Why does the Biden-Harris administration deify Zelensky and Ukraine but demonize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel?
About half of America sympathizes with Ukraine’s plight and wishes to arm it.
After all, Kyiv was attacked preemptively by Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022, in an effort to decapitate its government and turn the country into a Russian satellite, perhaps similar to the status of a Belarus or Chechnya.
The heroic ability of the Ukrainians to save Kyiv and to stop the Russian assault beyond the occupied Donbas and Crimea has hinged on Western weapons deliveries, specifically from European NATO countries and, to a far greater extent, the United States.
But now, after a reported 1 million combined dead, wounded, or missing Ukrainians and Russians (the actual figure is probably far higher), the war remains deadlocked with no end in sight.
Putin serially threatens to break the static front with tactical nuclear weapons. The Europeans are tiring. And no one in the United States has come up with a strategy to push back the Russians from either their February 2022 demarcation points or their post-2014 occupation of Ukrainian borderlands.
The result is a lot of disconnects, paradoxes, and mysteries about the war, the Biden administration’s role in it, and the general geostrategic landscape surrounding the conflict.
Ukrainian Election Interference?
Americans are demonized by the Uniparty elites for having doubts about their blank-check support for Ukraine. And while the American people are mostly anti-Putin, they are not always pro-Ukraine.
But why is that so?
For one, we know that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.
Even leftwing Politico reported that Ukrainians in the U.S. gathered opposition research on Trump campaign officials and passed it to the Clinton campaign and thus likely her appendages in government.

Ukraine seems to be a money laundering operation for leftist politicians who are drawn to corruption like flies.

Excellent article by Dr. Hanson. Bookmarked.
The hundreds of billions of Dollars sent over there are especially galling when just a fraction of that spent on Hurricane victims and a border wall and enforcement would have reaped dividends.
It is worth noting that Putin and Russia support Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
“And while the American people are mostly anti-Putin, they are not always pro-Ukraine. But why is that so? For one, we know that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.”
Something that doesn’t seem to bother the Zeepers here one bit. I wonder why?
And 0mama, Biden and Harris also seem to support Iran (and through them Hezbollah, and Hamas).

ZEEPERS have long since decided that prioritizing Ukrainian interests over the interests of American citizens is RIGHTEOUS. / sadly, this is not sarcasm
Thanks for posting. GREAT Information from VDH.
Excellent piece, but VDH could look a bit further into why Russia went into Ukraine (i.e., the 10 million or so Russians living in Ukraine who were in the process of being ethnically-cleansed by government looking to ‘purify’ Ukraine).
But, overall, still good, and it’s particularly good to be reminded that those supporting the Ukrainian government are also supporting what Ukraine did to Trump, and by extension to the United States, over the past 8 years.
Very disappointing analysis by VDH.
I agree. He didn’t go far enough emphasizing how corrupt and authoritarian the dictator Zelensky is, and how closely he is aligned with all things Democrat/anti-Trump.
Maybe because Victor Davis Hanson understands that that is an outrageous canard.

And I believe he bought into the US/UK narrative of who started the scenario that led to a preemptive ( preemptive is right) invasion and that the Russians seriously planned to take Kiev.
That “3 days to take Kiev” came from, I believe, an assessment by our own ponderously bloviating CJCS who as a supposed Army genius was well aware the Russian deployment was sized as a feint, not a force intended to capture a million-resident city.
This guy is so full of $hit when it comes to the unprovoked proxy war started in 2014 by the CIA.
“deadlocked, no end in sight”, what a ridiculous statement.
After buying four of this fool’s books I find out this idiot is a MIC goon.
In the present war, Ukraine has likely become the target of some 8,000-10,000 missiles launched from Russia. Yet that number is still smaller than the some 20,000 projectiles sent into Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran.
“Maybe because Victor Davis Hanson understands that that is an outrageous canard.”
The thing is, you know that it’s TOTALLY TRUE!

I always remember what the Bible has to say about Israel.
Proxies?
So we are iran now?’)
