    internationally Zelensky is the only charismatic Ukrainian liberals have attached to

    Because he’s been the one getting all the attention and praise. Modi gets the same treatment in India. Macron gets the same treatment in France. Milei has been getting big glow-ups in Argentina since he began running for office. NPR/CNN/et-al are still trying to make Navalny a thing in Russia.

    They could bring in new media darlings if they wanted to. It would just take a bunch of work, running this person through the media machine a few dozen times until Americans were comfortable with them again. But then… why? What’s the point? When you already have Zelensky and he’s already doing literally everything you ask of him, what else do you actually need?
