    Considering that even the US’ intelligence failed to spot Zelenskyy’s character as a war leader, I think we should be wary of proclaiming that the russian’s could’ve find it out with “the most basic research”…

    In fact people often don’t really know if they’ll rise to the occasion in such a life and death situation themselves until faced with it.

    As I said, it’s easy to look at it now and think “it was obvious”, but that’s due to hindsight.
