Zelensky will seek more weapons and a longer leash so he can recklessly use US missiles to strike Russian cities and infrastructure. A recipe for World War III? You bet!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky began his visit to the United States in Pennsylvania with a stop Sunday at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where he thanked American workers producing the 155mm artillery shells Ukraine uses to kill Russians in a nasty border war with its fellow slavic neighbor to the east.
I wonder how those American workers feel making weapons for the leader of perhaps the most corrupt country in the world, Ukraine, which is being used by a corrupt Washington Unitparty to poke the Russian bear in the eyeball. Maybe they’re not aware of the geopolitical ramifications of their work. I doubt many are or they would be looking for other, less provocative jobs.

But Zelensky is a master at spinning lies and clever propaganda, playing Westerners who fall easy prey because of their lack of knowledge about the history of the Ukraine-Russia dispute. Even the BBC, in a March 2022 article, acknowledged Zelensky’s speeches appear crafted to “shame” Western parliaments into giving him more money and weapons.
“It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail,” Zelensky posted on X, praising the Pennsylvania factory, which has boosted production to try to meet Ukraine’s endless needs for more shells. “Thanks to people like these — in Ukraine, in America, and in all partner countries — who work tirelessly to ensure that life is protected.”
That statement is utterly laughable as life is being destroyed every day in Ukraine and in Russia because of a senseless and bloody war that no politicians seem to want to end.
Zelensky the dictator wants you to think he represents freedom and democracy. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has remained in office well past his term’s experation date and refuses to hold elections. He’s shut down all media that criticizes the war, and he’s banned all opposition political parties.
In perhaps the most vicious action, Zelensky’s government has persecuted the Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Church, seizing its churches and monasteries and throwing many of its priests in jail.
With all the pleasantries aside, the dictator Zelensky’s primary mission in the U.S. begins tomorrow when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly’s annual gathering in New York City and shares his so-called “Plan for Victory” while saving the granular details for his meeting with Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.
“The U.S. president will be the first to see it in full,” Zelensky said in a video address before leaving Kiev. “Of course, I will also present the Plan for Victory to all leaders of partner countries who, like President Biden, are world leaders and can become leaders of peace by helping us.”
Note the Orwellian language. “Leaders of peace” while they push forward with endless war, making no attempt to end it.
“The victory plan is a plan that swiftly strengthens Ukraine. A strong Ukraine will force Putin to the negotiating table. I’m convinced of that,” Zelensky told the New Yorker in an interview last week while invoking more Orwellian doublespeak.
This war has done anything but “strengthen Ukraine.” It has dealt the Ukrainian people a crushing blow.
Zelensky said more Western support will lead to a diplomatic end to the war. Does he honestly believe that?
Force Putin to the negotiating table? This is a big lie that most of the ignorant American masses will swallow whole.
Truth is, Putin was already sitting and waiting for a partner at the negotiating table one month after the war started, in April 2022. He reportedly was willing to pull back his troops under two very reasonable conditions. Ukraine needed to guarantee it would not join the NATO military alliance and stop shelling Ukrainian towns and villages that are populated with mostly Russian-speaking Ukrainians. In other words, stop threatening Russia with Ukrainian NATO courtship and stop using your military in an aggressive manner.
The corporate media won’t tell you that. They want you to think Putin is the aggressor in charge of an expansionist Russia. Putin, they say, wants all of Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic states and more. He wants to re-assemble the old Soviet empire.
They have no evidence of that. NATO, on the other hand, keeps pushing eastward in obvious expansion mode for well over 20 years now. That’s the dirty little secret no Westerner is supposed to know about, and if they do, they mustn’t share it in public for fear of being branded a Russian asset. We’re not allowed to look at facts, and we’re certainly not allowed to have an opinion that doesn’t match up with the Washington warmongering Uniparty.
We are not pro Putin. We are anti-war and pro peace. But our puppet politicians are way out of touch with their constituents. They don’t represent us. They work for their friends in the military-industrial complex.
Zelensky is delusional if he thinks there are any plans for a “diplomatic end of the war,” as he claimed in his interview with the New Yorker.
