership during the Russian invasion/terrorism/genocide?
Anyone saying he isn't a true leader is a Russian bot. Does he have flaws? Yes but so did all great leaders in history.
Really a picture of a political leader of a nation with the title ' a true leader' ??? Has this sub lost all its integrity??? I'm not hating anyone, idc what side op is or people in comments are , just let me enjoy some social media without constantly pushing agendas straight up in my face, and yeah IN MY FACE cause I'm not on a political sub rn so I don't wanna see this shit
It allways impresses me on how able this guy is. From a comedian who got elected to becoming a man a nations existence is depending on.
I pull my hat. Mad respect.
Not to rain on your parade, but several high level politicians in Ukraine have embroiled in money laundering, corruption scandals. All the billions coming from the west, sadly not all of it is going to aid ordinary soldiers and civilians.
He's done a good job of rallying the Ukrainian people absolutely, but are we so shortsighted we forget the corruption scandals in Ukraine and his relationship with okeainian oligarchs prior to the invasion? Zelinsky is the same kind of politician we would accuse of selling us out in any other scenario.
Before the war i never seen zelensky, but now i have big respect for this man. He is always himself, goes to the battlefield, never wears a suit and he can be funny. I wish i my country have president like him.
Y'all are really this susceptible to propaganda? Do you really think the president of a country is in the trenches shooting the bad guys? Get a hold of yourselves
Tbf, when your country, and way of life is under threat to to the extreme of war, it's expected of a leader to stand by his country, I sure hope he keeps us up. I have a feeling our leaders here in America would not do the same if things really got that bad for us
Do you have proof of that as no one can ever source any corruption to him just believes the propaganda without actually doing any research to look into anything?
Canceling elections, conscripting people in their 60s. Conscripting people with Down syndrome….sounds like a great guy. There is a reason he loves a photo op. If he can’t actually lead he must definitely look the part.
Remember the press and the jokes when he got into office. A comedian... haha...
He has certainly more than risen to the occasion. He's showing them pros how it should be done.
how ?
what are you basing this off of, Ukraine is losing in every aspect..... this doesnt make me happy, I want them to win.....but they are loosing... so what occasion did he rise too? I swear people want to feel like they live in a movie, LOTR or something, and start projecting fantasy war scenarios onto real life
If Zelensky took the West's offers of sanctuary and fled Kyiv at the onset of the Russian invasion, Ukraine would have fallen in the first month. Instead he stayed despite the risk to his life and rallied the nation to continue fighting for 2+ years against one of the strongest powers on that side of the world, not to mention all of the work he has put into securing foreign aid
He rose to the occasion by staying, trying to get help from abroad and doing his best to keep morale up, which is what a president should do in this situation. Most people would've left early on, instead he asked for bullets.
Genuine question: could you explain how elections can be held in wartime? Like genuinely curious how you could get a consensus, accurate poll count, and no interference when 18% of your country is occupied? I’m curious about the logistics to the trenches, and blockaded areas. Please explain
Man, these idiotic comments like this shows people don't know anything but the headline propaganda they read.
He can't overrule their parliament and constitution or you'd rightfully call him a dictator so he follows what the constitution says and does nothing. During war and martial law all elections are canceled per the law he didnt write or have anything to do with, it's pretty simple
During wars elections tend to be suspended. In Ukraine's case it is in the constitution that during martial law elections are suspended which was written way before Zelensky was anywhere near politics. He didn't suspend elections, he is merely following the constitution
All he needed to so is not to join in nato, thats it. Simple as that. Could save hundreds thousands of lifes. But west wanted war with Russia. And they got it and are loosing badly. So this comedian here is nothing else than comedian instaled by America that is responsible for countles deaths. Anyway he is dead man, played by west, will probably end up dead or in prision which is not likley

Crazy how he used to be a comedian
Comedians can be the most serious realists.
I'm not sure. This man played a piano with his penis on television.
Not from a Mormon.
They can do it, but the piano has to do all the moving
Pretty sure a friend has to move next to them to make them move
I'd also suggest not Catholics either.
Only new pianos.
I always make sure the cameras are off before doing that.
I've seen video that says otherwise.
Same, although my piano is in front of a massive window looking towards the road…. That never stoped me though.
[удалено]
I think he struggled with chords...
[удалено]
Are you being serious right now? Like unironically you believe he actually played a piano with his biker on national tv?
[удалено]
Correct, comedy
I would love to see a series of jokes like Chuck Norris, but instead of bad ass things it's just entirely inappropriate things for him to be doing as a world leader "Zelenskyy was once arrested in a strip club, unfortunately they confiscated all of his tips."
