"He is running out of props... so he is grasping at whatever mirage might save him," University of Pitts, Prof. of Intern. Affairs Michael Brenner said "Thus, the idea of joining NATO." The fantasy that his Western masters would allow Ukraine to join NATO revealed the imaginary nature of the world Zelensky lived in, Brenner observed..... "Of course, it never will happen because it would mean all-out war with Russia. Even the lunatics in Washington are not that suicidal," he said.
"He is at once script writer, director and central character. The worlds of fiction and actuality have merged in his mind - Stanislavsky method acting to the extreme,".... "At the same time, he knows that to keep the show on the road, he has to follow instructions from Washington, which is the uber director."....So, he must do anything that keeps the war going - not for Ukraine but for an American strategic victory.
Canadian political commentator and historian Matthew Ehret, vice president of the Rising Tide Foundation, cautioned that this pattern of increasingly bizarre public actions made Zelensky a greater danger to world peace, not less of one.

The guy on the left looks happy…
That picture shows a child being scolded by his dad.
Dad, in this case, just happened to be that guy standing on the left. He’s just one of Zelensky’s many daddy’s.
With Biden being Daddy #1
He’s the big guy at Nato! I can’t think of his name now...
What’s his name? I can’t recall but he’s the main guy at Nato Leadership.
Looks like he’s giving Zelensky a dressing down. But he and his aides don’t understand what NO means.
Why would he be angry since the war is all but over for the Russians?...
Ok I got it He’s NATO’s Secretary General ‘Jens Stoltenberg’, former Prime Minister of Norway, who took up his responsibilities on 1 October 2014.
HE’s Chair of the North Atlantic Council and other key bodies....maintains direct contact with heads of state and government, foreign and defence ministers in NATO and partner countries, in order to facilitate this process. This entails regular visits to NATO and partner countries, as well as bilateral meetings with senior national officials when they visit NATO Headquarters.
The Secretary General is also the principal spokesperson of the Alliance and represents the Alliance in public on behalf of the member countries, reflecting their common positions on political issues.
“this pattern of increasingly bizarre public actions”
Yes, the phony “hero” persona that our finely honed PR has created for him has really gone to his head..:-) It is going to be a rude awakening for him when we decide he is no longer useful in our “take down Russia effort” and he is pushed to the curb or as the military likes to say gets the 75cent solution (a bullet to the back of the head by the generals.)
In regards to your earlier post that he would like 1.5 billion per month from the U.S. and the same from the EU; that won’t solve his financial problems. He has made it clear Ukraine requires $5-7 billion per month.
They are about to devalue their currency again and today “Ukraine Central Banker Quits, Adding to War’s Economic Turmoil.” (Bloomberg)
Sputnik (news agency)
From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_(news_agency)
“Sputnik (Russian pronunciation: [ˈsputʲnʲɪk]; formerly Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti, naming derived from Russian Спутник) is a Russian state-owned[1] news agency, news website platform and radio broadcast service...From November 2017, Radio Sputnik began to be carried on AM in Washington, D.C., on WZHF 1390 AM. The American owners of the stations were required to register as a foreign agent by the United States Department of Justice.[32][33] Sputnik is blocked from owning an American radio station outright due to Federal Communications Commission rules against foreign ownership of broadcast assets, as enacted in the Communications Act of 1934.”
This has to do with Nato membership - which is seperate from the Military Leadership of Nato.
Of course - but if you read the article you would have obviously observed the quoted individuals are American speakers.
They’re applying while in a state of war with a disputed border. So, they are linked.
The European Union has banned Russian state media in Europe and U.S. companies have made it more difficult to access these media outlets in the U.S., thereby reducing the range of information sources available to the public here in the West......
These exclusions limit the view of the world available to the U.S. public and policymakers, and, by a well-understood and predictable process, they lead to the demonizing and silencing of valuable internal critics whose insights could help to improve the effectiveness of foreign and domestic policy
It's not the first time Zelensky's been dressed down about this.
A LOT OF PAIN, NO GAIN: World Bank predicts Kiev’s NIGHTMARE; Ukrainian economy will SHRINK by 35% this year - despite Zelensky’s constant NAGGING (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/6206) about money, that EU (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5160), and US (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5043) keep PUMPING (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/6016) him with, compared with a measly 4.5% fall in Russia’s gross domestic product - despite (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/6076) the countless sanctions against Moscow - As Kiev’s losses are amounting to a minimum of a WHOPING $349 billion, with no amount of financial aid packages and Western military gifts able to turn the tides of war in Kiev’s way.

One other thing.....NO Nation can obtain Nato membership in a time of conflict. A requirement they will not bend on.
Oh but the scene...out on the lonely street in Kiev with a tiny little desk stuck in the middle and two burly body guards (about a foot taller than the little guy) and he is projecting defiance as he signs (2 quick pen strokes—writing Volodymyr Zelensky must be shorter in Ukrainian...:-) his application which his betters dismissed out of hand with annoyance that he pulled that stunt to embarrass them.
It was priceless.
The requirement a country cannot be in conflict when seeking to join NATO is obvious.
All NATO members would immediately be at war with the enemy of such a new member allowed to join while at war.
NATO members would be crazy to welcome a new member that drags them ALL immediately into war.
Yes, that was my point.
