18 things to know about Jewish defender of Ukrainian democracy Volodymyr Zelensky


"He said in a 2018 interview, shortly before officially running for president, that because of them, he is unable to accept lies. “I always react painfully to lies,” he said. “This is the main feature that my parents gave me.”

ARE THESE "FACTS" ACTUAL FACTS?  LOL

That great defender of Ukraine democracy has run out his term and cancelled democratic elections indefinitely. 

He was hijacked by NATO, who turned him into their puppet,  NATO saleman, traveling around to NATO countries to sell NATO's never ending war with Russia.

Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of brave soldier lives(and causing suffering to a million of their loved ones)  and getting Ukraine decimated for the sole reason of......... joining NATO (instead of agreeing with Putin to not join NATO and have no war).

Betraying his country and people and campaign promise to negotiate peace with Russia in order to be a NATO hero with constant propaganda accolades that lie about the situation.

He killed off or permanently disabled over half his army and lost the war a long time ago.........but the NATO country propaganda continues to manufacture a fake reality to sell a never ending war with Russian and no peace plan. No negotiation. Just keep spending hundreds of billions to kill people so the elites in the Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex can stretch out their enrichment and agenda for as long as possible before it finally comes to an end.

Whenever that is, the damages will be MUCH GREATER than they are now. Which are much greater than they were 6 months ago, 1 year ago........etc.

Other than the elites, this war has nothing but increasing damage to the human beings involved and ZERO benefits. 

Where's the diplomacy and leaders that want peace?

NATO and the United States gatekeepers/politicians who pull the strings, are war mongers that don't want peace. 

Zelensky sold his soul to these devils that are propping him up with their propaganda.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has taken back control in areas of embattled Kharkiv region

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian forces have secured “combat control” of areas where Russian troops entered Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region earlier this month

"Independent confirmation of the claims wasn't immediately possible."

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/zelenskyy-ukraine-back-control-areas-embattled-kharkiv-region-110557585

"Independent confirmation of the claims wasn't immediately possible."

 Because, like the hundreds of other statements that Zelensky has given us the last 2 years.........IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!  Just more propaganda!

Ukraine lost the war a long time ago. Zelensky got over half of his army killed or permanently disabled. The Russian army is overwhelming his depleted force and is piling on, making more and more gains. THIS WAS ALWAYS INEVITABLE! 

Restore the democracy in Ukraine and let Ukrainians vote again. Stop protecting NATO puppet, Zelensky!

Putin looking for ceasefire to cement gains in Ukraine, Reuters reports citing sources

https://kyivindependent.com/reuters-putin-ready-for-ceasefire-recognising-current-front-lines-will-fight-on-otherwise/

Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to a ceasefire that recognizes the current front lines on the battlefield but will fight on if Ukraine and its allies do not agree, Reuters reported on May 24, citing undisclosed Russian sources.

"Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire – to freeze the war," a senior Russian source who has worked with him told the news outlet on condition of anonymity.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.

Except for unsuccessful talks during the early spring of 2022, there have been no direct peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Zelenskyy: There will never be peace talks with Putin

 September 28, 2022 12:01 pm CET

KYIV — There will be no peace talks between Ukraine and Russia as long as Vladimir Putin remains Russian leader, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday night.

https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-peace-talks-vladimir-putin-russia-ukraine/

Restore elections so that a new leader that prioritizes the lives of Ukrainians and doesn't use them for their self serving agenda as a NATO puppet can be elected. 

2+ years of sending brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions to weaken Russia because NATO wants that IS ENOUGH!!!!

It's way past time to give Ukrainians the peace they've been pleading for. The negotiations for peace  with Russia that Zelensky promised he would bring if elected in 2019 are a farce.  That was Before he was captured by NATO's promises to make him their top salesmen and NATO mascot. Promises that he would be a elevated to a great man and rewarded with his country being part of corrupt NATO. Sent traveling to the NATO countries to generate enthusiasm and support for NATO's war USING the Ukrainians he is supposed to be protecting and helping for their diabolical scheme.

Get this guy out! He's done enough damage to the human beings living in Ukraine!

The obsession with the Jewish community to point out that Zelensky is Jewish and a reason to support him is not unnoticed. What the heck does his nationality or religious affiliation have to do with his leadership??? At what other times did we obsess over this related to a leader, other than Obama being the first black president of the United States but that was totally different.

Zelensky has been catastrophic for the Jewish people living in Ukraine the past 2+ years, many that died for his personal NATO agenda. Just like the rest of the NON Jewish people living in Ukraine that have been decimated.

September 2021 Biden and Zelensky discussing the dynamics of  expected war with Russia. Provoke him by cutting off negotiations with Putin and telling him that Ukraine was joining NATO whether he liked it or not. Despite Putin's insistence that he would keep NATO from expanding into Ukraine, even if he had to invade Ukraine to do it.

