    All the money spent coordinating that visit could be better spent fighting the war in Ukraine.

    …you do realize that the ONLY reason the money coming in to Ukraine at the pace it is is because he said exactly the right things on the world stage at the right time in such a charismatic way that people believed in him enough that fundraising basically started flowing in?

    His diplomatic/networking/fundraising acumen is WHY the money is flowing in, ya doofus.

    Why the hell wouldn’t he be furiously trying to arrange in-person meetings where he can use his personal social skills to forge diplomatic ties?

      So, you’re saying that him going to visit Israel in person will result in more aid to Ukraine, enough to outweigh the costs of facilitating such a visit?

      You could be right. You could be wrong. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

      I think that Ukraine would receive the same amount of aid regardless of if Zelensky goes to Israel in person.
