FDR was a great man but he was forged in the fires of a time far far worse. I shudder to think how bad things need to get before we get leadership like that back.
Ok, full props to Zelenskyy. He is certainly doing a better job than any current leaders I can think of and he should have been able to count on the U.S. for full support. I would even support deploying our own troops.
But better than any leader the U.S. has had for 100 years? That’s quite the suck up. You can respect and support without being a blatant kiss ass. It’s embarrassing for you and for him.
He served five terms because he was so good he was massively popular, the conservatives paniced and pushed for term limits afterwards as they were scared of the idea of people running with policies that benifted the majority of people repetedly getting long periods of power like that.
American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was less than 100 years ago. He was a damned good world leader IMO.

Probably one of the best leaders of any country.
Delete the first word of that post. Your post now starts with “One”, and from there you change nothing.
NOW your post is accurate.
Also American. I fully and emphatically agree.
I still cannot believe we are betraying them, the Europe and featuring ourselves and I feel powerless to stop it.
Look for the protest actions, join them. Like, casually, just happen to be there.
You’ll probably find like minded people there and as you connect to more people, that hopelessness will go away!
1000%. Also American (regretfully, at this point).

Who among the US presidents has been better since Rosevelt?
Carter is the ONLY one who comes close.
FDR was still within the last 100 years though…
The guy who served 5 terms, started the cold war, and became the basis for why we needed the 2 term limit?
