There’s a very good reason why Zelensky is staying out of Ukraine after his failure to assassinate President Putin.<\/b><\/h3>"},"content":{"rendered":"

\u201cFollowing the ouster of Mr. Trump in 2020, this new-new-left had exactly what it had been clamoring for, a liberal Democrat in the White House. Given the sense of impending catastrophe at present, it may be difficult to remember precisely how much sniveling bullshit went into selling Joe Biden.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

– Rob Urie<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you noticed that the president of Ukraine (or, governor of America\u2019s fifty-first state), Mr. Zelensky, has been globe-trotting for weeks:<\/strong>\u00a0London, Helsinki, Paris, Hiroshima? That\u2019s because this is one of those months when years happen; the world is changing at hyper-speed. He seems to be running scared, a little bit, trying to keep ahead of the changing game. What sounded like a great idea to a certain claque of so-called neo-cons in our country \u2014 to use Ukraine as a bear trap \u2014 has instead rather suddenly revealed Europe\u2019s and America\u2019s manifold bankruptcies and revolted the whole rest of the world outside of Western Civ. Oh, the wonder and nausea!<\/p>\n

Try to imagine Mr. Zelensky\u2019s predicament.<\/p>\n

Mighty America and redoubtable Europe conned the former comedian to thinking that if he went along with a genius scheme to ruin Russia and knock Vlad Putin off the global gameboard,\u00a0his sad-sack country would be transformed into something like Ukro-Disneyworld, while he, Mr. Z, would be lionized and made rich beyond his wildest imaginings<\/strong>. His backup was the greatest hegemonic power the world has ever seen.\u00a0The game was called\u00a0Let\u2019s You and Him Fight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

The poor schlemiel fell for it.\u00a0<\/strong>He let NATO (that is, the USA) set-up, equip, and train the largest army in Europe, including battalions of bad-ass, hard-core Ukro-Nazis \u2014 who had previously been so useful in the American-sponsored 2014 Maidan \u201ccolor revolution.\u201d Mr. Z followed the US State Department\u2019s orders to rain down rockets and artillery on Russian-speakers who lived in his own eastern provinces. He formally applied for membership in the NATO club. His country received billions of US dollars without audit oversight, just screaming to be creamed off by Ukraine\u2019s leadership \u2014 who, after all, deserved a little something for all these goings-along. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n

Thus, Western Civ kicked off Europe\u2019s biggest hot war since the 1940s. So, in February, 2022, Mr. Putin had enough of the monkey business on his \u201cfront porch\u201d and sent in a clean-up crew. Game on!<\/p>\n

The US neo-cons were ready to feed countless Ukrainian troops into a meat grinder that would, theoretically, exhaust the will and resources of the execrable bear and yield countless benefits reinforcing our dominant position in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our hapless NATO \u201cpartners\u201d went along with the program, despite being asked to commit economic suicide for the greater good of the alliance (or something like that). Anyway, they didn\u2019t need that filthy Russian nat-gas. They were going \u201cgreen\u201d (Klaus Schwab said so, didn\u2019t he?)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the citizens of our country were groomed to perfection by the US Propaganda-Industrial Complex screaming \u201cRussia, Russia, Russia,\u201d at the behest of opinion-leader Hillary Clinton, a wannabe president.\u00a0<\/strong>The news media demanded crucifixion for her opponent, Mr. Trump, who had idly tossed out the heinous idea that The USA and Russia could cultivate a friendly relationship, seeing as how the bear was no longer flying the red flag. Aye-yi-yi!!! He actually said that!?! The clueless orange boob!<\/p>\n

Well, the folks running things in America \u2014 that is, the scores of unelected bureaucratic satraps guarding their nests throughhout the Okefenokee inside-the-Beltway, especially the gator-pit known politely as the Intel Community \u2014 decided to subject Mr. Trump to a one-man version of the exquisite torment intended for Russia, Russia, Russia: pain, ignominy, and ruin. They\u2019re still at it six years later, since the relentless Mr. Trump will not give up his crusade to take back the White House and defenestrate all those attempting to defenestrate him. His enemies have captured all the levers of legal power, and yet, amazingly, they can come up with nothing but the most rinky-dink charges to railroad him in captured jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

This internal political conflict in the USA has driven the populace plumb insane, while it has rendered our institutions rancid and left us subject to a pathocracy hiding behind a laughably fake chief executive.\u00a0<\/strong>After a year-plus of America\u2019s genius scheme to maintain world dominance, Russia is doing really well, thank you, in constructing a geo-economic framework for trade that will not be subject to the pranks of USA-led Western Civ. Russia is a nation of people who regard themselves as men and women, the toils of gender confusion happily absent. Ditto race hustles. Ditto banking Ponzis.<\/p>\n

After two-plus years of \u201cJoe Biden\u201d \u2014 well, our country is bypassing the banana republic stage of dissolution and depravity and steaming quickly into a Hieronymus Bosch dystopia of financial, social, psychological and moral ruin. Every official utterance is a lie. Everything\u2019s broken or breaking. And seemingly, on-purpose. The nagging question, of course, is on whose purposes?<\/p>\n

And why is Mr. Zelensky flitting from one country to another the past month? Because the game of\u00a0Let\u2019s You and Him Fight<\/em>\u00a0is drawing to a close and Mr. Z may find himself fatally unpopular back on the home-front.<\/strong>\u00a0He has managed to send upward of a hundred-thousand young Ukrainian men to their deaths in the meat-grinder, and perhaps a million more have hightailed it for other countries.<\/p>\n

Ukraine will now be a land of mostly women, children, and old folks – with just enough surviving soldiers left looking to\u00a0hunt down the comedian who turned Ukraine into another one history\u2019s sick jokes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
