No direct politics involved, although there is plenty of politics in the mix, its just funny and sad at the same time.

What the hell was he thinking?

As for the population of a country electing actors that they see on their TV’s, I suppose that it can go either way. We have had Reagan and that worked out OK, and now we have Trump, who is a kind of TV star. And I like very much where that is going.

People like the story that they have created in their heads and those on TV who tend to pander to and reinforce those story lines has an advantage. The result of which remains to be seen in the Ukrain.
