Ukraine's Zelensky throws shade at Trump for easing oil sanctions on Russia

Volodymyr Zelensky today appeared to tacitly attack Donald Trump for easing sanctions on Russian oil to cut prices hammered by his attack on Iran.

The Ukrainian president used a speech in Parliament to thank the UK for keeping up pressure on 'wealthy madman' Vladimir Putin despite fresh fighting in the Middle East.

Last week Trump signed a one-month sanction waiver allowing countries to buy Russian oil currently floating around in tankers unable to dock anywhere.

It was designed to ease prices that spiked when Iran put a block on shipping transiting the Straits of Hormuz off its south coast.

In a London speech that focused on the growth of drone warfare, Mr Zelensky said that the tech had made war cheaper and taken it out of the hands of wealthy national leaders like Putin.

Speaking in front of an audience that included Sir Keir The Ukrainian leader added: 'And even he is still being given money as sanctions on his oil are lifted.

'I thank you that the UK is not doing this, thank you so much.'

STFU, beggar. The arrogance of these eastern Europeans is hilarious.

“In a London speech that focused on the growth of drone warfare, Mr Zelensky said that the tech had made war cheaper and taken it out of the hands of wealthy national leaders like Putin.”

Dude’s retarded.

Drones are, at best, an insignificant factor in the assault on Iran. AND their response.

They are most overrated.

When you control the skies, drones are nearly worthless.

Zelensky should just continue doing what he’s been doing to Russian oil and tankers and refineries and loading ports.

Bomb the heck out of them.

Forget what Trump is doing. Do unto Russia what Russia does unto Ukraine.

Knock ‘em dead, Z.

Ukrainian drones and missiles, not rule the Russian skies. And Russia can’t do anything about it.

My point is drones are irrelevant if you control the skies.

Which neither Russia or Ukraine does.

While neither of them can penetrate the other’s airspace with manned aircraft, an F-35 could fly the full length of their 700 miles front and not get hit.

It’s not a good bet for the US, though there are MANY who would like to steer in that direction. And for most countries it’s their best option.

As for me, I’ll take US Stealth over all other tech.

You know exactly what I mean. Why are we supporting this Z weasel. Handing him billions upon billions and giving him our best tech. Tech that we could put to better use defend our own country. Ukraine isn’t the 51st state. That’s Venezuela.
Or Cuba I forget.

“Throws shade”.
Somebody decided this would be a nifty adverb to use when saying Person A. has expressed criticism of Person B.
Maybe that “throws shade” was learned from watching reality shows: “Wives of LA Rappers”.
