Fed Up with Zelensky

Timothy Birdnow

President Trump has about had it with Ukrainian dictator Volodomor (which mans the prince) Zelensky.

The Ukrainian President for Life (who has overstayed his term of office) has angered President Trump by attacking Russian diesel refineries, contributing to the worldwide diesel shortage and driving up inflation in the U.S. (Vladimir Putin at least holds sham elections, something Zelensky doesn't bother doing.)

Trump posted:

Rapid Response 47

.@POTUS: We told Zelensky, 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, but don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem.' And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He better damn well stop.

This right after a Trump had a very productive phone call with Vladimir Putin.

Putin had agreed to provide 300,000 tons of diesel to the West.

Was this a wise strategy by Zelensky? Probably in that the Europeans won't sour on him no matter how much he hurts their people and the sale of diesel will bring Russia some very much needed revenue. But he has now angered the President and knowing Trump he will find a way to punish the Ukrainians.

The GOP in Congress should put through a bill to scrap the Lindsey Graham funding bill for Ukraine but they won't do it, I am sure. Trump's been on the fence about restricting the exportation of American diesel; now is the time. Make the Europeans suffer from no fuel. Maybe they will bring pressure on Ukraine for this.

Trump should restrict weapons exports to Ukraine too. Without our weapons I suspect the Ukrainians will find their war fortunes changing quickly. They are heavily dependent on American military aid.

If any nation wants our help they have to accept our conditions. Ukraine would long since have become a province of Russia were it not for our aid. But, like all welfare recipients, they are ingrates on a par with the rest of Europe.

There is nothing more despised than a benefactor.

At any rate Trump is going to have to punish Ukraine and Zelensky. Make no mistake; Zelensky is cheering for the Democrats to win in November.

BTW 72% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky personally responsible for the terrible corruption in the country. If there were elections held the big Z would lose. And they are right.

There is precious little interest in Zelensky's wealth or where his money is going. I find that quite interesting given the Ukrainians were sending lots of money to Hillary Clinton back in '16. And Elon Musk found more than half of U.S. aid to Ukraine was laundered back to Democrats.

Trump is right; Ukraine needs a new President. Zelensky is only out for himself.
