Bless the heroes who think their actions ordinary. Ignorant of their strength, they lift us to stand beside them.

@bethbo_beth I was watching Zelenskyy and reminded much of Ukraine is without heat and running water. When you consider that, we are doing okay.

I've never felt the urge to stand beside a road holding a sign of support as a motorcade roles by.

I've never felt it until today.

Three observations re: press conference:

1: Translating from Ukrainian to English must be hard af. Every translator struggled to render Zelynskyy's remarks fluently and cogently.

2: How addicted we US folks are to soundbite-politics! Zelynskyy delivered complex ideas (if haltingly translated) yet I sense they'll fall on deaf US media ears because they aren't soundbite-compatible.

3: Decency and humor truly are universal. Nothing Zelynskyy said landed better than his jokes.

Ali Velshi pointed out that a lot of people doubted Zelenskyy "could stand up to Putin".

I've never been a foreign policy expert, ever.

But to the extent anyone thought that for whatever reasons they had.

Zelenskyy has absolutely proven everyone wrong.

And this world is moving, hopefully, to a better place because of his leadership.

Zelenskyy mentions he has great words of thanks for those who value "justice and freedom"

Damn right.

"We have no fear, nor should anyone in the world...Ukraine has gained this victory, which gives us courage, which inspires the entire world..."

"Americans have gained this victory...which is why you have united the world in upholding international law"

"Europeans have gained this victory and is now stronger..."

"Russian tyranny...has lost control over us"

Zelensky is a popular TV star who has become an admired world leader. Our former guy was also a TV personality, but as a leader, he was a spectacular faiure…

"We have never asked American soldiers to fight on our soil, but we can perfectly operate your tanks and planes, ourselves

Financial assistance is greatly important as well, and I thank you, thank you very much for the packages you've provided, and ones you may be willing to decide on

Your money is not charity - it is an investment in global security and democracy in the most responsible way"

Wow

"We already built a strong Ukraine, with you. We did it during peace, together with you

And, together with you, we'll put in place everyone who will defy freedom

This will be the basis to protect democracy in Europe and the world order

At Christmastime, I want to thank every American family which cherishes the warmth of its home, and wishes the same for other people

This is the first "historical event" I think I've lived through in quite some time that I'm actually glad to have experienced.

I think Zelenskky's visitors shouted "God Bless America" from the balcony.

I just.

Imagine what we could be if we tried as hard as him.
