Ordinarily, we try to keep this family rated, but not today.
I’m borrowing a page from prominent Democrat politicians and operatives, who proudly gather in public to proclaim FUCx Trump, or FUCx Musk, and so I say FUCx Zelenskyy.
This arrogant shrimp had the gall to use the oval office Friday afternoon as a cheap soap box to vent his frustrations that many of his confidants had warned him – unsuccessfully, obviously — to check at the door.
Zelenskyy is proof that big things – his ego – can come in small packages – his stature.
And the rumors are flying as to why Zelenskyy, who showed up ostensibly to sign a rare earths mining deal with the United States as a prelude to repaying some of the $200 or so billion we’ve gifted his country, not to mention as a first step in ending the war with Russia, went off-script.
Even as Russia first invaded Ukraine years back, many in this nation, including some of my neighbors, rushed to show support with tiny Ukraine flags. I was withholding endorsement of Zelenskyy. I knew his was a nation with a significant Nazi presence, a land of religious persecution, and a boiling pot of corruption.
The Bidens were in that Ukraine morass up to their elbows.
Don’t take my word for the corruption angle, as Zelenskyy went on a rehabilitation tour on Fox News Friday night following his dustup with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the Oval Office, the subject came up of accounting for all the U.S. military aid that has gone to Ukraine.
All could be detailed, Zelenskyy insisted, and digitally, he added.
Funny, way back in January 2024, Ukraine’s defense minister revealed an audit had uncovered about $262 million in military corruption, just in the four months the guy had been on the job.
Multiply that by nine or so to account for three years of war aid, and it’s quite a lot of U.S. taxpayer dollars lost in the Ukrainian couch cushions.
Remember, too, that Zelenskyy is the guy who found time and money to do Vogue photo shoots, along with his wife, during the ongoing war that is killing a lot of his countrymen and devastating the country.
Ukraine can’t win this war with Russia, most knowledgeable observers recognize, and even this pipsqueak egomaniac admitted things would not go well without continuing U.S. support.
So, how does Zelenskyy go about guaranteeing such support? He shows up and insults Trump, Vance and America in general.
Trump and Vance delivered a severe verbal beating and ordered Zelenskyy out of the White House. I applaud them.
Democrats, whose cultist members make them the party of illegal immigrants, trans athletes and protecting criminals, rushed to the nearest microphone to blast Trump and Vance.
And a who’s who list of European elites were on social media, backing Zelenskyy.
Said one Fox panelist to those armchair warriors, great, now get out your checkbook and start showing your support with money.
Ah, there’s the rub. Europeans have been counting on our nation to bail out their socialist asses for more than 100 years. From two World Wars which, without our intervention, would have had the whole continent speaking German, to us beating back the former Soviet Union to win the Cold War for them, U.S. money has been the blood that keeps the European heart beating.
Trump has been pointing out to these deadbeats, both during his first term and again in recent weeks, it’s time for them to start paying their fair share of defense. It’s the same with our 51st state, Canada.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer was at the White House earlier this week admitting Trump was correct about this defense thing, and pledging to spend a few Pounds Sterling more. Actually, I’m not sure he actually gave an exact number.
To his everlasting credit, Starmer dodged a question of whether his armed forces could take on Russia, without U.S. help, and win. I’ll answer it for him. No freaking way!
So, European elitists, who are butt hurt after Vance called them out recently regarding their attacks on free speech and limited spending for their own defense, perhaps gave Zelenskyy the word that this would be a good time to attack Trump and embarrass him in front of the media.
These tone-deaf, arrogant types again misread the room. This would have worked against Clueless Joe, even though there were numerous media reports he had upbraided Zelenskyy privately on a phone call a few years back for a lack of gratitude.
The difference is Trump and Vance called out Zelenskyy on that lack of gratitude immediately and in public. The little dictator, and his friends in the European elite must have been stunned.
I know the Ukrainian ambassador became a viral figure as she held her head in apparent stunned dismay over what was transpiring.
This was a chance for the public to see what diplomats like to call euphemistically “a frank and open exchange.”
Zelenskyy had a chance to initiate a peace plan and he blew it by symbolically urinating on the carpet.
And, for all the Democrats now wagging their tongues, where have you people been? What’s your peace plan? I guess you were too busy propping up the cadaver of Clueless Joe and trying to gaslight the public that he was fit for office.
Remember, Zelenskyy made what seemed to be a political endorsement of Democrats in the past presidential campaign when he traveled to Pennsylvania – on a U.S. Air Force plane – to tour a munitions plant while on the arm of Democratic Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. Zelenskyy also took shots at Vance in a magazine interview at around that time.
Vance mentioned this affront during the Oval Office give and take today.
Warmongering Neocon Republicans joined in the trashing of Trump for calling out Zelenskyy. But, notably, Lindsey Graham, a Republican who has been quite the Zelenskyy apologist, said he had warned his little protege specifically not to venture down tangents during the meeting, just talk the minerals deal. Now, Graham is talking about a Zelenskyy resignation for having torpedoed peace chances.
This just in, Lindsey, egomaniacs don’t take advice.
I like Trump’s warning to Zelenskyy, either you want peace or you’re on your own against the Russian bear, and good luck on that front.
If Zelenskyy is counting on all those European allies to come through with real help, he’s even more immature and naive than today’s petulant child act makes him seem.