Ukraine urgently needs soldiers, but some men are desperate not to fight

While volunteers lined up to fight Russia at the beginning of the war, manpower shortages are now an issue that could seal Ukraine’s fate even if it can retain Western support.

Dear NYT: Those hard-won gains were insignificant and exaggerated by you and the propaganda machine. to trick us into thinking Ukraine could win the war., which was impossible from day 1.
Now that they are really getting decimated, and even you can’t hide it, you want us to think that Ukraine had been winning the war and are describing it this way to save face  after 2 years of lying to us about it.

How about restore elections so the people can vote you out?

President Zelenskyy’s term is over but he’s still a legitimate wartime leader

https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/president-zelenskyys-term-is-over-but-hes-still-a-legitimate-wartime-leader/


“It would be unfair if those defending our land were denied the opportunity to vote,” commented President Zelenskyy in March.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Since he killed off half of his army, I don't think those men will EVER be coming back to vote...........but their family members are still alive and in a democracy, should have the right to vote the person that killed them out.

Ukrainians don't get to vote for Putin to hold him accountable but in a FREE  DEMOCRACY they are allowed to vote for or against THEIR LEADERS to hold them accountable.

How many Ukrainian citizens (other than corrupt politicians benefiting from the war) are better off today, than there were before electing Zelensky?

There's your REAL answer for why Zelensky is not holding elections. 

Almost no leaders would postpone elections if they knew they would win in a landslide. Ukraine is a blatantly corrupt country and now, isn't even practicing democracy. We are propping up a NATO puppet for NATO's agenda and US TAX PAYERS ARE FOOTING MUCH OF THE BILL!

Hundreds of thousands of brave Ukrainians are paying with their lives (with a million family members suffering their losses).

 GIVE UKRAINIANS THE PEACE THAT THEY ARE PLEADING FOR. STOP FUNDING IT AMERICANS! STOP LYING ABOUT IT GOVERNMENT/MEDIA!

This is more nonsense/propaganda from the NATO puppet. China is NOT part of NATO and can do what they want. NATO has driven China to become much closer to Russia. NATO refuses to negotiate peace with Russia because THEY WANT UKRAINE!

Russia won this war in Ukraine a very long time ago, using almost every authentic standard but NATO and NATO puppet, Zelensky refuse to acknowledge it or negotiated for peace.

For NATO, the war WILL NEVER END, which means Putin will just keep winning more and more.

Who gains from this?

US and Ukrainian politicians, including Zelensky.

The Military Industrial complex and media.

Everybody else loses, some lose really big.

$200,000,000,000 in losses to US tax payers so far.

Over half a million lives on both sides gone forever, millions in family members suffering.

Ukraine is being deprived of their desire for peace.  We should blame Putin of course but NATO provoked him intentionally and WANTS THIS WAR TO CONTINUE for their agenda.

https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/2024/06/02/zelenskyy-disappointed-at-world-leader-turnout-for-ukraine-peace-summit/

Mr Zelenskyy has been touring European nations in recent days seeking more military aid for Ukrainian troops, and warning partners of the risks if they show any signs of fatigue over the war.

++++++++++++++++++++++

What leader of any country in history that was involved in a war, for 2+ years, made hundreds of visits to other countries to generate support for their war? 

This is a NATO war and Zelensky is a puppet salesman that has sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of his brave soldiers, his people and his country to sell NATO's war with Russia to the rest of the world.

You don't believe me?

Name 1 good thing that has come out of Zelensky refusing to agree with Putin, the past 2+ years, that Ukraine would not become part of NATO? Zelensky elevated to a global hero that spews toxic propaganda and lies?

You should know all the bad things that have happened. All bad things. No good things and all everything being COUNTER productive. Ukraine is losing more land by the day. More soldiers every day after having half of them killed or permanently disabled. 

But NATO refuses to negotiate as Ukraine's bargaining position loses more and more and more. 

Ukrainians desperately want peace more than anything. Instead, we ignore their pleas and make them fight this war for NATO and pretend to the rest of the world this is what they want.  Sending their brave soldiers on suicide missions for NATO. Having their country obliterated...........for NATO.  Then, insist that we are "supporting Ukraine".

No!No!No! 

Use your heads. If you lived in Ukraine and had the choice of joining NATO or this, why would you choose this???? They didn't!  Traitor, Zelensky and NATO did and are selling it to us in NATO countries as "supporting Ukraine".

U.S. politicians chose this because they are part of the Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex in our country that benefits from wars.

They don't care about the actual human beings in Ukraine or they would have NEVER sent them on suicide missions for 2+ years for their self serving agenda.

Even now, after 2+ years, how many NATO leaders are crying out for peace? How many have a plan for peace? Just send another 61 billion to make sure the war can last longer with no end game strategy. 

Even this fake peace summit is all about SUPPORTING NATO's WAR not about negotiating for peace.

