Zelenskyy didn’t say US troops needed to fight in Ukraine

But the full context of the clip reveals that the Ukrainian president was talking about a hypothetical situation in which Russia invades NATO member countries, not calling for Americans to fight in his country.

Video of the conference shows that Zelenskyy was answering a question about his message to Americans who believe the U.S. is giving too much support to Ukraine. He started by thanking Americans for their ongoing support, then addressed what might happen if Ukraine loses the war.

“The U.S. is never going to give up on the NATO member states,” Zelenskyy says in the video. “If it happens so that Ukraine, due to various opinions and weakening, depleting of assistance, loses, Russia is going to enter Baltic states, NATO member states, and then the U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending their sons and daughters to war. And they will have to fight. Because it’s NATO that we’re talking about, and they will be dying, god forbid, because it’s a horrible thing.”

The people here touting Russia are fools and worse. Their tactics are EXACTLY those of leftist democrats.

There wasn’t anything offensive in Zelensky’s quote, even taken out of context.

When someone tries to warn you that your enemy is coming for you next, and you claim to despise the person warning you, then you are an absolute fool or a traitor to your own country. Or a leftist plain and simple.

The idiot talks way, way too much.

He can take his “message” and choke on it.

I despise the little psychotic.
