Conquering Ukraine with "Seinfeld" (comedy)
Seinfeld: Kramer and Newman play "Risk" and fight over Ukraine
(Seinfeld via Vondur, 1/30/16) "What's that?" asks George. "Oh, it's 'Risk,'" answers Jerry. "It's a game of world domination being played by two guys who can barely run their own lives." Even then, in Seinfeld's heyday, "The Ukraine," which is what people called it, was a touchy subject -- particularly on the subway with any Ukrainians standing around.
It was a "road apple" waiting to be smashed. Now it has a short, Jewish comedian for president in one Vladimir Zelenski (a.k.a. Volodymyr Zelenskyy) which the mainstream media is trying to convince us is "hot." Not. His cover girl wife, Olena Zelenska, is attractive like Trump's arm charm with the ability to speak flawless English.
From TV comedian to Ukraine's leader
Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska's heart-warming message amid trouble, says will not panic or flee
(India Today, March 1st, 2022)
As Ukraine is fighting invading Russian troops, a message from Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska shared a heartwarming post days after her husband, Ukraine's president, and their family decided to return to the capital city of Kyiv (Kiev). In a video message released on Friday, Zelenskyy stated that Russia had designated him as "target number one" and his family as "target number two."
Olena offered her opinions on the continuing battle in a new Instagram post on Friday: "I shall not be in a state of panic or weeping. I'll be composed and certain. My kids are staring at me. I'll be right next to them. And right next to my hubby. And with you," Ukraine's first lady wrote beside a photo of the Ukrainian flag on Instagram.
