Zelensky has proven himself as a great war leader. But to believe that
Ukraine's fate rests only on Zelensky is to misunderstand Ukrainian society
entirely. Ukraine is fighting as an organism, not as a top down
organisation, and it would continue the fight even without a leader.


In the book THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING, Ukraine (and the Basque region) are
cited historically, from the way back time, as areas, societies, countries,
that from what we can tell from records did just fine in life without the
hierarchical stratification and bureaucratizing that many societies fell
into as the critical mass of their peoples massed.

Another history of early Ukraine, we're talking later than 4th Century,
around the 8th C in fact when the Vikings swooped, one of a number of
hordes on horseback---is this a meaning of those horse and black riders in
TRP?--- and took over, "conquered', they were finally expelled 400 years or
so years later and the effect on indigenous Urainians was almost zero.
