“What a crazy statement for him to make. He has enemies on two borders, but that’s nothing compared to Israel.”
I can see him wanting Ukraine to be strong, and Israel is a good example of strength. But, you’re right about enemies. Only the US really stands with Israel, and at that the Dems are at best wishy-washy about the relationship. And, he can forget about any support in the UN if Ukraine becomes like Israel.
But, Israel does have a great national anthem, Hatikvah.
The Comedian Zelensky is a buffoon or an idiot but he has a Great Power Nation on his side. That Great Power Nation is the United States of America, unfortunately.
The Ukraine is a ally of the United States.
Condoleezza Rice signed a US & Ukraine Charter on a Strategic Partnership in 2008.
An updated strategic partnership was signed on November 10th 2021 by the Biden/Harris administration. It provided an unclear pathway to Ukraine membership in NATO.
On February 24th the Russian Establishment invaded Ukraine.
Bingo! He's got it wrong so many times though, I think his chief handler must be Nuland.
“I think his chief handler must be Nuland”

She’s been serving as the advance-prep
man for him on his speaking tour, so it
wouldn’t surprise me.
But I’ve been assured by many freepers that Ukraine is filled with tiki torch carrying Nazis.
And Putin is an ally of the CCP and Xi.
“And Putin is an ally of the CCP and Xi.”
Eventually the war between the United States Vs China, Russia, and Persia will happen.
I’m not a fan of the liberal/ conservative warfare machine that operates out of Washington DC.
And who’s going to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine - AGAIN?...the scale of recovery will be enormous....Ukraine’s PM Denys Shmygal said on March 15 that his preliminary figure of Approx $600 Billion would be at the expense of
‘Ukraine’s partners’.....two guesses who that will be.
You’re a cuck. Now we all know. Have a nice day.
Your wife doesn’t think so.
No one wants to see your gay porn collection.
Yeah……..I see one.
One standing and I.D. Concealed.
“We will not be surprised that we will have representatives of the Armed Forces or the National Guard in all institutions, supermarkets, cinemas; there will be people with weapons. I am sure that our security issue will be number one in the next ten years,” he explained.
... “All this is being discussed at the level of advisers, and leaders with France, the United States, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Israel, and there are many friends who want to join,” Zelensky said. “So far, we have not received a specific list of guarantees and a list of countries that are ready to join us 100%.”
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Israel has survived because they are one people working together for the good of the nation. They are pretty self-sufficient and a world leader in many fields - military equipment, medicine, technology. They are very patriotic and stand together in defense of their country. Zelensky admires that. So do I.
Trump preaches the same ideas for MAGA.
If Ukraine becomes part of EU what he wishes will not be possible.
Nonsense.
The US "stands with Israel" in EXACTLY the same way the US stands with Ukraine and Taiwan, that is to say, with paper money and big words.
There is ZERO chance the US is going to shed blood for any of those small nations with big, powerful neighbors.
“Nonsense. The US ‘stands with Israel’ in EXACTLY the same way the US stands with Ukraine and Taiwan, that is to say, with paper money and big words.”
And a hell of a lot of top-shelf military hardware. Name me one country — one country! — that has stood with Israel more than the US!
Ever hear of the Yom Kippur War in 1973? The USSR threatened to become involved in that because its proxy Syria wasn’t doing so well; Nixon said, “Okay; then we will become engaged on behalf of Israel.” (Not his exact words, of course, but they could have been.)
We went to DEFCON 3. I was in the US Air Force then, having recently rotated back to the US from Asia. I remember that alert.
The USAF flew constant resupply missions to Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
Nixon scared Brezhnev with that, and Brezhnev decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and reconsidered, and backed down.
Since that time, there has developed the idea of “American-Israeli Parallelism,” which basically means the US and Israel share integrated systems, and that allows the US to fight wars “vicariously” through Israel (i.e., Israel, using US systems, military assets, etc. in actual combat) to judge effectiveness, and determine any changes necessary.
Patriot Missile batteries? We supplied Israel with that system after the Gulf War; we also supplied some other Mideast allies with them. But, lately we began to withdraw those batteries from the Mideast; but we did not withdraw them from Israel.
The US has stood with Israel more than any other country; moreso during GOP administrations. The lowest point in US-Israeli relations came during the administration of the openly anti-Semitic Barack Obama (even then, though, the US was still closer to Israel than was any other nation). Then, with the Trump administration, we were back to our historical (Obama aside) close relationship with Israel. It’s anyone’s guess what the imbecilic Biden will do.
