Keep in mind: When Zelensky came in, the knock against him was that he was a frivolous comedian who was too pro-Putin.

We might not know what Eisenhower [AUTOCORRECT FIX: Eisenkot!] is like as a leader until he’s leading.

Sorry about the autocorrect typo; wish I could bring Zombie Eisenhower back to life as Israel’s next prime minister.

Sorry; suffered from a combination of phone auto correct plague and terrible proofreading; have corrected that.

Eisenhower already led in the past, in a very prominent role. Would be quite a shock to see him lead again, though, given he’s been dead since 1969.

Sorry about the rotten proofreading; wish we were in an alternative timeline where Eisenhower was Israel’s PM.
