The beret, was part of the Che Guevara persona. It was his brand. Zelenskyy has his pretend fatigues. That’s his brand.
He was an actor and comedian in his previous life and here again, he’s role playing. It’s his latest paid gig.
At least Che Guevara like his “brother” Fidel Castro, was a political activist and rebel through and through from beginning to end.
This is all about “brand Zelenskyy”, this short arsed dweeb, wis his inferiority complex, his ego and his narcissism. His overall misplaced sense of self importance
It’s a fight to to keep Brand Z alive and his name recognition in lights.
It’s his point of relevance and so he’s not interested in any kind of peace deal. A peace deal to him means anonymity and the dustbin of history.
One wonders how many people including media pundits watched the entire 50 minutes of the Oval Offioce knockdown dragout? Judging from the mediocre, driveby uninformed opinion, very few.
If they had they would know where (at the +/- the 40 minute mark) this thing went sideways. And it wasn’t Trump or Vance.
It was the extra demands of Zelenskyy, orchestrated by some Democrats in a meeting prior.
To give an indication of his total diplomatic cluelessness, Zelenskyy actually campaigned for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. Not imagining that he may be dealing with Trump in less than six months.
Why did Zelenskyy make a flying visit to sign the deal if he had no intention of doing so but instead sort to add an extra layer and believed he could best achieve this by (in the words of JD Vance) litigating the entire thing in front of the global media? He had know idea either who or what he was dealking with.
It’s a strange world where the one trying to orchestrate a peace deal is maligned as the villain and the war monger in a war he can’t possibly win, is revered as a hero.
