So she DOES live in Ukraine? I’m confused. She says she’s American. She says she’s Ukrainian. Sounds like a scam or something. Guess I’ll avoid her.

(Did she not get that Zelensky and Putin are equally corrupt?)

---- "So she DOES live in Ukraine? I'm confused. She says she's American. She says she's Ukrainian. Sounds like a scam or something. Guess I'll avoid her. (Did she not get that Zelensky and Putin are equally corrupt?)"

One tiptoes close to being accused of doxxing. She is an elderly American, whose singular passion on Free Republic seems to be to lobby for the Zelensky government.

"Did she not get that Zelensky and Putin are equally corrupt?" She and some of her apologists play as argument the fact that Ukraine's government under several administrations is marginally less corrupt than Russia's several last administrations. Marginally.

Europe and the US have lavished enormous materiel and cash on the current Ukrainian administration, as to support a proxy war against Russia. It is not turning out to be as simple as the Blinken-Nuland scheme expected it to be. Such that most recently it has been reported that:

Austin Warns Congress Failing to Pass Ukraine Aid ‘Very Likely’ Leads to US Troops on the Ground In Europe Messenger, 5 December 2023

Lloyd Austin Threatens to Deploy Troops if Ukraine Aid is Shut Down American Greatness, 6 December 2023

Thus, the above shows how "all in" the Biden administration is that notions of doing as DoD's Austin hints at is now "on the table." The choices seem clear. Time for some kind of settlement, as say some in DC as in the Washington Post.

What is foreseeable is that any end to the war will put the monetized YouTube cottage industry and its associated "merch" businesses out of business. Those resident here in the states will be, as Limbaugh used to say, "hardest hit."

What is demonstrable is that she posts much from the Zelensky government, including that from Censor, as well as "ministry" statements, and as such daily promotes that public relations, AKA propaganda.

Please note: propaganda is a neutral term, as all sides use the media and press to "message." The messaging on these threads is propaganda for the Zelensky government.
