And old, senior pilots stepping aside to let these young hotshot pilots take on dangerous mission. Because these young kid pilots remind them of their younger selves , full of courage and idealism.

And as their youthful spirit and energy have touched them, they will sacrifice themselves for these young hotshots, telling them to never give up their dreams.

I'm not spitting in our face, I'm pointing out that it took us a year to agree to get started to ramp up shell production. It was clear from the first months that the rate couldn't be sustained. But in good bureaucratic fashion, spent a year doing what exactly.

We can't go to Kyiv to do photo-ops with Zelensky and talk about how we'll ensure Ukraine's security and then not actually take the steps necessary to achieve that. If we aren't actually committed, it's better to push for a ceasefire then.

Now what is clear is that Ukraine is leading an oldfashioned mechanised all arms war with high ammunition use. The EU tries to help but it is not really the organization to deliver ammo to deliver the Ukrainian demands. It would be much better if some countries like the US or Germany would put some factories up to equip Ukraine.

His stance regarding Korea has caused a lot of controversy with Koreans. His cabinet has also been with scandal after scandal having 4 cabinet ministers fired in two months. He has yet to make do on his campaign promise of “New Capitalism”. His economy is stagnant. There’s a massive problem with low-wages and a huge gender disparity and not to mention the incoming depopulation issue.

His approval ratings were dismal at 21-30% for months.

Just because he paid a surprise visit to Ukraine, it doesn’t make him any good. You think most people care about foreign matters when domestically it’s a shambles?

Probably but a peace deal is never happening without Russia fully withdrawing and giving Crimea back. Zelensky knows he is winning by a significant margin and things are only getting worse and worse for Russia so he has no reason to back down and give them anything. Since Putin is hell-bent on getting those territories because he knows he'll loose power (and most likely his life) if he does not win, there is no possibility for negotiation.
