Zelenskyy the Puppet

 Ronald Reagan is not well remembered today.  It is not often we see one of his films on television, even on the movie channels.  Perhaps he was not a stellar actor, or his roles were not flattering.  He did a movie with a chimp, but so did Clint Eastwood.  There is no comparison between the two, and Clint Eastwood has impacted American consciousness in film for eternity as an actor, a director, a writer, and a composer.  Ronald Reagan is much more well known as a past president of the United States.  Before he became president he was the governor of California.  I don't know much about his work as a governor, but as a working actor in Hollywood it seems like a reasonable transition.  Arnold Schwarzeneggar also became governor of California, and it is because they were actors they were elected governor.  Who can say if they were effective in this leadership role.  I had a favorable opinion of Ronald Reagan, but like the majority of America my opinion was a direct result of his campaign.  The men that "ran" Ronald Reagan for president created his persona, and told him what to do.  He had little to do with what he accomplished as a president.  He looked good on camera, learned his lines, hit his marks, and didn't create controversy.  He was married to a well known woman who also steered him.  Ronald Reagan's presidency was a construct by a consortium of influential California business elites who found him, tutored him, and molded him into their puppet to do their bidding.  Volodymyr Zelenskyy also is an actor.  How did he become the president of Ukraine?  The last we had heard about Ukraine was Rudy Giuliani was conspiring with Russian mobsters to sell natural gas to them.  How suddenly did Ukraine emerge as an American ally?  Ukraine has plentiful natural resources and manufacturers a plethora of world-consumed products.  How can they be poor?  Zelenskyy seems like an honest and trust-worthy leader, but so did Ronald Reagan until we found out who was "running" him.  Who is running Zelenskyy?
