Marjorie Taylor Greene Uses Zelensky's Own Speech to Reject Ukraine Aid
Newsweek ^ | January 20, 2024 | Thomas Kika

Posted on 01/20/2024 1:50:58 PM PST by Navy Patriot

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, on Friday invoked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's own speech he recently made to argue against the United States providing more aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

As the Russia-Ukraine war nears its two-year anniversary next month, Zelensky on Tuesday made an address before the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he called for renewed peace talks and the imposition of more and harsher economic sanctions against Moscow.

"We need you in Ukraine to build, to reconstruct, to restore our lives," the Ukrainian president said. "Each of you can be even more successful with Ukraine."

According to a Tuesday report from The New York Times, Zelensky made no mention in the speech of Ukraine needing "more weapons" in the form of continued military aid. President Joe Biden has in recent weeks urged Congress to pass his $60 billion proposed aid request for Ukraine, amid reported concerns that former President Donald Trump could drastically slash aid provisions to the war-torn nation if reelected in November.

“I like MTG too.”

Ditto. NOT ANOTHER PENNY FOR UKRAINE. And certainly not more billions.

I live in MTG’s district. I keep telling people that we either keep sending her, or my wife runs for that seat. That scares the crap out of me.

Newsweek (Same as MSNBC, Politico, Salon, etc...) readers that make comments are comprised of male penis lickers, soy boy cucks, old lesbians, and if not lesbians, vapid feminists.

The intellect from these people are thinner than graphene since unholy emotions are all they can conjure up.

There will be no rebuilding restoring or construction while the current regime keeps the war going. Refuses to negotiate with Russia. Refuses to accept that territory inhabited by majority ethnic Russian speakers including Crimea will become part of Russia. And that Ukraine will not become part of NATO which is now irreconcilably viewed as offensive pact not defensive pact by Russia.

"We need you in Ukraine to build, to reconstruct, to restore our lives,"
the Ukrainian president said.

What's the pay scale?

The comments of mainstream publications are really something. I got banned from the WaPo comments for an article which asked why lesbians tend to be overweight. I merely suggested that it’s because they eat too much. I wasn’t wrong in any way. Banned. Those comment sections are 95% women and 100% horrible.

(quoted from the article)

“While GOP critics like Greene have claimed that U.S. aid to Ukraine has only worked to prolong the conflict unnecessarily, supporters have hit back, arguing that a lack of new aid from Western allies would see Ukraine lose the conflict to Russia, and accusing the critics of working towards Russian President Vladimir Putin's own goals.”

(military objectives)

Ukraine is not taking the lost land back. The last opportunity for that faded away with the failure of the last Ukrainian counter offensive.

Like 2014 and the Crimea, this 18% of their Eastern land and population is gone, history, it's part of Russia now. Russia went in with a limited objective and never intended to seize all of Ukraine as this would be a nightmare for them. That is us creating some new goal post and pretending we succeeded even though we lost.

Ukraine lost its most significant industrial area and a major port city which is also the core of their steel industry.

***Ukraine has failed in accomplishing their military objective of preventing Russia from seizing the Eastern and largely ethnic Russia areas.

(political objectives and cause of war)

Ukraine is not nor will they be a member of NATO on the foreseeable future.

***Ukraine has failed in accomplishing its political objective and cause of this war, NATO membership.


What are they talking about when they think Ukraine hasn't already lost?

The Forward Edge of Battle Area (FEBA) is hardly moving.

It's not Russia that is seeing their infrastructure blown to pieces, or their economy implode. That would be Ukraine.

It's not Russia which is facing a demographic disaster nor massive internal instability. That would be Ukraine.

This is a brain dead patient on life support (regards the war). Keeping him on life support will not change the outcome.

Ukraine is cooked.

If you actually care about Ukraine, end this retarded war and spend the resources we are pissing into the wind on reconstruction of a nation that we are largely responsible for when we pushed them into a war: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/

I'm not saying to cut Ukraine off, rather spend it on bringing them back to their feet. Continue arming them, providing intel and advisors to make any additional Russian military action costly, but end this waste of life and economic Harakiri and make the focus on reconstruction.

So it's either support additional $billions to Zelensky, or you're with Putin?
