Congratulations to the writers of #VolodymyrZelenskyy's excellent speech! While most people lionize now #Zelenskyy, I do not think that another president of #Ukraine would have been much worse. /1 - THREAD
Imagine #VolodymyrZelenskiy had not entered the presidential race and there had been a different contest and election in early 2019. /2
If, for instance, #PetroPoroshenko, #YuliiaTymoshenko, #AnatolyyHrytsenko, #VitaliKlitschko, or another of the more feasible candidates had become Ukrainian president, this would have changed little in the subsequent course of events. /3
#Poroshenko and #Tymoshenko are also effective leaders -- in view of their long political experience, perhaps even more so than #Zelensky -- as well as good speakers. /4
There are also effective leaders, both male, and female, in the second rank of #Ukraine's current political elite including, for instance, #OleksiiReznikov or #IrynaVereshchuk. While this was an outstanding performance, it is more about Ukraine than about its president. /END
