Volodymyr Zelensky recently released a statement revealing that his regime and the government of Washington D.C. were in continued contact, “working on a bilateral security agreement” that would see “monetary aid” sent to Ukraine for an agreed-upon time of ten years.

Despite an individual’s personal feelings on the Russia-Ukraine war, the facts of the matter are that Ukraine is not a NATO country—and at this point, the cost-benefit analysis of being a member of the NATO pact is definitely not worth it for the American people—and Zelensky is not a good guy. This isn’t to say that Vladimir Putin is…but between the two? One nation is notoriously corrupt and a known hub of human trafficking, while its leaders push cultural LGBTQ++ perversion, steal our wealth (taking hundreds of millions off the top for themselves), send their own people into the meat grinder of warfare, and ally themselves with leftist Hollywood, Joe Biden, and all the scum of D.C.; the other nation sentences pedophiles to the death penalty, tells homosexuals and alternative-sexuality people to engage in whatever behaviors they like as long as it’s in private and nowhere near children, and naturally, doesn’t want hostile governments anywhere along its borders.

President Dwight Eisenhower’s Farewell Address made infamous the “military-industrial complex” machine, but why he neglected to call it the congressional-military-industrial complex like he originally intended is beyond me — particularly when you consider the “forever war” reality is the exact situation against which Eisenhower strived to warn.
Peace, or a cessation of fighting, is the best option, but peace means the gravy train comes to an end—no wonder it’s off the table, and the powers that be are concocting ten-year plans for sending our money to a country with no accountability.

What in hell are you babbling about? Russia has more natural resources than any country in the world and has access to the manufacturing base in both China and India, who are gladly assisting the Russians in exchange for cheap Russian oil.
Everything you and your fellow Zeepers have said about this war for two years has been a lie. And, you keep lying, even to yourselves.
Those in Congress know very well that supporting US troops on the ground would their careers. I doubt there would be even 10 votes for that in the House.
Trump has already said he'll end the war within 24 hours if he's elected.
No politician is going to send troops into a war that has no direct national interest when 90% of the public opposes doing so. Not even Biden.
And, without US involvement, Ukraine has no chance of doing anything but losing more territory and lives.
Ukrainians in what's left of the country WANT peace. They won't embrace Russia but certainly will agree to remain neutral toward Russia if that is what it takes to end the death of their loved ones and save what is left of their country.
Ukraine will surrender or cease to exist. Those are the only options.
The NATO Secretary General was in Kyiv today (29 April), addressing their Legislature.
“Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. Ukraine will become a member of NATO. The work we are undertaking now puts you on an irreversible path towards NATO membership, so that when the time is right, Ukraine can become a NATO member straightaway,” Stoltenberg said.
Putin did that.
He is a Master Strategist.
“The annexed part of Ukraine will remain with Russia as long as anyone reading this is alive.”
Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Cities were Annexed to Russia by the Russian Duma, with Putin’s signature - but they are not in Russia today (while we are still alive).
“THERE ISN’T A DAMN THING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT.”
Did you notice the series of explosions of Russian Military assets in Crimea over the last few hours?
Funding Ukraine for a decade?I don’t think so.
This ten year support agreement with the USA is only one of many bilateral support agreements that Ukraine is signing, as a result of Putin’s illegal invasion, and its criminal brutality, that has shocked the conscience of the world.
The Kyiv Independent reported (20 April):
“The agreements are based on a pledge made by the Group of Seven (G7) last July (2023), which aims to bolster Ukraine’s ability to resist Russian aggression. So far, nine have been signed with Latvia, Finland, the U.K., Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Zelensky said Ukraine is moving towards “an important agreement with the U.S.,” adding that the agreement could happen after Congress passes a $61 aid bill for Ukraine that awaits an upcoming vote on April 20.
“I want people to understand that these (bilateral agreements) is not only about military assistance,” Zelensky said.
“This is also about humanitarian aid, reconstruction, the financial and energy sectors’ support.”
Zelensky stressed that Ukraine will sign more bilateral security agreements “soon.” According to the president, Kyiv could sign an agreement with “one of the Baltic states” in April.
“We might have powerful agreements in May. I think in May and June, we will approach the agreements not only with the U.S. but also with Nordic countries,” Zelensky said, referring to Sweden and Norway.
The Presidential Office announced on April 18 that Ukraine and Czechia had begun negotiations on a draft bilateral security agreement.
Earlier, Kyiv said that the Portuguese and Ukrainian governments had “assigned teams” to begin the preparation of such an agreement as well.”
“Funding Ukraine for a decade?I don’t think so.”

At the G-7 Summit last year in Vilnius, the US and many other countries agreed to establish these bilateral support agreements. Nine have already been signed (Latvia, Finland, the U.K., Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands).
Ten years (or until full EU and NATO integration) is the norm.
