Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ukrainian president confirms he’s thinking about dismissing the country’s military chief

That doesn't sound like something one should just openly say if they don't want to get coup'd. Either just do it or shut up about it until you do.
"Hello, guy who's in control of my military? I might or might not dismiss you, idk tho"

You're absolutely right. Just look at him:

If I casted a 2005 movie about a Ukrainian wartime coup I would be begging for Zelensky and this guy to play the two main roles

Who does this guy remind me of? I've seen some character with his face recently but can't place it.

He looks like a meathead version of Andy Serkis.

I mean it would be very funny if Zaluzhny snapped Zelenskyyyyyy like a twig and fed him to vultures

Yea that strikes me as a really bad move. Why announce you're "thinking about it"? Either lock him out overnight and strip him of official power fast enough that he can't react or keep your mouth shut. Zelensky may as well be asking to be couped (not victim blaming) if he's behaving like this
