I guess everyone is up in arms because Zelensky and his wife took a break from burning up $5 billion a month, and countless lives fighting Russia. And losing.
I have big problems with this mutt but PR is not one of them. Soldiers and civvies in war need to keep morale up and leaders schtump for the cameras all the time. If the sight of those two in a fashion magazine gives the Ukes a bit of a lift in these dreary days, I have no problem with it. Although I am rootin’ for Putin, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people.
On telegram, the Russians trucked out this 16 year old soldier that they shot up in a firefight. The kid was lightly wounded but absolutely heart broken and furious. Kids like himself are sent to fight the Russians, but the kids of the leaders all get a pass. The Russian interviewing him told him, “of course, that’s the way it is! And - do you think Zelensky is going to stick around after we win this war? He has at least 4 mansions in countries around the world!” Of course, that’s the way it works in any country, ours included.
I think about portraits of bravery - and I think it’s a 16 year old Ukrainian kid, not some political finger puppet like Zelensky. He and his wife are craven, hypocritical grifters and I think the majority can see through it. It galls me that our leaders here are made from the same stuff.
My high scruel bud's dad fought in WW2. He told me they had a saying in his unit. General Patton was called "Old Blood and Guts", and Mr. Looney would say, "yeah, our blood, his guts". It has always been thus. The common man does the living, fighting and dying. The overlords take the credit for the win, or place blame for the loss. They never seem to pay the piper like the common man does.
ReplyDeletePsalm 37 is what keeps me grounded when I start getting upset. (I couldn't remember where it was so I had to look it up. THAT means I'm slacking... I need to get back in the groove of reading through the Bible every year. I dropped that a couple years back.)
George S. Patton, Jr. fought in WWI and was wounded in action. After being shot, he commanded the battle from a shell hole for an hour before being evacuated to the rear.
DeleteThe Hebrew sky God hasn't stopped a single war. It's time to lose this ostrich head in the sand fiction that enables the oligarchs to spend the blood of youth.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous so what does the Asian Oligarchs do with a Hebrew "Sky" God then? Don't blame God for the evil that men are so capable of.
DeleteWell, Glen... she IS a highly ornamental grifter. So... there's that.
ReplyDeleteIt's been 5 months since Putin kicked off this shitshow and Ukraine still hasn't been conquered. I wouldn't say Zelensky is winning but be sure as hell hasn't lost either.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to broaden your research Tree Mike.
DeleteNobody is meant to "win" this, it's nothing but a money making scheme for congress, the armament sector wrapped in a laundering op. "But people are dying!" you say. Yes, people are dying, do you think that means anything to the principle parties running the op? Short answer: No.
Delete- WDS
You're right on with the money-laundering/grift scheme, but UKR is so much more. It's also (in no particular order):
Delete1. A way to "accidentally misplace" millions in various weapons and weapons systems. You can bet that arms that supposedly went to UKR will show up in some third world shithole (or some actually civilized place even) right after a convenient color revolution (tm).
2. All those curious-and-totally-random fires that have destroyed our food processing and storage facilities aren't enough. Cutting off UKR's grain exports will accelerate people from Middle East and North Africa flooding into Europe, since they get lots of their wheat from UKR, and without it? Famine. After all, the future is humanity becoming a single Afro-Eurasian race, benevolently ruled over by a superior intellectual class. You might call them a "chosen" class. That's the ticket.
3. Chaos of war is great cover for human trafficking. Blonde, blue-eyed Slavic girls are *much* more valuable than some poor bint kidnapped out of Afghanistan or Mali.
4. Slavic brother wars! Extra bonus.

Of course Zelensky is a grifter. He's a Jewish comedian ruling a nation of Christians, after all.
