Zelensky Appreciation Thread

[BannedFromDU]

I am on record backing Ukraine and Zelensky.

     It's a pity that this has to be said in any forum. The whole of Eastern Europe, with the possible exception of most of Poland, is a cesspool of scumbaggery and corruption and always will be. It's Africa with money and haircuts.

This is one of the best recaps I've read thus far today, and I'll snip parts of it for brevity:

Nolte: Zelensky Threw His Country Under the Bus to Audition for MSNBC

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Oval Office appearance was, without question, the biggest public self-immolation by a country’s leader in world history. First, Zelensky arrives at the White House dressed like a tiny Ninja. Then, in front of the American media in the Oval Office with President Trump and Vice President Vance sitting right there, he challenges Vance to explain how diplomacy would be possible today when when American diplomacy failed under former President Obama in 2014. “What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?” the Tiny Ninja sarcastically asked like a wiseass. “What do you mean?”

My mouth literally swung open. First off, when you are in a public forum, you do not address the Vice President by his first name, especially after you show up without a tie. Secondly, you don’t disrespect the President and Vice President with your stupid talking points. That’s true whether you are in public or private. Here’s a guy who is only able to hang on to his country because of ongoing American generosity to the tune of hundreds of billions in cash and weaponry, and there he is talking down to our Vice President and asking him hostile questions while insulting American diplomacy as feckless. To his great credit, Vance roared back with… “I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that’s going to end the destruction of your country.” And then Vance laid the pipsqueak out:

Basically, Zelensky shit all over the very people who are keeping him and his country alive in order to what exactly…? Receive applause from the regime media?

Barack Obama and Joe Biden treated Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu like he was some sort of virus, but never once did you see Netanyahu appear to be anything but grateful and respectful. I am on record backing Ukraine and Zelensky. Nothing would’ve made me happier than to see Putin humiliated back to his orders. But enough is enough. Ukraine cannot win the war. We can’t afford to fund this war any longer. People on both sides are dying with no end in sight. Ukraine war supporters have still not answered my questions from last week, and now I have one more: Why should we support an unstable, unprofessional, reckless, narcissistic, ungrateful maniac who has no intention of ending the war? He obviously wants a forever war or to lose his country entirely. He surely doesn’t want peace.

God bless Trump and Vance. They were absolutely magnificent.

Very well said, you hit the nail on the head.  I’m not sure he wants to sit down and negotiate, unless it’s on his terms and his favor, which will never happen. :thatsrigh

Zelensky is starting to believe what the liberal press says about him and I think that is the root of his problem.

[CollectivismMustDie]

In the real world, after Russia invaded and after the Moscow controlled Ukrainian Orthodox Church started spouting Putin propaganda, the Moscow controlled "church" was outlawed BUT the Ukrainian Orthodox Church that is actually based in Ukraine continues (as does, probably, other Christian sects).



Given that your first claim is facially false, I'm not going to burn time DDGing your other claims. Pundit factcheck yourself.

Your allegations are without evidence. You understand that they can be dismissed likewise?

Ukrain outlawed 11 opposition parties , ALLEGING russian ties. Those allegations were never proven, yet they were acted upon. Did you support that? Sounds like something that happened to our current President. Did you support that?


Ukrain has also not had elections in 6ish years, due to a declaration of martial law which *gasp* keeps zelinski in power.


As I said, any pretense that ukrain is a good actor in this mess, is a false pretense.

The tripe that leftist legacy media peddles about Slob-o-mir and Ukraine being as pure as the wind driven snow is complete garbage. Both Ukraine and Russia are corrupt as hell, and Putin is a f*cking worthless dictator. But that does not absolve their golden boy Zelenskyy.

Listened to the entire exchange yesterday and the slob sounded akin to a petulant child. While I hope that "The" Ukraine does ultimately prove successful, this reminds me of a sporting event (this year's Super Bowl, last year's World Series), when I wished that both sides lose.

Slimy world leaders don't show up in the people's house and disgrace the leaders that you're begging for billions with nothing in return.

I thought it interesting that Zelenskyy wore the same shirt to meet Trump that he wore campaigning for Kamala.

He’s a grifter. If he can’t agree to pay back what we’re giving him, he can stand on his own.

I am really starting to realize how much the world treats the US as a giant, bottomless treasury.  Depending on which numbers you are looking at, over 40% of the funding for Ukraine has been from the US.  Both the UN and Who have stated that they will have difficulty continuing their efforts without the US funding them. 

Zelensky is taking the US support for granted, because everybody has told him how wonderful and righteous he is for the last 4 years.  But, canceling elections due to being at war, and then talking about how far away the end of the war is does deserve a side eye.

That’s a good one and you forgot that they don’t poop on the sidewalks.

     I thought about that, but in my European experiences, the people there are sort of nasty already.
