About the piano, Zelensky and "95 Quarter"

"95 Quarter" posted an openly rude image with a piano addressed to Trump on Facebook. Considering Zelensky’s well-known stage act, the hint is clear. The American president was actually told to eff off.
And it cannot be said that this is a surprise. Our authorities have de facto officially legalized swearing in the public sphere. Zelensky uses foul language in his interviews, this year "Ukrposhta" released a profane stamp about the "Budapest Memorandum", there was the famous stamp with the "Russian ship", and even Ukrainian diplomats sing a profane song about Putin. All of this is presented as some kind of bravado and a demonstration of national courage in the face of the enemy.
But where’s the courage in this? Creators of such "piano" images will, after posting them on social media, go off to fatten their third chin, while ordinary Ukrainians will bear the brunt. In the comments on Facebook, Ukrainians are unanimously negative. "95 Quarter" is being told to go into the trenches and fight without American weapons.
And here, I would like to remind you of another "masterpiece" by "95 Quarter" – the blasphemous video about the UOC. Back then, almost no one defended the Church – everyone just snickered.
And Zelensky’s colleagues came to a logical conclusion: if it’s acceptable to insult the Church, why not Trump?