If that's not true, then please tell me where the people/entities with serious peace proposals are? or war ending strategies (other than Russia/China which they won't tell you about)?

Instead, all they talk about is escalating the war. Ukraine needs more money, more weapons, more soldiers, even after being completely trounced in Ukraine. 

And now, they are escalating to use NATO weapons to attack Russia. Pretending still, absurdly that this is not a NATO war with Russia. 

They apparently want WW3.  They keep insisting that Putin will come after Europe after he gets Ukraine. That is 100% manufactured nonsense to scare people into supporting the NATO war. Putin only wants to keep NATO out of Ukraine NOT to reclaim or attack any already NATO countries.

However, if NATO attacks Russia directly with NATO weapons IN RUSSIA,  it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that this will intentionally provoke Putin even more..... to the point where his response is likely going to be attacking a NATO country back.

And why would that not be reasonable?

This is a war between NATO and Russia, fought in Ukraine to get Ukraine or keep Ukraine out of NATO. 

The battlefield is in Ukraine. We all know that it's NATO weapons on the battlefield.

If NATO decides to attack Russia in Russia then its no longer a battle for Ukraine.

It's WW3, which is what aggressor  NATO wants to defeat Russia and almost impossible to think that Russia will not attack NATO back.

And why would that not be justified if you're Russia???

How is this a peace summit when the discussion focus's on how to escalate the war in order to defeat Putin IN RUSSIA instead of just negotiating for peace.

Russia has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the planet several times. He also has China as an ally.

All NATO has had to do from before the war was agree with Putin to promise to not add Ukraine to its very long list of anti Russian NATO countries.

Kyiv Fires U.S. Missile on Russian Soil, Kremlin Warns of 'Fatal Consequences'

Kremlin warns of 'fatal consequences' for America as footage shows 'first use of US missiles to destroy military targets inside Russia'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13488935/Kremlin-warns-fatal-consequences-America-footage-shows-use-missiles-destroy-military-targets-inside-Russia.html

+++++++++++++++++++

Instead of acknowledging Ukrainian's overwhelming defeat in the war in Ukraine with Ukrainian soldiers fighting with NATO weapons and negotiating for peace, which NATO refuses to do, NATO has now become so desperate that  they are   DIRECTLY ATTACKING RUSSIA ON RUSSIAN SOIL. This is a new, huge ESCALATION, the potential impact of which CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. 

This is extremely provoking Putin to attack back into NATO countries. 

Ukraine is NOT a NATO country. There is no alliance or agreement that makes what NATO is doing legal. But NATO has been acting like Ukraine is already in NATO for all practical purposes. 

This takes it to a new level. NATO attacking Russia inside Russia. Whether you think this is right or not, everybody should put on their reality thinking caps RIGHT NOW.

Putin's reaction to being attacked directly BY NATO INSIDE OF RUSSIA.

Nobody can possibly think that Putin will suddenly agree to withdraw all his troops in Ukraine, after WINNING THE WAR IN UKRAINE along time ago.......FOR ANY REASON.

And Putin will not just sit back and let NATO bomb the crap out of Russia.

SO PUTIN WILL DO SOMETHING TO DEFEND RUSSIA AGAINST NATO! NATO KNOWS THIS! NATO WANTS THIS!

NATO WILL NOT NEGOTIATE PEACE. THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY PROVOKING WW3!

Do you wonder why, suddenly 2+ years into the war, this is happening?

It's because NATO KNOWS THEY LOST THE WAR IN UKRAINE a long time ago and will never negotiate with Putin.

Somebody(s) with sanity, better come out of nowhere from NATO's side that is willing to convince NATO to negotiate peace and do it quietly behind closed doors or the WW3 reality could happen quickly overnight.

Why would we risk everything over a corrupt country, Ukraine that isn't even a democracy anymore. Make no mistake, in WW3, China is on Russia's side, as it has been for 2 years, even if not a vocal cheerleader.

Ukraine Is Closer to Crossing Putin's Biggest Red Line Yet

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-putin-red-lines-biden-1907796

So far, Putin has not followed through militarily on promises to punish the West for its support of Ukraine but whether this will remain the case and what his red lines are remain uncertain, especially given his announcement in May of nuclear weapon drills. Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin for comment.

"There will be a point for Russia where real red lines will be crossed and then of course, they're going to take relevant countermeasures," said Nicolò Fasola, author of the book releasing in July Reinterpreting Russia's Strategic Culture: The Russian Way of War, told Newsweek. "It potentially has strategic implications in that it could be seen by Russia as a considerable step up in escalation."

Hoh, a retired U.S. Marine Corps captain, who briefed the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) in March of the escalatory dangers of the war in Ukraine, said: "The great danger is what if these weapons from the West strike a civilian target, say a school full of Russian children, what then would Russia's response be?

