Yes, I was shocked and I know it was genuine expression. Obviously he believes in government in the u.s. that works and works for it's people. That is why Ukraine will no longer exist East of the Dinpro or Odessa. Russia can not trust any us./nato agreement that would allow a rebuild of Ukrainian military. Ukraine will be a neutered state without power, a farm field and not owned by Blackrock or Bill Gates. I know when I read his speech I was stunned. I actually think that means he is a person of intelligence and trust. Intelligent people are easily fooled. I am not easily fooled ha.

People who head states have no right to be gullible. They must be cynical in their role and work for the interests of their country and not their own values, whatever they are.

One can and should be a good person in their personal life, but when one is responsible for lots of other people - better work for the interests of those people or get the hell out if you can't handle schizo mode required for the role.

I agree, and he thought the u.s. was doing the same which would be peace not spending 22TRILLION on offense. I believe he thought we in the u.s. were working for the people of the u.s. not the Billionaire few. Agreed shockingly ignorant of the depth of greed in the u.s. considering what we know of Russian oligarchs of which he is one. Shocking, maybe he believed the campaign speeches ha.
