Well technically if Trump and Putin were still both in post. Trump has always been unpredictable but took a liking to Putin. However Putin has apparently changed recently so having the two as leaders during this would have been far more inflammatory then Biden.

Biden is totally sane.

I certainly don't wish to tar all Eastern Europeans with the same brush, but Poland in particular has a serious problem with far right racism IIRC. Trying to get from Ukraine to Poland can't be easy if you don't fit the bill for some people.

Our own government website has long advised extra caution to Afro-carribeans and Indians in particular when travelling to Ukraine. Sad reality that times like this will bring out plenty of shite stories for black/Indian/other minorities.

Initial thoughts...Ukraine didn't have the best track record before this kicked off, hardly what you'd call a trustworthy nation...the president is obviously riding high on a tide of popularity in the west based mainly on people who have no idea of how corrupt a nation he governs is so to try and play on that popularity why not stick an activist into the mix to keep that support going.

Ukraine are very good at pulling stunts as well as Putin's lot....personally, and I'll probably get pelters again for this, I'm not convinced by the presidents performance or any plea from him for help from the west.

The elephant in the room is that the Ukrainian government is basically a US puppet regime and the Russians want to replace it with one of their own. The corruption in Ukraine runs deep and has ties back to the US, that's why Joe Biden's crackhead son was on the board of Burisma in Ukraine making millions in a role he wasn't qualified for.

Wasn't the fella before the current president a russian puppet? The more stuff like this comes out you can see why Putin is invading (don't agree with it obviously), and more the reason to keep out of it imo.
