Comments by "The Zero Line" (@The_ZeroLine) on "Zelenskyy's Historic Speech to Congress (w/ SUBTITLES)" video.

I love the man, but let’s not go crazy here. He stood up well under the IMMENSE pressure of speaking to all of congress and on national TV in a second language. So, purely from a rhetorical POV, it was never going to be a speech to compare with Lincoln, Churchill, MLK, JFK, etc. I think he wisely struck to a moderate. I think he missed some opportunities in his speech and during his stay, I think he made a couple minor optics mistakes. But, yeah, overall he did a really good job.

I actually enjoy giving speeches / public speaking, but I cannot imagine the pressure of giving a speech in a second language to Congress and an entire country in a situation like this.

@alexsin4821 US public opinion doesn’t change let alone on one speech. Those who liked him found even more reason to like. Those who dislike found more petty reasons to dislike (e.g., Tucker Carlson ranting to his viewers about VZ not wearing a suit, portraying him as a bedfellow to their sworn enemies like Pelosi and so on). For those who don’t pay attention to the news or politics much (a majority of Americans), nothing changed. There may be tiny upticks and downticks based on changes in the stock market, news from the battlefield, etc., but basically count on opinions staying static overall. The only real variable and important question is when and if the minority GOP opposition will ever make a legislative move against Ukraine.