"I don't think Russia will go so far as to attack Western military targets outside of Ukraine," he said. "I don't think the Russians want that kind of escalation, but for the extremely small benefits that these weapons will provide, the risks are simply too great."

+++++++++++

We should not forget that it was NATO(Biden) that blew up the Russian natural gas pipeline to Germany in the biggest, state sponsored act of terrorism/crime and biggest methane gas release in history.

We should not forget that Biden authorized the use of cluster bombs, that are outlawed in 100 countries.

These were just 2 examples of NATO not caring about ethics or principles but only about defeating Russia............no matter what!

NATO does not want peace. They want to destroy Russia, no matter the risks or what it takes. The propaganda is all about portraying NATO as the good guys and Putin as evil.

NATO and especially Zelensky want WW3 so that NATO can send in NATO troops, which would include US troops as agreed upon by the United States being a member of NATO.

Ukraine is a corrupt country that has stopped democratic elections, being used by NATO to have its war with Russia...........that Russia clearly won but NATO will not recognize that. Ukraine's army was mostly killed off/permanently disabled and couldn't recover, no matter what weapons we give them. They won't tell you this.

So the NATO response, is to continue to refuse to negotiate for peace with Russia and get even more desperate.........attack Russia on Russian soil to try to provoke Putin into defending Russia against a NATO country.........THEN WE CAN HAVE WW3 with an excuse to send in NATO troops, since Zelensky got his army killed off and lost this war A LONG TIME AGO!

Zelensky Warns Trump About Becoming 'Loser President' if Reelected

https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-donald-trump-loser-president-reeelcted-war-putin-1907637

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is warning former President Donald Trump that he could be a "loser president" if he tries to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia if he gets another term in the White House.

+++++++++++++++

That statement proves the point crystal clearly. Zelensky DOES NOT WANT PEACE. He's working for NATO not Ukrainians. He's betrayed and sacrificed half of his army and his country for fame and glory with his role FOR NATO, as their award winning,  puppet salesperson.

This charismatic charlatan was recruited by NATO/Biden to travel around the world, portraying this fake image of somebody fighting for democracy, freedom and peace against evil Russia, in order to sell NATO's WAR WITH RUSSIA. NEVER PEACE, ALWAYS WAR!

He really outed his true self with the statement above!

Give them a chance to vote again as they could before NATO and NATOs puppet, hijacked and used their country for NATOs self serving war with Russia.

Zelensky says no elections because he wants the entire military to be able to vote.

that will be very impossible because half of them are buried in graves.

Dude, Ukraine LOST the war by every standard a long time ago. Half their army has either been killed or permanently disabled.

Ukrainians WANT PEACE and ironically, that's why they elected Zelensky in 2019.......because he promised to negotiate peace with Russia.

Instead, NATO hijacked his brain and he's sacrificed Ukrainians for the almighty NATO agenda that has turned him into their charismatic global star, puppet. Traveling the world to sell support for the NATO war that has obliterated his country..........instead of just telling Russia that Ukraine would not join NATO.

NATO, stop pretending to be supporting Ukraine. You USED THEM for your agenda.

None of this would have happened without NATO, which still refuses to negotiate for peace as Ukraine LOSES WORSE every day.

Negotiating with Russia 6 months ago would have been much better for Ukraine.

1 year ago, even better.

2 years ago, better yet for Ukraine.

2.5 years ago............and there would have never been a war. 

But NATO continues to spout war propaganda like this instead of recognizing the reality because their objective is to destroy Russia.

Putin knows this better than all of us.  Yes, he's an evil guy but, on what planet is Putin going to let NATO destroy Russia?

PURE EVIL INSANITY~ IMO.  USE RUSSIAN ASSETS TO HELP UKRAINE "WIN THE WAR".

G7 leaders agree to lend Ukraine billions backed by Russia's frozen assets. Here's how it will work

"Leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy democracies have agreed to engineer a $50 billion loan to help Ukraine in its fight for survival. Interest earned on profits from Russia’s frozen central bank assets would be used as collateral.

Where would the money come from?

Most of the money would be in the form of a loan mostly guaranteed by the U.S. government, backed by profits being earned on roughly $260 billion in immobilized Russian assets. The vast majority of that money is held in European Union nations.

A French official said the loan could be “topped up” with European money or contributions from other countries.

A U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the agreement said the G7 leaders' official statement due out Friday will leave the door open to trying to confiscate the Russian assets entirely.

Why not just give Ukraine the frozen assets?

That's much harder to do."

‘A wall of BRICS’: The significance of adding six new members to the bloc

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/24/analysis-wall-of-brics-the-significance-of-adding-six-new-members

Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been invited to join the grouping of top emerging economies in January 2024.

“This has geo-economic, geostrategic and geopolitical implications,” Naidu argued, saying the latest additions will push some BRICS nations to think more about their Middle East policies, and for China and India to beef the existing policies.

China recently brokered the re-establishment of ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran, a role that would traditionally have been filled by a country like the United States.

