Coup. The word you're looking for is a Coup. The kryptonite of the Trump regime is that it's plausible that they are legit so smooth brain stupid, that they don't realize what anything actually means. (www.theguardian.com)

I mean, all the opinion polls for starters?

He is stable second place. Nobody is even close. I bet Zelensky himself do see him as a major threat for his reelections.

Paul Manafort was just one of the names we heard. But with his ratings, he can be picky about who he is dealing with. Literally any oligarch in Ukraine would pay him a lot if that means he would do some favours.

Who were the others?

I get your point. He's popular and at some point when the dying stops, it'll be relevant. I would say it would be relevant if Vance was able to replace Zelensky with this guy before the war was over, but I don't think Vance is competent enough to make that happen, fortunately enough. I feel like people in that part of the world have a lot stronger civil immune system against disinfo.

Further, if Ukraine survives and everyone gets to go back to normal life, my guess would be that Zelensky wouldn't give two shits if a competent military commander got to take his job with his biggest concern being losing the election, but who knows.

why would anyone think Zel will run for re-election? after years of this shitshow wouldn't you be like, "i'm good. i'm done. i did my part" and fucking bail?
