That phrase has been haunting me because I have been growing more concerned that nobody has seen the "other" implication of this condition.
This "public box" was verbatim and the investigators have appropriately surmised that it meant that Zelinsky should make a public announcement given all the evidence. But I keep getting a double entendre from it.
It seems to me that there was not only a desire to have this public theater for the benefit of re-election (and even another double meaning here) but to have this claim made by Zelinsky in such a way would expose him to ridicule within Ukraine and destroy Zelinsky's credibility and presidency right off the bat by having this recorded corrupt act to hold against him by putin. Because putin wants Zelinsky to fail.
A double double entendre if you will. The insistence on a public announcement was to also frame Zelinsky as corrupt to destroy his intent for reform and defeating the fight with russia.
I can't help but see that as the underlying situation Zelinsky is in and he had the wisdom to avoid participation. Exact words matter in this messaging. I also think that ImMF45's obsession with the word"perfect" in reference to his phone call is that pootin said that to him when he received his report card on his performance. "Perfect!" I can just hear him saying that knowing the idiot would eat it up like chocolate cake.
Thoughts?
