Zelensky Complains (Again) that Foreign Aid Delays Are Making Life ‘Very Difficult’
Breitbart ^ | 02/20/2024 | SIMON KENT

Posted on 02/20/2024 6:17:22 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A lack of foreign aid deliveries from Western allies makes life “very difficult” for Ukraine’s fighters, a despairing President Volodymyr Zelensky said late Monday.

Zelensky and other officials have repeatedly expressed frustration at the slowness of promised aid deliveries even as European countries struggle to find enough stocks to satisfy Kyiv’s demands.

In Washington aid worth $60 billion is currently waiting to be approved by Congress, much to the anger of Ukraine’s leadership that wants the U.S. taxpayer funds released as a matter of urgency.

Our chance to win this was March 2022. Biden and the EU doddled. Now Ukraine has turned into a laundromat, and both Biden and Russia want it to continue indefinitely for their own reasons.

The Democrats are now saying that Ukraine is losing the war, because of Republicans.

Can’t make this stuff up.

This article is bogus.

No matter how much money Washington votes to send to Ukraine, it will have very little impact on the military situation on the ground in Ukraine because it takes a longer time to purchase, manufacture and transport munitions to the battlefield.

The US and NATO have given all they have to give from existing stocks and production is lagging.

It will take years to rebuild the stockpiles and it’s not like we can easily afford to purchase them.

Yeah, life sucks when you try to do somehting that you have absolutely no ability to do financially.

It’s kind of like a person who wants to begin a major gold mining business, but lacks all the funds to run it so they demand the $$ from others, get the money, possibly misuse the $$, and demand more more more because and complains ‘that Foreign Aid Delays Are Making Life ‘Very Difficult’,

Pouring money into such an operation is futile when the receiver hasn’t the ability to win- all we are doing is delaying the inevitable, and losing hundreds of billions doing so

Our own social security is supposedly running out, our border is wide open, people here in America living in extreme poverty in some cases (extreme poverty by American standards that is)- the gov complaining that they have no money to build wall, support people, that ss is running out etc etc etc, yet alakazam, they find all kinds of money to support other people’s wars, and to give to terrorist nations.

Ukraine was never winning, was never going to win, and never will win.

Not against one of the biggest armies in the world...Russia.

If the UN estimate is $486 billion to rebuild Ukraine, you can be sure the reconstruction costs will be much, much higher! Every single day, that costs goes up and up.

If Ukraine were to win this war, which they can’t, the U.S. will be stuck with most of the astronomical reconstruction costs.

Let Russia win and be stuck with all of any massive rebuilding costs, which they obviously cannot afford.

-— “Let Russia win” is, at this stage of the game, a most intriguing phrase. What does it actually mean?

Translation: If Ukraine doesn’t get more money from US taxpayers soon, Zelensky might not be able to afford the cocaine addiction he’s developed and may not be able to full fund the staff maintaining his mansions around the world.

I just had a thought...

Would Joe Biden resist a foreign invasion like Zelensky. Putting the politics aside. When faced with an invasion who would ‘we’ want as a leader?

Personally, I would rather have a crook like Zelensky over Chomo Joe, who has already invited and supported an invasion of tens of millions hostiles... Russians have spent lots of blood and treasure taking the land. What has Mexico had to spend for their reconquista?

I wonder what exactly Boris Johnson said to Zelensky that talked him out of signing the Minsk Agreements.
