Zelensky issues statement announcing that Ukraine and the US are working on a ‘ten-year’ funding agreement

Volodymyr Zelensky recently released a statement revealing that his regime and the government of Washington D.C. were in continued contact, “working on a bilateral security agreement” that would see “monetary aid” sent to Ukraine for an agreed-upon time of ten years.

Despite an individual’s personal feelings on the Russia-Ukraine war, the facts of the matter are that Ukraine is not a NATO country—and at this point, the cost-benefit analysis of being a member of the NATO pact is definitely not worth it for the American people—and Zelensky is not a good guy. This isn’t to say that Vladimir Putin is…but between the two? One nation is notoriously corrupt and a known hub of human trafficking, while its leaders push cultural LGBTQ++ perversion, steal our wealth (taking hundreds of millions off the top for themselves), send their own people into the meat grinder of warfare, and ally themselves with leftist Hollywood, Joe Biden, and all the scum of D.C.; the other nation sentences pedophiles to the death penalty, tells homosexuals and alternative-sexuality people to engage in whatever behaviors they like as long as it’s in private and nowhere near children, and naturally, doesn’t want hostile governments anywhere along its borders.

President Dwight Eisenhower’s Farewell Address made infamous the “military-industrial complex” machine, but why he neglected to call it the congressional-military-industrial complex like he originally intended is beyond me — particularly when you consider the “forever war” reality is the exact situation against which Eisenhower strived to warn.

Peace, or a cessation of fighting, is the best option, but peace means the gravy train comes to an end—no wonder it’s off the table, and the powers that be are concocting ten-year plans for sending our money to a country with no accountability.

The citizen voter no longer has representation. They campaign with the lies we want to hear and then we vote.

Once seated, that rep abandons us and joins the uniparty of DC.

The whole system is broken and many of us know it. Others totally cannot see it and do not want to see it. And the rest want our Constitutional Republic gone.

Well they do until they get a full taste of what is to come following it’s demise.

If Trump wins and actually gets to take office, the battle will just be beginning and the fight will be even tougher than in 2016 unless he takes some very drastic measures and trusts no one already in government.

Forget the uniting crap. There are a fair amount who will never accept not getting their way because tearing this country to shreds is the goal to install the globalist’s World Order.

This will only energize Russia to crush and dismember the entire territory of the Ukraine.

Lets send American farmers over to Ukraine. Let them till that soil and raise the crops. That country has some fantastic agriculture regions but they do not know how to farm it correctly. That would give Ukraine all the money they needed to support their own war that we have no business being in. Of course the farmer will need to take their cut before sweaterman gets his hands on the goodies.

A ten year funding agreement.

For a ten year war.

How many Russian assets can we seize ? 300 billion ??

This guy Zelensky will bleed us dry in an endless war with Russia.
Where are the adults in our government? Are there none left? Please issue them dictionaries with the page containing “negotiation” bookmarked. It’s a word they need to learn.

Arent they all?

This will only energize Russia to crush and dismember the entire territory of the Ukraine.

To do that, Russia will have to be at war forever, and have an economy that only supports war. In essence, Russia would be dismembering itself, while attempting to destroy Ukraine.

This is not a war that Russia can win without self-destructing. It's homicide on Ukraine while committing suicide. Homicide followed by suicide. Who wins?

“working on a bilateral security agreement that would see monetary aid sent to Ukraine for an agreed-upon time of ten years.”

Without a treaty, it can be reversed by the next administration.

They should name it the “Perpetual War Fund Treaty”.

This war will end in a compromise. The sooner this happens the more lives will be spared.

Last I checked they are not $37 trillion in debt and trying to eternally fund three different wars.

Apples and oranges.

Russia is a third-world economy, with an economy not much bigger than Canada's or Italy and below most other developed western countries.

But, since you brought it up with the American debt, what is Russia's debt? Mind you that neither Russia nor China will divulge their real economic problems. So, let's have it.

[Pearfect]

Sure hope you are correct.

These politicians are destroying this GREAT COUNTRY.

ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR THIS NEEDS TO BE KICKED OUT.

Apparently circa 245 billion in USD equivalence.

For a tiny and third-world economy, that's a huge number.

But, who in Russia puts out a credible number? Tyrannical regimes are not known for reporting the truth. Do you know the real truth?

Your reply as it is was expected. That question applies equally to us all. It's not a case of apples and oranges, but of what the future will bring. Time will tell, and in the moment, this nation's official national debt is rising a trillion every few months, so "real truth" is that "we're screwed," as said in a more colorful phrase.

Thanks for the link. Amusing, even if on a horrid subject.