India’s recently signed an agreement with the UAE to trade in Indian rupees and Emirati dirhams instead of in the US dollar.

Crucially, Naidu argued, the expansion list is “very energy centric”, adding that following the announcement, some analysts at the venue even facetiously commented if they should “call it BRICS plus OPEC?”.


metmike: 3.7 billion people is a lot of people, almost half of the world!!!!!!!!

Inclusion

Analysts have said that one of the countries that could benefit from a trading regime outside of dollar dominance is Iran.

“Iran will clearly benefit the most,” said Na’eem Jeenah, a senior researcher at the South African think tank, Mapungupwe Institute for Strategic Reflection.

He said its inclusion “highlights the fact that it’s not as politically isolated as the US wants it to be”.

Inclusion could also be an “economic lifeline” due to increased bilateral trade.

“Members would start trading with each other in their own currencies. For Iran, this would be great,” he said.

Naidu noted that “having Iran in the BRICS sends a massive powerful message to the G7, to the Global North, to Washington”.

“It says, ‘You can have a problem with them, we’ll keep them here.’ And it also says, ‘Your problems are not our problems.’”

Putin Warning: World 'Close to Point of No Return'

https://www.newsweek.com/putin-warns-that-world-close-point-no-return-1912819

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Friday that the "selfishness and hypocrisy of Western countries" had led to a "dangerous turn of events" and the world was "close to the point of no return."

++++++++++++++

The propaganda keeping us in ignorant bliss doesn't tell us that NATO's true mission is absolutely NOT peace with Russia. Verbally, they make up false narratives about being a defensive pact.

NO, NO, NO! 

Their actions are crystal clearly to destroy Russia. They won't negotiate for peace. They want Ukraine for strategic purposes to destroy Russia. 

Russia is in a fight for its very existence here, whether we can comprehend that or not. They are backed up against a wall with an opponent that DOES NOT WANT PEACE and will not negotiate or acknowledge that Ukraine lost the war a very long time ago.

NATO is starting a NEW war. One with new rules, new sanctions, new, desperate measures, like bombing Russia on Russian soil. 

Russia has defined what it wants.........Ukraine agreeing to NOT be part of NATO.

NATO?  It  wants Ukraine, so it can position NATOs nuclear weapons, aimed at Russia, it wants to destroy Russia.

Ukrainians? THEY WANT PEACE WITH RUSSIA!  Stop believing that we are supporting Ukraine. We killed off or permanently disabled over half of their army(and they need a NATO led army in order to stay in NATOs new war-that why NATO is sending its military to Ukraine right now, claiming they are there to "train", Ukrainian troops). NATO puppet, Zelensky, elected on his campaign to negotiate for peace with Russia,  got his country decimated and refuses to negotiate for peace and cancelled elections to stay in office. He's now a dictator/tyrant using Ukraine for his self serving interests......traveling around as a NATO salesman. Using his charisma and depraved morality, selling his soul to the NATO devil and sacrificing his people for NATO. One of the most corrupt countries in the world the WE MADE MORE CORRUPT!

Our only hope is that Putin will see that Trump is getting elected and wait it out, because TRUMP WILL END THIS INSANITY ASAP!

If Biden is reelected, NATO's mission to destroy Russia will continue. Russia will be backed into a corner. They will NEVER agree to letting NATO have Ukraine to place nuclear weapons aimed at Russia. 

And Russia has the absolute justification for taking this position, just like we did in 1962!

The Cuban Missile Crisis, October 1962

NATO: How dare Putin continue to tell NATO that it can't have Ukraine. How dare Putin negotiate for peace. NATO will destroy Russia, whether it’s in this war …..or with NATOs nuclear weapons in Ukraine  aimed at Russia in the next one. 


NATO: So what if Ukraine got decimated and lost the war. We say that the loser of this war calls all the shots. OK, forget that. We’re starting a brand new war now with NATO sending bombs into Russia, NATO. Stealing Russia‘s money and NATO toughening the sanctions On Russia. There will be no negotiating or peace ….only endless war with Russia…..until Trump is elected.

metmike: I suspect that NATO knows that if Trump is elected that he will end the war with Russian ASAP and so they are doing a full court press on Russia using everything they can, knowing that time is running out.

If Biden or his replacement is elected, the chance of a WW3 scenario that features US troops in harms way is greater than 50%.

It depends on how outraged the majority of Americans finally get  at these pathetic leaders taking us down this road/path TOWARDS hell.

“Our country finds itself at a pivotal moment. Our sovereignty and our security are no longer guaranteed by our geographic location," Blair said. Canada is surrounded by three oceans with NATO's biggest ally, the U.S., as its neighbor.

 "But the new threat environment, the greater accessibility of our Arctic, the new technologies and the actions of our adversaries have taught us that we need to be ready,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels."

Sick joke is right, Jean!

