Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly told lawmakers in the United States that his government is considering raising the military conscription age to over 40 years old in an apparent attempt to allay concerns about Kyiv’s ability to stand up to the much larger population Moscow can draw on to fight the war.
Upon his latest lobbying trip to Washington D.C. to beseech Congress to back President Biden’s request for an additional $61 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Zelensky reportedly told sceptical Senators that his government is considering conscripting men above the age of 40 to increase troop levels along the frontline with Russia, according to Bloomberg.

I heard he also has a couple of yachts. He probably bought them with the US dollars. He should sell those.

I’m ashamed my country has been a cause, and is an actor, in this tragedy.

So the corrupted little beggar Z goes begging the US for $61 Billion, senile Joe says here is $200 million……hilarious, but only if you view the video of senile Joe and St Zelensky sitting in front of a fireplace, at least the corrupted little beggar said Thank you….
Time to leave Z, we have you figured out.

I might ask.. And so what does that have to do with meat balls.
Stop giving money out.
And one more comment.. The so called president of the United States is not fit to be in the oval office.
They have lost touch with reality.

The latest speech from senile Joe ( by CNN) , seems the memo is out. Senile Joe said “we will support Ukraine as long as we can”…dropping the “ as long as it takes “ , yes, words have meaning…..even from a senile, corrupted old man.
Say good bye to St Z., Amen.

Was there any doubt to how this would end? Unless the U.S. and NATO put troops in the Ukraine and initiated WW3 with Russia, there was no doubt as to who would win the Ukraine war of attrition. Western nations with powerful military apparatus who decided to war with Russia do not have a good record. E.g., Napoleon, Hitler. Even if NATO (U.S.) went to war with Russia, it's not certain that we'd win; if it went nuclear, the world would lose. Consider a similar hypothetical conflict. If the U.S. decided to possess parts or all of Mexico, would there be any doubt as to who the victor would be?
When you start conscripting old men and boys, it's past time to concede. It's time to negotiate terms of peace.

I second that motion. Why isn’t Zelensky fighting instead of visiting DC?
