Zelensky Speaks in PA

I have no problem with funding Ukraine's efforts.
I have no problem with Zelensky coming here to ask the US to write another check.
My concern, since noted by Jon to be misplaced, was his giving political points to the Harris campaign, while, supposedly, on the taxpayer's dime.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Under the present circumstances, Zelenskyi is doing nothing different than Churchill did in during his visit to the US in late 1940 and early 1941.
Don’t think for a moment that Churchill was not also a guest of the POTUS and made it clear to the American public that he did not support the America First Committee or the isolationist factions in the both the DNC and RNC in the then upcoming 1942 US presidential elections.
i agree it would be wholly inappropriate for the present day Canadian PM, British PM or President of Mexico to favour one ticket over another. But then none of the above are at war with a known adversary of the US and the NATO alliance.

It’s an incredibly foolish move on Zelenskyy’s part. There’s a 50/50 chance that guy is going to be President. A guy that is known to hold grudges…

That's evidently a risk he felt he had to take.
If it's true that he would shape crucial foreign policy on personal grudges, that's a great reason not to vote for Trump.

Agreed. Context is important.

Oh, the reasons to not vote Trump are many and strong. My problem is the alternative.

Nuance in voting preferences? What, do you think you're better than everybody else? Mr hoity toity nuance with your ability to see "pros" and "cons" between two flawed candidates?
Sorry - but - when democracy is on the line, "nuance" is just another word for "Nazi".
