Zelensky ‘Not Satisfied’ With the Level of Western Weapon Donations
Breitbart ^ | 12/02/2023 | Oliver JJ. Lane

Posted on 12/02/2023 7:41:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

While acknowledging that he shouldn’t “complain too much”, Volodymyr Zelensky has again expressed his displeasure with the volume of Western weapons flowing into his country.

There are not enough weapons in Ukraine and this has been a contributing factor to the failure of the so-called Spring Offensive, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. Noting the lack of supplies and the war in Israel that has contributed to some of those supplies he hoped for not arriving, Zelensky, nevertheless told the Associated Press in an interview that he had a plan to overcome his nation’s supply problems.

For me it’s the lack of evidence that they are. That and the fact that Ukraine is in a fight for its very existence and they know the whole world is watching. There probably is some corruption and skimming going on, but even so it’s still worth giving them the tools to kill the invading orcs until they give up and leave or Putin swings at the end of a rope.

Thanks for post. Keep in mind, though that the guy was caught back in 2015, long before the invasion of 2022.

"How do you know what Zelensky has? Are you his accountant?"

Given the sheer level of his obsessive shilling for the little gay-dancing grifter, he might not know what his hero Zelenskyyyyyy™ has in his bank accounts but I suspect he knows full well what's in his pants.

Badabing!

---- "Good questions. Can't answer them, but maybe there's good reason for not putting all your money in Ukrainian banks at the moment."

As with so much surrounding the Ukraine-Russia war -- and precious little actual war correspondent reporting, because that is being controlled on both sides apparently -- one finds the Forbes article you cite, implicating some US administration sources.

But in contradistinction....

"At the end of the third quarter of 2023, Privatbank again topped the list of the most profitable, earning UAH 13.62 billion, in second place on this indicator was "Oschadbank" (UAH 7.34 billion) and nationalized in July "Sense Bank (UAH 3.44 billion). This is evidenced by the data of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), reports Interfax-Ukraine. ( Джерело: https://biz.censor.net/n3456626 )."

The article ends:

"It was reported that in the first nine months of 2023, Ukrainian banks received a profit of UAH 109.85 billion, that is 1.4 times more than in the whole peaceful year 2021."

Immediately, three state-owned banks topped the list of the most profitable Censor.net, 20 November 2023

The "censor.net" is spinning in one direction, while the narrative points in another via Forbes.

This suggests even more an "information war," salvos fired at targets by other targets.

--- "the "New Churchill."

It amuses me that Churchill is a metaphor for the pro-Zelensky administration, but this calls to mind the famous photo of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin in that fateful meeting for Europe.

That meeting at Yalta was in the Soviet Crimea, and no historians today would call Churchill a "Stalin-ista" for the negotiation. Nor do historians generally make this Churchill's "finest hour."

Today, monikers are strewn about as if effective argumentation, when they are dull weapons at best.

Putinistas are posited by the Zelensky-istas

Let us consider if there are any threads posted like unto the few wherein "putinista" is posited, by listing some direct albeit fictional correlations:

Update from Russia | Glory to Russia (uploaded from Switzerland) < s a r c >
"Pray for Russia" graphics < s a r c >
President Vladimir Putin - Official website < s a r c >
Operational information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia < s a r c >
Ministry of Defense of Russia < s a r c >
First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Minister of Economy of Russia < s a r c >
Article -- Russia Today < s a r c >
VIDEO COMMENTARY -- Reporting from Russia (Alabama) < s a r c >

Looking through the Free Republic forum, there are no such threads posted. So the asserted "Putinistas" seem to missing a bet....

Refusing that there are more than two stances -- pro-Z or pro-P -- is a rhetorical game with a clear objective. To silence or at least dull criticism of the demonstrably corrupt Zelensky regime, for once upon a time "regime change" in Ukraine was desired (Nuland and her "F*ck Europe" diplomacy, the continuation of Obama and Biden and the deep state goals), but "regime change" in Ukraine is no longer desired.

Not as long as the grift can be sustained.

Might there come a time when a Yalta-like conference will be again necessary? It seems so, in which case the distinct lack of diplomacy will have to be walked back, big time.

An example of this was watching China "receive" a state visit from Germany recently by making the chap wait at the plane's door. Ditto with Blinken having to "overnight" before being received. We as a nation would do well to be more like Trump's "art of a deal" than Biden's (and therefore Obama's) "do it or else."

Will a new "Churchill" end up negotiating with a new "Stalin?" What is certain is that the EU Commission is terrified, having played the sanctions game for all it has been worth.

What is sure, at least to date, we haven't any YouTube videos of Churchill dancing in bondage leather.