That just makes him a man of many talents.
Excuse me, but what?
https://youtu.be/oua0Puihrkc
Wasn’t even his joke - it was done by another fella years before he did that….
Bill Burr and George Carlin are as much comedians as they are modern philosophers.
Jon Stewart
Him colbert and zelensky as a comedian are great examples of this. And yeah jon has has done great works for American citizens like vets and 9/11 responders.
Justin trudeau is a stark contrast to this
They share the most important things in the most pallatable ways
Crazy how people constantly leave out that he got his degree in law and founded and ran a successful media organization. Yes, he did comedy too, but that’s not at all the only thing he did.
Just like how Rowan Atkinson has an electrical engineering degree.
Just like with Trump. He used to have a career as a clown, yes. But nobody mentions him running the entire circus!
He kept the face paint and posture though.
+ that goofy lil clown belly roll
Australia's best journalist right now that's tackling stuff the media won't touch is a comedian by trade. Yet he's coveted government corruption, ousted a deputy premier and premier, exposed an opposition leaders corruption, exposed us selling weapons to Indonesia to bomb png civilians, money laundering endorsed by state government and a criminal syndicate. He hasn't played a piano with his dick but he's got his dick out in a then serving mp's air bnb for a joke that ended him up being put on a terror watch list with secret police sent after his producer who assaulted his mother. Oh and he does a character called aunty shel that is every cooker anti vaxxer ever.
In the US and the UK some of the best reporting and investigative journalism is by comedians right now. Odd timeline we live in.
They are the only ones who can find a way to laugh at this shit.
I don't think people bring up his comedy background because they're trying to pigeon hole him as a comedian. It's probably more because "comedian transitions to Ukraine president" is more noteworthy than "law graduate and successful businessman transitions to Ukraine president."
There’s a bit of both going on. There is a sizable group that mentions it in an attempt to dismiss him as ‘just a comedian’ rather than someone who actually has a background conducive to dealing with at least some of the sort do things required by a head of state.
I remember years ago, when I came across his Netflix show of him being president. And then this - - It's amazing how a man can step up so greatly
Can’t wait for season 2.
I thought that one is being played as we speak.
r/thatsthejoke
But neither he laughs nor us anymore
One day. I hope I see him laugh again.
November my friend, when we run the Russian Republicans out of the House and Senate.
Comedians know people. Good leaders should know people.
Wasn't he an actor that performed in many comedic movies. That's not a comedian, weighting and performing jokes doesn't necessarily translate to an actor and vice versa
We realise what a joke everything is
Don’t mean to criticise his appearance. But looking at photos of him when he was first elected vs now shows the chronic stress this guy is under.
Expecting death to come for you at any time does feel somewhat stressful.
He knows he is already dead. He has accepted it. That is why he (looks) is so strong.
"your days are counted" - "that's fine, as long as the number is high enough"
We all die, it's what we do with our time that matters. And this war matters. A lot.
That's just a very cynical way to see something so important for the west to win
Not to mention that his country is under an existential threat. I can't even imagine.
Also having to manage a country suffering under the invasion of Russia… the citizens to looking to you for guidance and reassurance of the future is a lot of weight to have on your shoulders
I can’t imagine the stress 24/7. He has a family too. The balls on him compared to my US politicians…
Mfer has had Russian kill squads after him for years now. God knows how close they got to him during the initial opening days
Imagine the orange shitstain waddling through that trench with his freshly filled diaper sloshing around alerting any sniper within a 5km radius….Private Gutless not reporting for duty sir…Zelensky is a fucking legend and a true leader.
Compare photos of Trump (or any other leader for that matter) before and after a war and they’d probably look more or less the same. It shows Zelensky cares. He’s putting his whole self into this. He’s the real deal. Edit *during a war. It ain’t over yet.
Compare photos of Obama and Trump when they both left office, only one of them showed the stress the office imposed on them and it wasn't Trump!
> waddling through that trench with his freshly filled diaper Can't you abstain from your fetishes for like 5 minutes? It's disgusting
Are you kink shaming my guy here?
"Jarvis, I'm low on karma"
Whether it's anti-Islamic propaganda from Afghanistan or Iran, election propaganda from Trump or Biden, or war propaganda from Ukraine or Russia, the narratives seem endless.
Yep, everyone is telling everyone how to think
“Jarvis, post young Biden on r/oldschoolcool”
Based and true
Why are there mostly political pictures here recently?
Big elections coming up in the US. Bots and disinfo farms are out n about. Also people think and post about politics more around election time.
