Volodymyr Zelensky may have begun his political career as a Russian-speaking peace activist who happened to be an actor in a popular TV series where he fought corruption as a servant of the people… but how quickly he flipped to the opposite pole regarding each and every character trait.
Apart from being the most vociferous warmonger since Hitler he has proceeded with speed down the path to dictatorship with almost every passing month since his election as president. Jailing those who opposed him, closing down radio and TV networks who dared criticise him and building known extremists with a Nazi mindset into his army this former comedian is anything but funny.
Zelensky heads an army of haters, people who in recent days have used Russian prisoners of war to explode mines by making them run into the fields where they are laid. If they survive they are executed. These are the same fine fellows who enjoyed gouging out the eyes of other Russian POWs, of kicking them to death after placing bags over their heads, who think nothing of shelling the Russian-speaking Ukrainians of the Donbass, supposedly their fellow Ukrainian citizens. Zelensky praises these godawful demons. As do many elite figures and organisations within western political and media spheres. You may recall how the AZOV Battalion were once beyond the pale in the West. No more. Now they are accorded the status of heroes.
Now Zelensky comes with his begging bowl to Washington once again seeking fresh weapons of war and almost endless U.S. dollars with which to continue a conflict that only Russia wishes to see end. More slaughter is the only thing Zelensky’s sponsors appear ready to countenance. More grist for the meatgrinder mill that is the Ukrainian offensive that has ground on for months now, plodding forward with extremely little to show for it but mounds of bodies. Biden and Blinken plus their braid-covered colleagues make up fairy stories of Ukrainian progress while shielding their eyes to the sorry facts, their reckless gambit against Russia has utterly failed.
So how much longer will the increasingly impoverished citizens of the USA and Europe continue to cough up their hard-earned cash to support a dictator in Ukraine who loses in excess of 500 of his compatriots every day that dawns while stoking ever more hatred and lust for war? For how much longer will the White House and their clones in London’s Whitehall be tolerated as their incessant lies are increasingly exposed as cynical tools with which to condition their populations? How can this cynical farce by western political and media elites go on? How can these people sleep at night? Presumably they would far rather see thousands more die than have their lies brought to light.
Do westerners even care? Are they so lost within their little self-interested worlds and political cynicism that they turn a constant blind eye to the fact that their societies are fast crumbling around them while their money is fed into the mouth of hell in Ukraine? Are they so inured with it all that they believe nothing can be done and that the politicians are all equally bad, so what’s the point of trying to change anything? Each political party westerners might vote for sing the praises of this war, devote themselves to its furtherance and seem totally dedicated to sending ever more of whatever Zelensky needs into that unholy maw.
But really… how long now, even in their present apathetic and highly conditioned state of mind, will western populations continue to feed the West’s most favoured dictator, Volodymyr Zelensky?
