pn937. Jacinda, Brilliant at the UN. Watch and listen to her here.

 

You may not agree with her party or politics, but you'd have to agree she was brilliant on the world stage at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week.  No notes. no screen prompts, she spoke without hesitation for quarter of an hour.  

Try it youself. Select a topic with which you're faimilar. Stand up. Face your imaginary audience, and see how long you cn speak for without even hesitating once.   Listen here.

My only negative comment is that she attributed the Ukraine situation solely to an aggressive Russia, taking no note of the steady expansion eastwards of US-led NATO and the internal ethno-political situation in the Ukraine.

In my nine years in the UN I never heard a leader deliver such an eloquent speech.