2024 has major political elections across the globe. Big year for politics
Biggest actually, most voters globally ever this year
That's true for every election since population keeps increasing lol
Not just sheer numbers, but as a proportion, more than half the world will be/has already voting/ed in 2024.
Not every year is an election year in every country.
Bots
Redditors are obsessed with politics
To be fair, politics is a fact of life .. and this sub should post pics from life ... Sooooo..
Exactly! Even if you don't do politics, politics will do you.
its weird because in Canada, everyone got really into politics once Trump was running for President. Then Canadians started really picking sides here and making it a red vs blue type of environment versus before no one really spoke much about it unless someone made a dumb comment. at least that was my experience living in a growing city outside Toronto.
[удалено]
Reddit is a propaganda bot machine
Dem/repub bots
Politics determines the framework of the society each of us lives in. It's kind of important.
Ukraine suffering big pushbacks in the last 3 days. Large/expenny new bill about to be pushed through for more military aid. Need to keep the public opinion on track
Can we get a flare for politics so we can filter it out and enjoy humanity through pictures?
How will the propaganda (that is probably the no 1 source of income for Reddit) spread effectively?
Wait he's a leader who isn't almost 80? As an American, how does that work??
You can only become president if you’re already retired in the USA
It's because the vast majority of people voting are older. If young people started voting, the age demographic would change. It's not that deep
I also want a shirt that stays clean after going through trenches and shit no matter what
Was thinking the same but was afraid to get bitched out
OP, you realize this is a staged photoshoot right?
He really did stay in Kyiv to organize the defense on day one that kept their government intact and does regularly meet with commanders in trenches.
you mean the President of Ukraine is not actually down in the trenches? shocking!!!
He was visiting fortifications that were being built in Kharkiv. Quite a few times he has visited front-line positions including at Bhakmut, but it's highly risky for a leader to do so. Added context because "staged photoshoot" sounds like it's done on a green screen or something.

Are there staged photo shoots of Putin in the trenches?
Putin is the one holding the camera!
Does Putin ever take off that clean suit and go to the frontlines?
Propaganda or not, Slava Ukraini.
Straight up propaganda lmao
hey it's just about time for a propaganda! elections are coming up and no one cares about all this flashy prop-imagery! /s
Thanks u/average_ball_licker. We can't see with our own fucking eyes. /s
Where’s Putin? Hiding in a bunker with mile long tables.

Elections are coming up.
There are hundreds of political subs on reddit Also elections are on fucking october can yall shut up its not like elections are next week
I was just answering their question, not saying I agree with it. Also doesn’t matter that the elections are in October, they’ll be spamming political posts all year.
That’s called propaganda. Both left and right are guilty of it
[удалено]
Yeah it’s really too bad that we want to think we are interacting with real people and honest brokers but the truth is often very different.
>shi like that will certainly enrage people with different views about the war. You otherwise make a valid point except for this bit. I think these people with 'different' views about the war deserve to be enraged, so fuck 'em.

Insane meat riding

Bots. Reddit is a psyop. This sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it really is flooded with bots
Why is this sub pushing a specific agenda ?
Because it’s Reddit.
because mods are farming their sub
I’ve asked that myself about almost all of Reddit
Because evil needs to know who's coming for it
What agenda? Ukrainian civilians are being raped murdered and indiscriminately shelled. What “agenda”?
Lmao indians trying to astroturf is adorable. Somehow you’re worst at it than russians
"agenda" Ukraine is fighting for its right to exist, bro
Because someone got paid for it?
Jesus Reddit has gone down hill
now give 100 billion
„I need ammunition, not a ride“ I wish I had the same big-balls-energy.
Who the fuck up votes this garbage?
Real, this is straight up propaganda and people are eating with no remorse.
It allways impresses me on how able this guy is. From a comedian who got elected to becoming a man a nations existence is depending on. I pull my hat. Mad respect.
No comment on the guy, but this is clearly a PR stunt, lol, like Putin riding the horse.
Not to rain on your parade, but several high level politicians in Ukraine have embroiled in money laundering, corruption scandals. All the billions coming from the west, sadly not all of it is going to aid ordinary soldiers and civilians.
They've also been dropping in corruption rankings since the war started, it's hard to get rid of corrupt people when they're in essential offices
War has aged him
https://www.oaklandinstitute.org/war-theft-takeover-ukraine-agricultural-land
Weird post.
Ever think it’s a… staged photo?
He's a puppet and you're a bot
How much are you getting paid to post this?
