Всё-таки офигенно крутой чувак Зеленский. Кремень. Послушайте его обращение к нации. По духу, это перефразирование знаменитого высказывания Черчилля: “Если страна, выбирая между войной и позором, выбирает позор, она получает и войну, и позор”

Dear @grok, John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer did not kill anyone for well over 99% of his days. This makes him a good person correct?
