When the war ends and Zelenskyy steps down as president, he needs to be appointed as the Secretary-General of NATO, charged with modernizing forces based on battlefield experience.
Guy has earned some time off, I hope he gets to relax again someday.
"I need ammo, not a ride" - I hope history books repeat this phrase for the next ten thousand years. What fucking balls this guy has.
He's said in interviews he wants to sit on a beach and drink beer after he steps down.
No way that’s possible. He’s a high profile military leader and will be a prominent target even after the war. He’ll need constant security and planning in his private life for at least years
Those two things are not mutually exclusive...
How does that stop him from drinking beer at a beach?
He'll have some new standup material, at least.
I'd love to see him do more standup one day. I say this as a citizen of a nation whose president went from writing theatre pieces to being persecuted and imprisoned to being a president and back to writing theatre pieces.
Unfortunately, as much as it sucks to say, there's no way he won't be haunted by the war for the rest of his life. I hope he will be able to relax one day, but..
He definitely should NOT be prime minister of Ukraine. Great ear time leaders aren't the best peace time leaders.
Having said that, if he'd wanted Rutte's job, he has my vote for sure!
It would be incredible if this ends with Ukraine holding a 10km "buffer zone" of Russian territory.
If we're sharing our hopes, then I'd like to see the Russian empire crumble and all political power returned to indigenous people.
Restore Kievan Rus'!
You're missing like two zeros there
Fuck ya! Give ‘em hell!
And Russia's primary drone supplier has been somewhat disrupted...
Now Russia build Iranian drones by itself in local factories. But Iranian wars gave billions of dollars to Russia thanks to easing of sanctions and higher oil prices. For Russia the Iran war is good, not bad. The margins on oil production has skyrocketed.
Republicans never miss a chance to screw their allies. Market going to shit? Lift Russian sanctions to save yourself while selling the Ukranians out at a critical moment.
It's not even an Agent Krasnov thing - it's just basic greed and selfishness.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
