Zelenskyy calls for EU to 'do more' for Ukraine after bloc refuses immediate membership
Euro News ^

Posted on 03/12/2022 6:34:30 AM PST by FarCenter

The European Union should "do more" for Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday, after European leaders poured cold water on the country quickly joining the bloc.

"We need to go harder. This is not what we expect," Ukraine's president said in a video on his Telegram channel.

"The decisions of politicians must coincide with the mood of their people, the people of Europe (...) The European Union must do more for us, for Ukraine."

Zelenskyy demanded last week that Brussels create a "new special procedure" to grant Ukraine "immediate membership".

His appeal on Thursday came a day after EU leaders ruled out such an immediate membership but acknowledged Ukraine's "European aspirations" at a summit in Versailles. They tasked the European Commission to draft an "opinion" on the request — a process that can take weeks.

Zelenskyy got stabbed in the back by the Clinton/Obama/Biden axis of evil.

He only has himself to blame for trusting those evil cretins.

There are always two themes to the news now:

1) Russia is losing the war in Ukraine and embarrassing itself with a poor performance.
2) Ukraine desperately needs help because things are going badly for them.

?????

There are always two themes to the news now!

Three, actually, “so we must do something “. As if we are likely to do anything but make things worse.

I feel empathy for the civilians. I don’t see any Good Guys in the conflict.

Make peace, dude. No one is going to war with Russia for you. Relying on the West is a fools game.

Maybe you could get the FR’s clacking keyboard warriors to come turn the tide for you.

Putin is a monster and a wolf who senses weakness in Europe and the US.

Once he finishes up Ukraine he will attack the Baltic States and other NATO nations bordering Russia. And his arm won’t be tied behind his back in Ukraine.

We should call his bluff and send Ukraine airplanes now.
Right now he is bogged down in a near grinder there.

China is watching and Taiwan isn’t their
ONLY target.

If we allow him to triumph there he WILL come at us next.

He did it to himself; he has had 8 years to prepare for this, and ended up distributing weapons to anyone willing to bear arms (trained or not).

Both the EU and NATO have been warned; this is not a future partner. Nobody owes Ukraine anything, so he has public tantrums trying to elicit a response.

Zelensky and his globalist handlers want American troops to die so they can continue their corruption and child sex trafficking.

... but if Russia loses it will lead to a 1992 style collapse and the Chinese will carpetbag it.

The sino empire will double in size and capability in 5 years. That would be bad news.

This.

Putin's terms are reasonable. Give up Crimea and the Donbas. They don't want to be part of Ukraine as it is and will always cause problems if forced to do so.

Zelenski still gets to keep his army, his job as a Western puppet, and Joe, Hunter, Pelosi, and Kerry will have west Ukraine to launder their money in.

The war has been a catastrophe for Russia. Losing it would be an even greater catastrophe. Putin isn't going to lose. Eventually he'll take the steps he needs to take to win.

Russia is doing a lot worse that expected. Basically stalled, fighting war of attrition. But Russia has huge reserves and better arms as well as chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
The war was predicted to be over in two weeks.
Ukraine is still fighting very well, heroically defending its country.
However if this goes for long, Russia could still prevail. So Ukraine need as much help as possible! Without help, Russia may still prevail, especially if the use all abovementioned weapons. So far the help for Ukraine is trickling in. Very slowly, because everybody, but the Ukrainians is scared like a hell of Russians.
The crazy dialog about the Polish Mig’s is just illustration of a point.
If Biden has not shitted in his pants, the war could never happened or it could be now over. Russian power was always based on intimidation and bluffing.

*The decisions of politicians must coincide with the mood of their people, “

Translation:

“You MUST believe (and act on!) the massive disinformation we and the CIA have been churning out! We’ve spent a fortune lobbying and generating fake polls and twitter armies. Fall for it!!!”

“I don’t see any Good Guys in the conflict.”

Agree 100%. There are none.

Beware people who insist you take sides in what is basically a nasty border war between two corrupt countries.

Why do we have to join a side? Because Vindman and Little Red Lying Hood say so?

It’s not our business. I don’t care about it. No direct threat to US interests or security. Let them duke it out.

Stay. Out.
