I admit it: I was fooled by Zelensky and Ukraine
WND ^ | 12/08/2022 | Joseph Farrah

I was fooled about Volodymyr Zelensky.

Yes, even I. When I'm wrong, I like to admit it. And I was horribly wrong.

How wrong was I and about the entire war in Ukraine?

Last March, I called Zelensky a courageous "Hebrew warrior." How's that? Worse yet, I jumped to conclusions about his war.

I apologize.

I even compared him to biblical heroes from the book of Judges. Sheesh! Was I ever wrong about him.

I was too quick to believe the media – something I rarely do. My whole career trained me against it.

But today, seeing is believing.

So what has he done wrong? It's legion. Zelensky has banned opposition parties. He's shut down critical media by force. He's arrested his political opponents. He has sent soldiers into churches. Zelensky's secret police have raided monasteries across Ukraine, even a convent full of nuns, and arrested dozens of priests for no justifiable reason whatsoever and in clear violation of the Ukrainian constitution, which apparently no longer matters. And in the face of this, the Biden administration has said nothing.

Last week, he announced his plan to ban an entire religion, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – more than a thousand years old – and to seize its property, all for being insufficiently loyal to his regime. A free country does not ban a major religion.

Nor is it permissible in time of war to place soldiers in churches. It's wrong to arrest dozens of priests. It's a war crime. And he's doing it to a Ukrainian church!

Joe Biden remains silent about all this – of course…

These are actions by a man and party who know Ukraine is already permanently divided. Like in that song from the English civil war, "All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again."

This article is indicative of a major problem in conservative America today. Most of us are Ignorant of history and geopolitics, but credulous and predisposed to flag waving jingoism.

Our country has been overtaken by 10000 commies a mile away, but we are pursued by the mockingbird media to be more worried about 1 (so called) commie in Russia 10000 miles away. All the while the same folks that overthrew Ukraine in 2014 and pushed Zelensky for war against disenfranchised voters in the east and south, have overthrown OUR elections!? Be advised, those coming out against these commies will be treated like East and South Ukraine.

We kept the peace with Nuclear Russia for 70 years by staying out of their backyard…and they stayed out of ours. Yes, they are paranoid. I don’t blame them. America acted in the Gulf Wars out of self interest. Russia is acting in self interest by helping East and South Ukraine.

That’s funny - so, incessant Kvartal-95 mockery of gays (for which Zelensky in the minds of the Left will have to atone) is somehow homo...
Btw, Ukraine still has one of most restrictive laws re gays.

I agree with you.
Ignorance of history is a fault that leads one to false conclusions.

Neither did Lincoln. He kept America from being splintered into small nations that the Brits would pick off one by one and ended slavery.
But keep up with the revisionist fiction.
