Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, Vance goes very badly

Post Reply New Topic

Just whose puppet is Zelensky supposed to be? And just how is he supposed to be corrupt?
NATO the tool of western elites? Evidence please.
The Joe Biden the right has conjured up for the sake of political gain bears little resemblance to the real man. Rumors that he took advantage of Ukraine are just that: only rumors. I seriously doubt he's the money grubbing monster that Putin or Trump fit better with.
Putin wants more than just Ukraine's mineral wealth. He is hellbent on rebuilding the Russian Empire, which means gobbling up the former Soviet Republics.

...The alliance, after all, was created in the aftermath of World War II to meet specific regional and situational strategic challenges posed by the Soviet Union. So long as it stayed within those original parameters and geographic limits, it successfully deterred the threat of Soviet expansionism in Europe.

However, as NATO’s mission devolved and lost its focus after the end of the Cold War, it has become increasingly apparent that the alliance has shed its defensive basis and been reconceived as an organization whose primary directive is to expand America’s sphere of influence globally through the continuous encroachment on various regional powers’ more immediate spheres of interest. NATO’s rhetoric and actions — especially since its intervention in Yugoslavia in 1999 — signal an intentional strategic shift toward adopting a globalized agenda, thereby facilitating its transition to become the global military arm for the U.S.-led liberal international order. Ironically, this rather aggressive and maximalist reorientation also puts America’s core national interests at risk. This systematic push for subordinating the strategic autonomy of NATO’s relatively powerful members to Washington’s priorities is often achieved through a neo-Wilsonian approach. This approach instrumentalizes the nationalism of smaller states to justify intervention abroad, diluting a more robust idea of American national interest here at home. The national self-determination of smaller states outside NATO is utilized to guilt and unify the alliance behind the U.S. foreign policy establishment’s priorities. In the process, this approach undermines the agency, sovereignty, and foreign policy of many allied states, not to mention those of the American people.

NATO’s new raison d’etre has thus become the global defense of smaller faultline nation-states — which are not party to the alliance — from revisionist great powers that dare to challenge U.S. global hegemony by insisting on their own historical sphere of interest. This is especially questionable in a world moving towards multipolarity and away from the stark binaries propagated by those who defend permanent U.S.-centered alliance networks using ideological frameworks and Cold War logic.

Given its highly bureaucratic and top-down structure, NATO displays intense disapprobation of member states that attempt to assert their own interests. This often occurs when member states seek new minilateral security arrangements with countries outside the alliance or even work together to sidestep the alliance and create more localized alternative arrangements.1 Such diplomatic and strategic maneuvers are particularly obstructed when their aims contradict NATO’s institutional agenda.

Biden and his cronies were more than happy to send US taxpayer money to Ukraine, rumor has long been that they only sent a fraction of those funds to Ukraine and funneled the rest into their hidden stashes.

Who is Zelenskyy a puppet for? That is a good question, one with no definitive answer. Some believe it is intelligence community such as CIA, MI6, and/or Mossad. Others believe it is a global 'shadow government'. Some even believe it is Israel because of Zelenskyy being Jewish.

So basically, you're claiming he's the puppet of some undefined "them" and we're supposed to believe that claim without any evidence, just conspiratorial vibes.

Zelensky is asking for permission to have the option to triggering mutually assured destruction

there are idiots in the EU who think its a good idea to hand over nuclear weapons to Zelensky. You will have to excuse the Indian media they aren't enamoured in joining the rush to destroy themselves in order to prop up a nationalist regime that happens to be anti-Russian.
