I don't know if it's coordinated or if it's individual Ukraine servicemen working on their own, but their use of social media to send messages to attacking Russians, while letting the whole world listen in, takes the whole concept to a new level. It's a work of collective art.
Partly, I think it's because Ukrainians understand their enemy. We haven't understood ours since perhaps the First World War.
And Ukrainians certainly understand Russians more than Russians appear to understand Ukrainians.

He is showing us the way. How to win the war the PutinGOP is waging against us and American democracy.
It is high time to fight back before we lose our democracy.

(2,992 posts)Zelensky, like all good comedians, understands people and really knows how to use language. (This is why Al Franken was such a great senator, and why I'd like to see him in the Senate again.) He's demonstrating his rhetorical skills like no other contemporary leader.
But I'm also seeing really good content coming from what I assume are rank-and-file Ukrainian servicemen. They're getting under Russian soldiers' skin to great effect. (Great affect? I can't remember.)
