    I still cannot get over the Vogue photoshoots. Like - ok, so his wife is in several outfits. This means that she had time to change, do makeup, pose, etc. But so did Zelensky, considering he’s in the pictures. They also did interviews for the magazine. These things don’t get wrapped up within an hour.

    In other words, for some reason Zelensky chose to remain in his “relentless commander who’s too busy with war to care about appearances” persona even though it’s clear that he had ample time to do all that for a fucking photoshoot. Who the hell is falling for this propaganda? Westerners, of course, but surely Ukrainians see the first lady in expensive, elaborate outfits and their president in a tshirt next to her and think “this guy is fucking annoying.” My only other guess is it’s pushing the subconscious narrative of the unkempt warrior male who’s too busy with violence so that females can stay safe and worry about makeup and hair.
