    Well, you present your question within the framework of whether or not Zelensky is right, or not.

    So, the "rightness" or 'wrongness" of anything Zelensky says or does should be approached from the standpoint of who and what Zelensky is -- especially when the matter under discussion involves the potential death of millions of people.

    Before becoming president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky had an extensive background that invites inspection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy . And during the development of his career as a comedian, entertainer, and media entrepreneur, Zelensky became closely involved with Ukrainian 'oligarch' billionaire, Ihor Kolomoyskyi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihor_Kolomoyskyi .

    At the latter link, we learn, "In April 2021, Kolomoyskyi and his wife and children were banned from entering the U.S. The United States Department of State accused him of corruptly using his time as Governor of Dnipropetrovsk to personally enrich himself. He was "involved in corrupt acts that undermined rule of law and the Ukrainian public's faith in their government's democratic institutions and public processes, including using his political influence and official power for his personal benefit." In his statement Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: 'While this designation is based on acts during his time in office, I also want to express concern about Kolomoyskyy’s current and ongoing efforts to undermine Ukraine’s democratic processes and institutions, which pose a serious threat to its future.'"

    I'll stop right there and ask if we should confer belief in (and continue to shower billions of dollars upon) Ihor Kolomoyskyi's one-time close associate, Volodymyr Zelensky?

    Zelenskyy asked the US for more ammo and got more ammo
    lots and lots more, and the war got bigger.

    The basic theory is that gasoline is a cold liquid so if you throw
    enough buckets of it on a burning house then the fire will eventually
    go out, and a nearby gas station will also get rich.

    This was said on Feb 25th when less than 3% as many people had
    been killed than at present.

    My response would be "fix our own border 1st. " Then we could discuss accountability and objective about Ukraine.
