We are being manipulated by corporate media war propagandists, Zelensky and the European socialists into confronting Russia for aims that are contrary to the best interests of the United States. And I’m not convinced Zelensky is not on some kind of mind altering drugs, as has been alleged.

It seems Zelensky doesn’t intend to compromise or cut a deal on anything, much less have free elections in his own country any time soon. That’s what a ceasefire and lifting of martial law would help accomplish. He doesn’t want peace as much as Trump does and his confrontational, irresponsible and flippant attitude says this.

Zelensky wants the collective West to confront Russia, in the name of “democracy,” no matter what the costs and it has already cost them and us a lot. And this isn’t what’s best for the West. We’re economically on the rocks ourselves and $36 trillion in debt.

He portrays a Ukrainian consensus that continued war with Russia is what the people really want and only what they want. For him, it’s NATO or the highway. But that’s the genesis of the war in the first place. Maybe he should hit the highway.

Zelensky is the smaller tail trying to wag the bigger dog and Trump isn’t having any of it.
