‘THE MAN WITH NO CARDS TO PLAY’: Americans, Russians and Even Ukrainians TORCH Zelensky for Grandstanding in the Face of a Catastrophe

Prodded by the Euro-Globalists like UK’s Keir Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron, and cheered by the world’s USAID-media, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky keeps undercutting the peace process with his grandstanding, making all kinds of demands that he will never get.

Besides torpedoing today’s negotiations, the Kiev leader may have provoked the US Donald J. Trump’s administration one too many times, risking an American withdrawal from negotiations that would guarantee a much faster collapse of his combat capabilities on his losing war.

Trump took to Truth Social to blast Zelensky’s behavior after another rug-pull from him.

“Ukraine’s UN Ambassador just said Germany should give 30% of its army equipment to Ukraine.”

That would not surprise me. This whole thing feels very wrong on multiple levels and as if the real intention is much more nefarious and involves a long played out effort to neuter the free Christian West, use up its money, weapons and munitions and leave it weaker or even broken and our allies like Taiwan, Israel and South Korea vulnerable.

He knows that when there’s peace there will be elections, and he’s done. He’s just waiting for the right payoff offer to show up. Once he gets that, he’s gone.

At this point, we have created a self fulfilling prophecy.

Russia allied with China and the expansion of BRICs. Russia more closely cooperating with Iran and expanded influence in India (ignored by our media). Russia's massive increase in the size of their armed forces and defense spending while more aggressively operating against us in Africa, the Middle East, etc.

We have created an enemy to where we now need to take action. Pre-war, Russia was spending about the same percentage of their GDP on war as we were but with a much smaller economy, ~4%. They had ground forces about 55% ours, an air force 47% ours, and a navy 43% ours. They were a peacetime economy and the only area where they enjoyed parity with us was with their nuclear arsenal. In fact, BECAUSE Russia was conventionally so weak (hardly a near peer) we didn't take them serious and acted with impunity.

Sometimes, we “create” the enemy or threat we fear, through our own actions.

The economic and political challenges long term created by this conflict we started, the reemergence of a military threat, will be something we cannot ignore. And it was all unnecessary!

Rhetorical: Was NATO East expansion and ignoring Russia's protests/concerns worth it? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/

I’m curious - what happened to the “Zelensky is kicking ass” crowd?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Pull the U.S. out and walk away. Let the little creep stand on his own. His own people will get him before the Russians do.

[Georgia Girl 2]

You could fit 30% of Germany’s military equipment on the head of a pin.🙄

[Dr. Franklin]

Why are you not over there fighting? Instead, you’re here trying to convince us to send our children to fight?

Non sequitur

Why aren't you in Vienna defending Europe from the modern Muslim invasion?

Why aren't you in Vienna defending Europe from the modern Muslim invasion?

I spent too many years as a pawn for globalists in foreign wars. Why would a Christian Shepherd leave his flock to wolves and thieves? Has it made America better? Are our borders more secure? Are our families stronger? It is exactly because of your type of globalist interventionism that we’re loosing our country to the fifth column within opening the door to wolves and thieves.

[sarge83]

Don’t you talk that way about the Zeepers Little Georgie W Jr! Only with this mans stubbornness, greed, corruption, and ineptness can the Zeepers, the deep state and EU warmongers keep the blood flowing!

Well, it's good that you finally wised up, but this isn't about you....

Why would a Christian Shepherd leave his flock to wolves and thieves? Has it made America better? Are our borders more secure? Are our families stronger?

The issue is Europe addressing the wolf at the door in Europe, and you object to that.

It is exactly because of your type of globalist interventionism that we’re loosing our country to the fifth column within opening the door to wolves and thieves.

What "globalist interventionism"? We spent trillions of dollars to defeat the Soviet Union, and now Putin wants to recreate it by force. Ukraine was invaded by its larger neighbor, which had promised to defend its independence. It's neighbors to the West have supported it, as did the U.S., largely with old, outdated weapons that it would otherwise need to pay to decommission. Russia is weak enough now that the Europeans can takeover managing the problem without us spending any more on it. You must not be much of a Pole to want Russia to conquer the lands of the Commonwealth.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Putin wants to recreate it by force.

You’re ecstatic. Why didn’t Putler take all of Georgia in 2008? Or all of Ukraine in 2013? Go fight loser! Show your mettle. What are you afraid of? Our children can defend our borders.

[CarolinaReaganFan]

Nobody asked the little grifter what he thought about Crimea!
Thr Korean truce/ceasefire has lasted over 70 years.No need to agree about everything, but Z needs to acknowledge his new borders.
.
Getting Putin to agree to abandon his annexed but not captured territory is a major breakthrough.
This is the only reasonable solution to freeze the lines where they are to become the new borders....This proxy war on Russia needs to end.This is the best that Z could ever get.Crimea has been part of Russia since 1783 , not an issue. If Z won’t work with this it will be time to turn off the money and wash our hands of this globo homo grifter.

But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

[Dr. Franklin]

Why didn’t Putler take all of Georgia in 2008? Or all of Ukraine in 2013?

Because he couldn't.

Our children can defend our borders.

That's a job for adults not children. It appears that you are a Janina, not a Jan, with all of your irrational, emotional comments.

Americans, Russians and Even Ukrainians TORCH Zelensky for Grandstanding in the Face of a Catastrophe

GloboHomoPedoNazis and Zeepers Hardest Hit.

[Navy Patriot]

From a wider perspective, Degenerate Zelensky and Degenerate Zeepers are still occupying parts of the US Democrat Party, US Legislature, US Government Bureaucracy, and are destroying the US Constitutional Representative Republic.

[Jan_Sobieski]

LOL! You’re the hysterical one wanting us to go to war? You haven’t answered my question. When are you going over to fight for your convictions?

Another non sequitur.
Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself. They don't need me there. They have the right to defend themselves, and any nation that wants to help them can help them. Russia is slowly losing the war. Rewarding a war of aggression and crimes against humanity will encourage more wars of aggression and crimes against humanity. There will be no peace until Putin is gone from the world stage, and no short cut to that end game. All of your emotional, irrational arguments will not change that truth.
