PEACE BID ‘I’ll quit in exchange for joining Nato’, Zelensky says – as Ukrainian leader ‘back in touch’ with US after Trump clash
The Sun UK ^ | 03 Mar 2025 | Ryan Sabey, Deputy Political Editor

Posted on 03/02/2025 10:44:44 PM PST by blueplum

VOLODYMYR Zelensky has insisted he will happily step down from office in exchange for Ukraine joining Nato....

Zelensky spoke to reporters at London Stansted airport after a day meeting European leaders and holding talks with Sir Keir Starmer over finding a long-term peace deal.

He said that his country's freedom is "not for sale" and vowed not to quit despite pressure from the US after his White House bust-up. [He] did once again offer to step down as Ukraine's president if it meant his country would be invited into the Nato alliance.... "To change me it will not be easy. You would need to prevent me from participating in elections and it will be a bit more difficult. You will need to negotiate with me."...

wormy little fellow - The bit about 'prevent me from participating in elections' once Ukraine is granted admission to Nato tells the story of his character. As does is bragging about meeting the King, who has zero poltical power.

This guy erroneously believes he’s in the drivers seat, doesn’t he?

Cocaine psychosis? If he’s trying an art of the deal type thing, he’s doing it wrong. You can’t just keep hammering on something that isn’t going to happen...NATO membership for Ukraine.

Yes, he is a little vermin POS. Coked out of his mind. Why are dictators always drug-addled?

Exactly.
For centuries the Russians wanted buffer states on their borders, never more so than after WW2 yet the EU/US keeps pushing the eastward expansion of NATO.

Maybe NATO needs to be formally abolished and a modern day replacement found.

Cocaine psychosis?

There is a rumor, unconfirmed, that he is a frequent cocaine user.

But, even if he is, during the meeting it seemed he was sober. I, myself, was once a long-term user... so I am well aware of the signs of said use. He was sober during the meeting. The mental effects of cocaine psychosis are usually cured with a few days sleep. The effects are less related to the actual cocaine and more related to a lack of sleep.

So it wasn't coke. I think it was far more likely he was goaded into his behavior by domestic enemies such as Rice and Nuland, and got another boost in confidence by being well-received by Europe.

Europe, of course, has a long way to go to be able to match America's military, but they are capable in the long run, and appear to have the desire to elevate their abilities.

Still, that is then, and this is now. He'd be well-advised to consider that, at the moment, we are the only country truly capable of matching (actually, easily bettering) Russia. China, of course, can better Russia, but they seem to be hands-off at this time.

Cocaine Decisions - Frank Zappa

Chop a line now
Cocaine decisions
You are a person with a snow-jon
You got a fancy “gotta go” job
Where the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will mean that millions somewhere else
Will do it your way

Cocaine decisions
You are a person who is high class
You are a person not in my class
And the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will mean nothing later on
When you get nose decay

I don’t wanna know ‘bout the things that you pull
Outta your nose or where they goes
But if you are wasted from the stuff you’re stickin’ in it
I get madder every day
‘Cause what you do and what you say affects my life in such a way
I learn to hate it every minute

I don’t wanna know ‘bout the things that you pull
Outta your nose or where they goes
But if you are wasted from the stuff you’re stickin’ in it

I get madder every day
‘Cause what you do and what you say affects my life in such a way
I learn to hate it every minute

Cocaine decisions
You are a doctor or a lawyer
You got an office with a foyer
And the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will not be discovered ‘til it’s over and done
By the customers you hold at bay

Cocaine decisions
You are a movie business guy
You got accountants who supply
The necessary figures to determine when you fly
To Acapulco where all your friends go

Cocaine decisions
We must watch the stuff you make
You have let us eat the cake
While your accountants tell you, “Yes, yes, yes”
You make expensive ugliness, how do you do it? Let me guess
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions

The entire war started because of the eastward march of NATO and this clown thinks Putin will agree now to let Ukraine join NATO.
