In response to the recent attacks, Zelenksy outright says he wants to kill Putin
"I am a father, I am a president, I am a human," Zelenskyy said.
"When you see these people, parents, when their children die, at such moments you want to kill Putin."
The president also expressed his belief that the Russians struck the hospital before NATO summit in Washington on purpose to send a certain "signal."
Clutch those pearls any tighter and they'll crack.
I want Putin dead too.
Princesses can kill knights to rescue dragons.
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Oh noooooooo . . .
Who the fuck would give a shit? Putin's a monster and is directly and solely responsible for the deaths of some 65,000 of Zelensky's countrymen in a brutal and unnecessary war that has directly targeted civilians in many cases.
Wanting Putin dead is an entirely reasonable and human response to that. The same way the Allies wanted Hitler dead. This is not a negative light for Zelensky at all.
So the problem with that is in politics, saying you want to murder someone outright obviously undermines any attempts at diplomacy or negotiating. About 1.5 years ago, even Joe Biden implied he never wants Zelenksy to meet face-to-face out of an assumed belief he will try to tear him apart with his bare hands. Well, now we know for sure he would do it.
