Zelenskyy: If Ukraine loses, U.S. must choose between the collapse of NATO or going to war
MSM ^ | 6/15/23 | Miles J. Herszenhorn

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in a television interview on Thursday that the United States could face the "collapse of NATO" or a direct conflict with Russia if Ukraine does not win the war.

"Is he ready to go to war? To fight, to send his kids? Are they ready to die?" Zelenskyy asked. "Because anyway, they will have to do this if NATO gets involved."

Former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, would not commit to supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia, during a CNN town hall last month. Instead, Trump pledged to end the war within 24 hours.

I am far more cynical than you. The geography of America will always exist, as do the outlines of nations in Europe, but the internal mix of populations has become poison. The constitution has no meaning to our new arrivals, and as long as they will work for bread and lodging, aging whites will willingly stand at the back of the line to live one more day.

We’ve been Balkanized, it will start looking a lot like Yugoslavia in the 90s.

I agree, altho I think it will get worse given the lust for war our Washington Betters have. They are a sick, evil bunch and their dutiful imps on this forum, the ones who are giddy for war, are just as bad.

War is the perfect excuse to curtain freedoms, and put the machine in place to ultimately get rid of The Constitution once and for all.

No, there is a 3 red option. Keep NATO and let the Russians occupy all or part of Ukraine. That’s where it gets interesting. Russia will have to occupy with a severely depleted military.

Once Biden commits the US to war, these open and frank discussions here will be stopped. Some constitution.

What’s amazing is how many freepers are willing to be animated over false dilemmas.

Zelensky is an evil little twerp. I want my money back to clean up the streets of American cities. And to feed some really poor people put out of work by the scamdemic.

Ukraine isn’t going to lose. They may not be able to get Donbass or Crimea back. If I’m Ukraine, I’ll start building nuclear weapons right now.

Yah. Another corrupt Pres having to go into exile with billions of US $$ in his pocket is the only impact. A widened war? Nope.

Stick with trying to be an American. As for them, they might as well start building Kool-Aid stands. Their economy is in TATTERS.

With respect, I shall disagree and be far less cynical. There is something ineffable and infectious about liberty. Socialism in all its forms isn't the way forward. Liberty remains that way. Besides, as Frank Zappa said, "people like to own things." :)

Ukraine IS losing - winners don't say things like that. Putin is mobilizing his nuclear forces to block a NATO direct intervention. There is another option Zelensky fails to mention. which is a negotiated cease fire. This should have taken place a year ago. And no, NATO will not collapse, it will be reformed.

There will be some form of Marshall Plan to rebuild Ukraine. But they'll have to beat Russia first.