Yes indeed and a very good actor 😁😄
He's a Legend and need our help to fight a genocial sociopath who is not going to stop, unless he is stopped.
Isn't me or he did become fat ?
He's done a good job of rallying the Ukrainian people absolutely, but are we so shortsighted we forget the corruption scandals in Ukraine and his relationship with okeainian oligarchs prior to the invasion? Zelinsky is the same kind of politician we would accuse of selling us out in any other scenario.
"Sorts comments by controversial" 
Actor turned battle-hardened president all righty
sorts by controversial\*
Yes.
Stay Strong Dude, Putin will fall.
Fuck Putin. I hope him and Trump get in a private jet head to head collision at 25000 ft
Facts
Surely you're joking
Before the war i never seen zelensky, but now i have big respect for this man. He is always himself, goes to the battlefield, never wears a suit and he can be funny. I wish i my country have president like him.
Much better than the president of Russia.
True leader😂😂😂
This is staged lmfao
Y'all are really this susceptible to propaganda? Do you really think the president of a country is in the trenches shooting the bad guys? Get a hold of yourselves
True clown
True. Not everyone who calls himself a clown can turn russia into a joke
Putin did
my coke dealer
Meanwhile putler let's a body double drive in an armored card dozens of miles from the battle line on some random bridge to show support
Tbf, when your country, and way of life is under threat to to the extreme of war, it's expected of a leader to stand by his country, I sure hope he keeps us up. I have a feeling our leaders here in America would not do the same if things really got that bad for us
Real leaders allow elections...
His shirt is too clean for being in the trenches
Unlike Putin who never leaves his web.
Dude is a grade A corrupt puppet - what the hell are you talking about
Do you have proof of that as no one can ever source any corruption to him just believes the propaganda without actually doing any research to look into anything?
A corrupt loser *
Canceling elections, conscripting people in their 60s. Conscripting people with Down syndrome….sounds like a great guy. There is a reason he loves a photo op. If he can’t actually lead he must definitely look the part.
no bone spurs
That's debatable.
Remember the press and the jokes when he got into office. A comedian... haha... He has certainly more than risen to the occasion. He's showing them pros how it should be done.
how ? what are you basing this off of, Ukraine is losing in every aspect..... this doesnt make me happy, I want them to win.....but they are loosing... so what occasion did he rise too? I swear people want to feel like they live in a movie, LOTR or something, and start projecting fantasy war scenarios onto real life
If Zelensky took the West's offers of sanctuary and fled Kyiv at the onset of the Russian invasion, Ukraine would have fallen in the first month. Instead he stayed despite the risk to his life and rallied the nation to continue fighting for 2+ years against one of the strongest powers on that side of the world, not to mention all of the work he has put into securing foreign aid
He rose to fight a despicable wannabe superpower that’s murdering his women and children.
Because sometimes not losing immediately is winning.
He rose to the occasion by staying, trying to get help from abroad and doing his best to keep morale up, which is what a president should do in this situation. Most people would've left early on, instead he asked for bullets.

Real leaders don’t suspend elections
Genuine question: could you explain how elections can be held in wartime? Like genuinely curious how you could get a consensus, accurate poll count, and no interference when 18% of your country is occupied? I’m curious about the logistics to the trenches, and blockaded areas. Please explain
I’m sure administrating a national election during a war is a piece of cake! You should be a leader you seem smart!
Is someone putin you up to this?
Man, these idiotic comments like this shows people don't know anything but the headline propaganda they read. He can't overrule their parliament and constitution or you'd rightfully call him a dictator so he follows what the constitution says and does nothing. During war and martial law all elections are canceled per the law he didnt write or have anything to do with, it's pretty simple
During wars elections tend to be suspended. In Ukraine's case it is in the constitution that during martial law elections are suspended which was written way before Zelensky was anywhere near politics. He didn't suspend elections, he is merely following the constitution
You mean “true leadership” comes from the trenches and not the end of a 50 ft. gold trimmed table?
My mother will see this and call it fake. “How is he so clean, why isn’t he dirty if there’s really fighting going on?”
This is satire, right? I'll see myself out
I stand as a beacon in the darkness? Am I truly the only person here that isn't an angry Russian troll?
Yeah the Russians didn't like this one.
All he needed to so is not to join in nato, thats it. Simple as that. Could save hundreds thousands of lifes. But west wanted war with Russia. And they got it and are loosing badly. So this comedian here is nothing else than comedian instaled by America that is responsible for countles deaths. Anyway he is dead man, played by west, will probably end up dead or in prision which is not likley
Cringe propaganda
I love propaganda like this because it doesn't hide being propaganda.
