There is a certain fateful pattern to the last days of those who see themselves, and only themselves, as the single universal solution to all their country's needs.
When the end is clearly near a frantic effort is often made to create a change in such circumstances. The panic which tends to infest the brain in these circumstances largely precludes the possibility of determining good options which will indeed effect such a change for the better. So it appears in relation to the news today that seven of Zelensky’s ministers have tendered their resignations.
This comes immediately after a devastating Russian strike on a military academy where foreign instructors (Swedish nationals apparently) were training Ukrainian troops in the art of electronic warfare. At least a hundred in total died or were injured. Add to this the loss in the past week of around six HIMARS systems in the Ukrainian region of Sumy which lies adjacent to Russia’s Kursk region. For good measure there is also the Russians taking large swathes of territory and villages along the Donbass line of contact.
Zelensky certainly doesn’t need to go searching for problems. Every day brings more to his door. This is highly reminiscent of the situation and mentality of Adolf Hitler in the closing weeks of the second world war when he hid in the infamous bunker beneath Berlin that was to see his end. No doubt Zeelensky will be shipped out to save his vile skin when his time comes however. What’s the betting whether he will fear the Russians or his own people at that point?
Zelensky, said to be rather overfond of a certain white powder must be running through quite a bit of it right now. The collapse that has been a long time coming is now looking more inevitable than ever. He has already lost a commander in chief because he found Zelensky (like Hitler) giving orders when he had no background knowledge of military tactics and strategy but who just “knew” what needed to be done. Think ‘Operation Barbarossa’ against Russia. Hitler refused all the pleading from officers at the front who saw their men dying in a lost cause. Zelensky has the same ego-fuelled and terminally delusional self-regard as Adolf Hitler going since the start of this conflict.
The loud, virtually never-ending applause Zelensky received with plaudits ringing continually in his ears has made him almost as ruinous for Ukraine as Hitler was for Germany. Ukraine has lost the lives or health of some half a million in a conflict Russia never wanted but that the western powers ensured was inflicted on both nations every step of the way, taking care to block Russia’s every attempt to find sustainable diplomatic solutions. The incredible, cold-blooded cynicism and cold-blooded strategies of the West to do this are breathtaking in their demonic nature.
So now, unable to trust the abilities and advice of his closest advisers and ministers of his government, it appears Zelensky has decided that being a full-blown dictator is the best solution now. The megalomania involved appears terminal. No doubt he has become completely paranoid, believing he is surrounded by people seeking to overthrow him or, at the very least, people who he can no longer trust in the least. Now he will stand alone, making every decision on the basis of whatever madcap idea comes into his mind next. Either that or he will tap the most malleable lackeys he can that he believes will immediately jump to his orders.
This new ‘Winston Churchill’ is much more like Stalin than Churchill or any other western “hero” that British or U.S. acolytes and sycophants may wish to brand him. Notoriously corrupt and terminally arrogant he will no doubt soon shuffle off to one of his Swiss palaces bought from western taxpayers’ hard won paychecks. There he will continue to bray in that dark brown voice of his regaling a diminishing number of people who will listen to him, of how he was so right in all he did… if only, this, that or the other had been done by others.
