10% FOR THE BIG GUY IS HOW MANY BILLIONS?
Remember when little LARPer 'High Heels' Zelenskyy pulled out all the sob-inducing stops in his highly-emotional tear-jerking appeal for unwary Americans to finance his regime?
I do. Many on JPP seemed willing to start WWIII to retain him in power as the puppet of braindead Biden's interests in Ukraine.
Squeaking his never ending appeals to Congress during the dark years of Democrat dominance, I recall vividly when shorty short stuff infinitivally invoked Mount Rushmore, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and MLK's “I have a dream” in his scripted beg-a-thon to the then-Democrat-dominated U.S. Congress presided over by a soused San Franciscan sot who was (and probably still is) heavily invested in "defense" stocks.
I strongly suspected at the time that his short-bus special pleading paen was written for him by Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland and Jake "The Snake" Sullivan.
Unfortunately, his sappy, saccharine script omitted any mention of Washington’s Farewell Address.
The vertically-challenged Ukrainian comedian/actor/dancer/president crammed Old Glory and most of American history into his asinine appeal to the concept of "free dumb" to ask the United States to send our boys die for him in his feckless fight, and pick up the tab, because he left his wallet at home.
“Is this a lot to ask for, to create a no-fly zone, zone over Ukraine to save people?” High heels Zelenskyy whined wistfully. “Is this too much to ask, humanitarian no-fly zone, something that Ukraine, that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities?”
Why, yes, shorty McShortribs.
However understandable it may have been that you would ask, it actually was too much to ask.
You see, here's the thing:
- No-fly zones aren't maintained with declarations or posts on JPP. They have to be backed up with force.
- Enforcing a no-fly zone over unhappy Ukraine would likely involve shooting down Russian warplanes.
- I suspected then that shooting down Russian aircraft would mean war with Russia, who, if I recall correctly, have nukes.
High heels Zelenskyy, perhaps knowing his querulous questions answered themselves, added: “If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative.”
The "alternative" called for more of our tax dollars and more virtue signaling, which the brainded Biden bunch was happy to provide.
But now Daddy's home.
Here's my take.
Like the 34x felon, I believe in America first - in everything.
Like the 34x felon, I believe America's interests dictate that we avoid starting a war with another nuclear power in another hemisphere.
IMO Americans should not maintain more than a sporting interest in über-underdog Ukraine repelling the evil invader, and to this observer, that seems likely to be a forlorn hope, at best.
To paraphrase the late Muhammad Ali, ‘I Ain’t Got No Quarrel With Them
Vietcong Russkis’.
Those of you courageous souls on JPP who still feel differently huddled behind your keyboards are, of course, free to fly to Europe and get involved as a private citizen.
But Not In My Name.
