our president is hailed as a chad, while his is mocked and ridiculed. Great success!
Okay, but this is just objectively untrue. In the west? Sure, Zelensky is more well liked and Putin gets mocked a lot (even verging into homophobic territory). But domestically? Seems like people like Putin well enough, save for typical political criticisms that you’ll see in any country regarding the leader.
Also how juvenile to refer to Zelensky as a “chad” and calling that a success. Dude got steamrolled in the White House, that’s not very “chad-like” to me. I guess geopolitics is just memes for redditors…
In the global south too Putin is way more popular. But as you said, this is a pretty infantile way of approaching geopolitics, as if it’s some kind of popularity contest.

Exactly, if they want to judge politics based on popularity then the dreaded Putin wins by a large margin.
