Zelenskyy’s victory tour
I had to laugh when I read that newspaper heading. What the missing word between Zelenskyy and victory is, is the word… Russia’s.
I don’t see any way that Zelenskyy can win, but as long as he gets more money (minus his alleged Bitcoin commissions) for Ukraine, more lethal toys (to help our offense defense industry) and enough soldiers left to fight Russia since they are dying quickly, he can keep this going.
That is, until he runs for it, like the president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, did after we left Afghanistan, since we knew the Afghan government were defeated so we ran for it before so we could “claim” victory and it was Ghani fault.
But we left a huge number of weapons for the Taliban to use, to help them out. Why they weren’t destroyed, I do not know. Perhaps Biden was confused! He could have thought his aides were talking to him about banning televisions, Teli-ban, so he said no? Really?
But probably because we were helping the offense defense industry, since these weapons needed to be replaced at a huge cost to American taxpayers. After all, our military had huge stockpiles of unused weapons so needed to get rid of them, so they could order more, up-to-date, toys.
There is only so much space for these lethal toys to be stored, so we must have conflicts and give-aways so we can refill those spaces. Simple logic.
It always comes down to the money, the ultimate common denominator.
But I do have to wonder why Zelenskyy’s wife hasn’t volunteered for front line combat? Too risky, or it gets in the way for her european shopping trips? Those trips may not be true, but her not being patriotic and serving her country as a soldier is.
Perhaps she will join as a public relations gesture… and be assigned to guarding Kiev, as far away from danger as she can get. Even “worse” perhaps assigned as a PR soldier and sent to Paris, France to plead the case for more money, plus evening shopping trips.
But President Biden’s last act may be to inflame the Russia ns a little more until President Putin gets serious. Serious enough to start sending shoulder fired rockets to Israel’s new concentration camp – the Gaza Strip and Lebanon so Hamas and Hezbollah can shoot down Israeli airplanes that are currently “shooting fish in a barrel” Better than Xbox.
Sadly, Biden is senile so doesn’t know what he’s doing and Kamala Harris is nodding and cackling. Only former President Trump knows enough to cut off Zelenskyy if he wins, so Harris must do the opposite as it will validate Trump. She can never do that.