Do they think that Russia or China are going to invade Canada by way of the Arctic or one of the oceans?

This is retarded NATO propaganda type rhetoric to bamboozle people for support.

Donald Trump Responds to Photo of Pope Francis and Joe Biden—'Freaking Out'

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-photo-joe-biden-pope-francis-1913375

++++++++++++++++

Trump's description in not accurate, however neither is this, from the article:

"A White House readout of Biden's meeting with Francis said the president had "thanked Pope Francis for the Vatican's work to address the humanitarian impacts of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, including his efforts to help return kidnapped Ukrainian children to their families."

He "also reaffirmed his deep appreciation for the pope's tireless advocacy for the poor and those suffering from persecution, the effects of climate change, and conflict around the world," it said."

+++++++++++

This is a blatant misrepresentation to make it look like the Pope and Biden see things the same in Ukraine. The Pope totally disagrees with Biden/NATO in Ukraine and has been crystal clear about it from day 1!

The Pope wants the exact same thing for Ukraine as the people in Ukraine have wanted during this entire war........PEACE WITH RUSSIA VIA NEGOTIATIONS. It's NATO that wants to get Ukraine and to destroy Russia. Read the popes words for yourself below, NOT the ones the White House uses with propaganda to mislead us.

Pope calls for the 'courage of the white flag,' negotiation, in Ukraine

March 10, 2024

Pope Francis' use of the term "white flag" while speaking in an interview about the war in Ukraine has raised questions, which the Vatican press office tried to explain. The pope's hope "is for a diplomatic solution for a just and lasting peace," said Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office.

https://www.usccb.org/news/2024/pope-calls-courage-white-flag-negotiation-ukraine

Asked in an interview whether Ukraine should surrender and if doing so would legitimize the actions of the stronger power, the pope said that "the strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates."

+++++++++++++++

 Amen!!!


What the Pope Has Said About Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

In an interview published in June last year, the pontiff told Jesuit magazine La Civiltà Cattolica that the war was "perhaps somehow provoked" and recalled a conversation he had before the war where someone had told him that NATO was "barking at the gates of Russia."

While Francis criticized the "ferocity and cruelty of the Russian troops," he also appeared to warn against framing the war in black-and-white terms.

"We need to move away from the usual Little Red Riding Hood pattern, in that Little Red Riding Hood was good and the wolf was the bad one," Francis said. "Something global is emerging and the elements are very much entwined."

The pontiff has repeatedly called for peace in Ukraine, including in his 2022 Easter message where he said: "Let there be a decision for peace. May there be an end to the flexing of muscles while people are suffering. Please, please, let us not get used to war."

Pope Francis has previously stopped short of laying the blame for the war on Putin, saying in March that the conflict was fueled by "imperial interests, not just of the Russian empire, but of empires from elsewhere."

Not 1 mention of the Pope's REAL position with regards to the war in Ukraine, which is the polar opposite of Biden's!

For NATO/Biden and the charismatic puppet they hijacked to host their war and sell it to the world, betraying his people.......NEGOTIATE PEACE WITH RUSSIA! This is what Ukrainians want too!

That's my verbiage and characterizations not the Pope's.

How ironic too, that Biden thanked the Pope for his work to help people suffering from conflict, when the fact is that the United States is the #1 instigator and promoter of conflict, with this current president playing a key role right now.

WHAT A HYPOCRITE! To pretend to be in sync with the Pope on this topic.

The Pope cares about the real people. The human beings. The Ukrainians AND the Russian's dying. Brave soldiers from both sides forced to fight and die AND the civilians.  The Palestinians AND the Jews dying, especially the 2 millions innocents in Gaza.

What substantive measures has Joe Biden taken (other than disingenuous words about Gaza to get votes from pro Palestinians),  to support the Pope's objective of helping the people in these wars?

Trump mocks Ukraine’s Zelenskyy, calls him ‘the greatest salesman’

Despite assurances from GOP lawmakers, Donald Trump publicly mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, likely pleasing observers in Russia.

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-mocks-ukraines-zelenskyy-calls-greatest-salesman-rcna157546

 After all, Trump tried to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019

++++++++++++++++++

metmike: What a spin. It was BIDEN, using his son Hunter that extorted many millions from blatantly corrupt Ukraine while he was VP. 

+++++++

“I think Zelenskyy is maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that’s ever lived,” Trump said. Raising his voice and volume, the presumptive GOP nominee quickly added, “Every time he comes to our country, he walks away with $60 billion.”

+++++++++++

metmike: It's like Trump has been reading MarketForum!! This is exactly what I've been saying for a long time.

+++++++++++++

It’s an approach likely to gain favor with the Kremlin, less so with the Ukrainian leader

+++++++++++

metmike: And gain favor WITH THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE that will FINALLY HAVE PEACE. Spare us the "supporting Ukraine propaganda" Anybody buying that doesn't have eyes/ears, is incapable of critical thinking or is brainwashed by NATO to think we need to have constant war with Russia until Russia is destroyed.

