In contrast, you know who has the best soft power, as originally defined? Ukraine.

Ukraine has no movie, music, or TV industry that people outside CIS care about. Zelensky was an actor yet his movie was tiny by global standards.

Yet Ukraine is able to force much richer and bigger countries to behave according to Ukrainian interests, without either paying them or having the military ability to coerce them.

I call that soft power.
His movie is actually one of the biggest ongoing movies in human history, if not the biggest, if you count the youtube, twitter, telegram and other social media shorts, many of which are posted on this forum.

Current gross (and counting): 40B USD

Speaking about entertainment. The Good Vibes music festival in Malaysia 2 days ago was cancelled mid-event. Thanks to the foul-mouthed LGBTQ rant from Matt Healy, the vocalist from The 1975 band (UK). He was cussing at the Malaysian government for its "anti-LGBTQ policies", and then French-kissing his male bandmate as a big "F-U" to the Malaysian government.

In case you are wondering what caused the Malaysian government to cut a 2-day long international music festival short:

Whatever your views about the LGBTQ, one should always respect the law of the land. Unless if you're a British rockstar who is drunk, and probably high on something.
