If you had the misfortune to be on social media yesterday, your timeline would have been absolutely brimming with leftist politicians from all western countries declaring their undying commitment to Ukraine.
The sickening synchronised display of fealty to Ukraine belied their deeper and more real commitment to war without end because believe me, that’s exactly what they want and hat t
Central to the Zelensky worship was the EU whose politicians fell over each other to get to Kiev and get the photoshoot with the tiny dictator. They pledged to do all they can to protect Ukraine borders against Russia EVEN as they leave their borders wide open to the third world.
Why do they behave like this? Well, in my opinion, this entire Ukraine war is just a vast financial grift for these hateful politicians to enrich themselves. They could not care less about the loss of life and the carnage that has accompanied it. In fact, they pretend that “79,000” Ukrainians have lost their lives when the true figure is closer to 500,000. An entire generation of young Ukrainian men has been lost and they could not give a sh*t about it. Instead they virtue signal and pretend that Putin was the sole aggressor when that is untrue.
From 2014, the USA/NATO axis were working on fermenting conflict with Russia. As you know they manipulated Poroshenko in 2014 and then Zelensky in 2019. The trap was set and given the Kiev assault on Donbas and the slaughter of the Russian speaking people living there combined with the pledge to join NATO, I don’t blame Putin for taking action, do you? That said, I also regret the loss of ALL life during thei extended ritual sacrifice to the gods of war.
Trump is bringing this utterly pointless conflict to an end. The grift is ending whether the EU likes it or not. Ukraine will remain a deeply corrupt country and Zelensky will eventually leave. Russia will emerge more powerful and more connected.
Everything the EU touches turns to rust!
Zelensky has millions tucked away in property in the USA, which would make any honest observer suspicious years ago. I’m glad David Vance has had the courage to come out with the fact that Zelensky is revelling in seeing himself as a war leader. I see the style as cute little “David v Goliath” rather than Churchillian. That’s how victim politics works.
My heart went out to the Russian mothers who protested in Moscow because they knew their sons would be conscripted and killed in this conflict.
This mess should have been resolved in 2014 with the first move by Russia to get its oil lines secured. Who failed? NATO. The snatching of the whole of Crimea followed. To historians and strategists, the time for the West to ensure Russia wasn’t left feeling sore and fearful was just after the fall of the Berlin Wall but nothing substantial was done even then to placate them and prevent future conflict.
I sympathise with ordinary people on both sides of this but I think Zelensky has lost the support now of most Ukrainians and his propaganda success in the West is wearing thin.
This entire unhinged rant might have been written by the Kremlin press office. You have swallowed every untruth uttered by Putin and his apologists without a pause for thought. That's hardly surprising from someone so naive that he used to make appearances on Putin's propaganda network RT (in the company of such great patriots as George Galloway and Ken Livingstone). There were people like you in 1939. They were called traitors, appeasers and Nazi apologists, and many of them were interned. It's what you deserve too.