Instead of agreeing with Putin to not let NATO have Ukraine, so that NATO can load up with weapons across the border from Russia(Can you say Cuban missile crisis) Zelensky, Biden and NATO have decided to get over half a million people killed or permanently disabled from both sides and have Ukraine obliterated for their political agenda to have Ukraine in NATO.............while the Ukrainians cry out for peace with Russia and stopping the corruption(which we made much worse by this war and the BIden family EXPLOITED TO THE MAX when Joe was VP-when he was supposed to be fighting corruption).

Funny how this article and many like them by the MSM,  twists what Trump has exactly right THE MOST into the 100% diametrically opposed opposite.

If Joe Biden had never been born, Ukraine's corruption problem would BETTER off.

If Trump has been president these last 4 years, its extremely likely every Ukrainian would be massively better off (except for the corrupt politicians-especially their NATO puppet, salesman that betrayed, abandaoned his countryman for global fame and glory.

What great leader, given the choice between this and what things were like 3 years ago, before the war........with the exception of having to promise not to join NATO WOULD PICK THIS???

We should note that Zelensky focuses most of his time traveling to NATO countries to plead for more money and weapons to continue the war with Russia, which will, with 100% certainty continue the suffering and decimation to his people and NO TIME discussing peace in a serious way, which is what his people want.

He was a professional actor before being elected because of his gifted  charisma and  ability to convince people on stage and in front of cameras

THIS IS WHY NATO RECRUITED HIM to be their sales person. He decided to take the job , working for NATO and neglect the one he was elected to do by the previous democracy(that he has turned into a dictatorship).

The people elected him in 2019 based on his promise to negotiate peace with Russia and to fight corruption.

Joining NATO was not the top priority..........until NATO hijacked his brain and he sold his soul to the devil!

Zelensky challenges Trump to release plan to end Ukraine war with Russia

I have the plan!

Restore the democratic elections in Ukraine so that the Ukrainian people can vote again and boot the charismatic, psychopathic NATO puppet, Ukrainian people traitor that travels to NATO countries, working for NATO (not Ukrainians)  to raise hundreds of billions for weapons to use by his brave soldiers (over half killed of permanently disabled) that he sends on suicide missions for NATO to continue THEIR war with Russia that was lost a very long time ago....... BUT ZELENSKY REFUSES TO NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE WITH RUSSIA, the promise he made in 2019 that got him elected and he broke in 2021, after meeting with Biden in the White House.

It's always been this simple.

Agree with Putin that NATO will NOT make Ukraine part of NATO, helping to stop NATO's EXTREME expansion, major threat and objective of destroying Russia.

                            By metmike - May 31, 2024, 4:52 p.m.            


Putin is clearly an extremely evil guy but this particular request has always been very reasonable/justified!

NATO refusing and intentionally provoking this war with Russia over making Ukraine part of NATO is crystal clear that NATO lies and is NOT a defensive pact.

The only way to have peace ASAP is for somebody NOT WITH NATO calling the shots or somebody, like the president of the United States that has most of the military power supplying NATO with weapons, coming to their senses and agreeing with Putin that NATO should not take Ukraine.

Trump knows this. At this stage it will be impossible for Ukraine to keep the territory it lost in its war to become part of NATO.  2.5 years ago, Ukraine could have lost NOTHING if Trump was president, since Biden made defeating Russia his mission and led the way with our corrupt, military, industrial complex bought and paid for self enriched politicians, along with the dishonest, ratings seeking media colluding with its propaganda machine.

Donald Trump's Reported Ukraine Plan Sparks Concern

https://www.newsweek.com/nato-trump-nato-ukraine-plan-redefine-1920464

Two Trump-aligned national security experts said he is considering a plan to block NATO's eastward expansion, in particular into Ukraine and Georgia. He would also look to negotiate with Putin over how much Ukrainian territory Moscow can keep

He said Trump's purported plan was to show American strength and influence could push Ukraine and Russia to a peace deal, but this idea was "fundamentally faulty."

"Instead, the U.S. should continue to support the victim of the bully, and show the bully that he can't prevail," Kovalenko added.

++++++++++++++

Yeah, right. The NATO plan is to serve up brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions and have Ukraine decimated in a war they lost a long time ago to teach the bully a lesson and call it "supporting Ukraine"

The reality is that NATO WANTS UKRAINE(and to destroy Russia) and PUTIN WILL NEVER LET THEM HAVE IT.

The reality is that UKRAINIANS WANT PEACE much more than they want NATO. They also want Zelensky to restore the democracy in Ukraine, after he stopped elections so that he can stay in office as dictator and NATO puppet.

Trumps plan would have prevented the war and all the tremendous damage to Ukraine, the world and the US the past 2+ years. Better late than never.  BIDEN/ZELENSKY/NATO have NOT been negotiating for peace so somebody NEW must take over leadership to end this horrific war.

