Zelensky condemns NATO for ruling out Ukraine no-fly zone - ("All the people who die starting today will also die because of you. Because of your weakness, because of your disconnection”)
Insider Paper ^ | 3/4/22

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed NATO on Friday for ruling out a no-fly zone over his country saying the Western military alliance knew further Russian aggression was likely.

Earlier Friday, NATO rejected Ukraine’s request to impose a no-fly zone to halt Russia’s bombing, but Western allies did warn President Vladimir Putin of fresh sanctions if he does not stop the war.

“Knowing that new strikes and casualties are inevitable, NATO deliberately decided not to close the sky over Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a video published by the presidency.

“We believe that the NATO countries themselves have created a narrative that the closing of the skies over Ukraine would provoke direct Russian aggression against NATO.”

Zelensky’s story is beginning to grow tiresome.

EU leaders are expected to discuss Ukraine’s prospects at a summit in Paris on March 10-11, the officials said

Typical Euro statecraft.

This war will be over by then.

Well I cannot respect anyone “siding” with Putin. Putin has been our enemy for many years and was actively trying to get American troops killed in Syria. You don’t have to “root” for Ukraine but supporting Putin is really too much.

I am not O3A3, but I would like to offer an observation...

We are often blinded by the past and our own experience. In the 12th Century, Moses Maimonides advised "Accept the truth from whatever source it comes." He also argued that "Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it."

Times change, situations change, alliances change, and sometimes even people change. Thinking for oneself often requires us to question our old biases to see if they are still valid. Sometimes they are; sometimes they're not.

Zelensky is a globalist stooge. He’s nobody to support.

After reading a fair bit of history of the area 1920-1945, it seems like most of the time there are no good choices, just survival.

Looks like Zelensky just figured out that Ukraine doesn’t have any friends.

I’m afraid your approach isn’t nuanced enough for our betters.

Well, huh...go figure. I still think they will try and take Ukraine under their wing as planned. I bet Zelensky turns up in Paris.

It is great to have countries like Poland increase their ability to defend themselves with quality American weapons.

It is also great to get paid by countries like Poland for sending them quality American weapons.

"We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” - Palmerston, 1848.
