What? The "aid" (bribes...) must have stopped?

There is no violin small enough to express properly the emotions for this heinous grifter.

Bill Murray said it all in 1984 in Ghostbusters and it applies to every Zelinsky action:

“He slimed me”.

I’m just guessing but I think a lot of those dead Ukrainian young men, many of whose parents, family members and friends are and were Russian (20% of Ukraine) would rather be Russian than dead.

Sounds like the EU is better at making promises than they are at following through

The EU is all talk, no action. President Trump is all talk and action to back it up. The end.

“When I went back into Russia a year later in 2025, there was a very noticeable increase in BYD cars. It was crazy, they were everywhere.”

I gather (possibly incorrectly that) the EU may be subsidizing Russian EV purchases.

Zelenskyy said Europe "remains a beautiful but fragmented kaleidoscope of small and middle powers...Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, especially when America's focus shifts elsewhere, Europe looks lost, trying to convince the US president to change," he said. "But he will not change. President Trump loves who he is, and he says he loves Europe, but he will not listen to this kind of Europe."

Translation: according to Zelensky, Ukraine is entitled to an open spigot of financial and military aid for Europe and the US indefinitely, whether the western nations like it or not. He also believes that Europe and the US need to do the future fighting for Ukraine, by stationing a permanent "peacekeeper" presence there.

What Zelensky fails to explain is what makes him and his country so special as to be entitled to this royal treatment from the rest of the world, and why Ukraine's plight is so much more important and deserving than that of many other war-torn countries.