This by itself is a decisive reason for me to vote for Trump, despite my extreme dislike for him. 

Overlook my personal feelings for his despicable behavior/personality and off the charts negatives........ to SAVE LIVES OF REAL HUMAN BEINGS.

There are other positives with Trump. At the top of the list is his energy policies.

The life blood of every developed economy is its energy delivery system.

 Fake Green energy schemes/scams based on a fake climate crisis being used for crony capitalism, political/government agenda/media sensationalism, ratings and zealot activism as well as sincere but very misinformed environmentalists is the recipe for energy and economic disaster in the US. 

The real green energy is the one actually greening up the planet via photosynthesis.......fossil fuels.

Calling solar and wind "green" energy when they are the complete opposite is like calling CO2 "carbon pollution"

These are completely made up terms designed to mislead people and  to sell a fake climate crisis agenda.

This source displays a blatant bias when it comes to climate change. 

Wanna know how to tell?

Anybody that uses the term "carbon pollution" for carbon dioxide is either not a scientist or is a blatantly biased scientist playing politics.

Using that term, carbon pollution is scientifically, exactly like using the term hydrogen pollution to describe water vapor/H2O in the air.

We know that a water molecule is formed from 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. Water/H2O is neither hydrogen or oxygen. It's a totally different compound/molecule, using atoms held together by covalent bonds. It's essential for all life on this planet. 

Water

The water molecule has this basic geometric structure
Ball-and-stick model of a water molecule
Space filling model of a water molecule
  Oxygen, O
  Hydrogen, H

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Exactly the same with CO2/carbon dioxide.  It's formed from 2 atoms of oxygen and 1 atom of carbon. It is NOT oxygen and it certainly is not the solid, carbon. It's a totally different compound/molecule, with 1 C atom, covalently bonded with 2 O atoms. It's an essential GAS! At 426 parts per million, CO2 is less than 50% of the optimal level for most life(assuming that most animals eat plants or something that ate plants).

We know exactly why people use the ANTI science term,  carbon pollution for CO2

When you hear a source using that term or read it, you can be certain that they are either scientifically ignorant on this topic or intentionally using it to try to trick people into believing  that the beneficial gas, CO2 is actually a pollutant and is bad, like black carbon or solid carbon particulate matter in the air.

This NATO puppet has been serving up Ukrainians and sending them on suicide missions, using NATO weapons for NATO's war with Russia ever since.

With more than half of his brave soldiers and army killed off or permanently disabled for an entirely lost cause from day 1, Zelensky has cancelled democratic elections(his term expired earlier this year) to make himself a dictator of Ukraine so that he can continue to serve NATO.

Here in the US, we've been bombarded with absurd propaganda that constantly contradicts the truth, elevates the Ukrainian traitor to a hero and claims that obliterating Ukraine and Ukrainians for NATO's cause is supporting Ukraine.

White House's Sullivan Outlines Plans to Strengthen NATO Support for Ukraine

https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2024-07-09/white-houses-sullivan-outlines-plans-to-strengthen-nato-support-for-ukraine

Sullivan said NATO is committed to standing with Ukraine in the long term as it battles Russian invaders.

"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin cannot divide us. He cannot outlast us. He cannot weaken us. And Ukraine, not Russia, will prevail," Sullivan said.

+++++++++++++++

Ukraine lost this war a long time ago and more than half of its army was killed or permanently disabled, so this delusional position is based on:

1. NATO's relentless expansion and provoking Russia by never giving up on having Ukraine in NATO.

2. The willingness to force hundreds of thousands of brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions FOR NATO, when the PEOPLE OF UKRAINE want PEACE WITH RUSSIA NOT NATO.

3. The betrayal by psychopath puppet Zelensky. He took up NATOs offer to be a global West star salesman for NATO.  Traveling to NATO countries to generate support/funding for NATOs war with Russia that he hosts in Ukraine. Getting his country obliterated with the objective of weakening Russia and expansion of NATO. Making himself a dictator by stopping elections(his term ended) so that people are no longer able to vote him out. 

4. US politicians call this "supporting Ukraine". With friends like this.........who needs enemies.

5. Not to ignore Putin as a very evil guy. But NATO has had 2 choices to Putin's ultimatum(and reasonable objective with WRONG tactics) to stop NATO from further surrounding Russia for it's NON defensive objectives. Either give up on making Ukraine a NATO country(surrounding Russia with NATO weapons which is NATOs objective) and have peace or continue on this path to make Ukraine an anti Russian NATO country and have Russia fight back.  NATO chose this path. NATO can stop this anytime it decides to NOT MAKE UKRAINE A NATO COUNTRY. That's it. The fact that NATO won't do that tells us a great deal about NATO. NATO DOES NOT WANT PEACE! They want to destroy Russia.
