Ukraine’s 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensly’s many lies were exposed today for all to see when a Russian Missile struck 18th Century Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral in Odesa. Today’s missile strike exposes all the fake reporting by Zelensky’s chief propagandist Kyrylo Buadanov saying Ukraine’s missile defenses shoot down all Russia’s incoming missiles and drones, utter rubbish, yet that’s what gets reported in the U.S. and Western press. Zelensky has manipulated the news for the last 18 months, telling the public how the Russian army has failed, something repeated only recently by 80-year-old President Joe Biden. Biden said July 18 that 70-year old Russian President Vladimir Putin has lost the war. Biden’s proxy war using Ukrainian troops has bankrupted and destroyed Ukraine. Telling the world Putin has lost the war makes a bad situation worse for Ukraine.
Zelenksy has insisted that all the U.S. and NATO air defenses have prevented Putin from winning the war, lying about the extent of daily carnage and destruction to a wide swath of Ukrainian villages, towns and cities. After 18 months of war, Putin controls some 25% of Ukraine’s sovereign territory, all because Zelensky and Biden refused to negotiate as ceasefire and peace talks. Zelensky and Biden keep insisting that Putin suffers from a terminal illness, or, more recently, Alszheimers disease, complete rubbish, all to justify continuing the war, costing the U.S. over $100 billion, climbing everyday. Putin controls most of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, making it difficult for Ukraine to run its economy, leaving Kiev bankrupt. Without U.S. government largess, Ukraine would not be able to pay its civil servants, including Zelensky’s lavish salary, something a closely guarded secret.
Today’s missile strike on Transfiguration Cathedraal proves that the Ukraine War has taken a heavy toll on Ukraine, something denied by Zelensky and Budanov. If you listen to the daily propaganda in Kiev and Washington, you’d think an active coup, started by Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group was close to toppling Putin. Zelensky and Budanov try desperately to control the narrative, all lies about Ukraine’s progress in the war. Zelensky fears that if the West really knew the lack of progress on the counteroffensive they would cut his funding. Telling the U.S. and NATO the couonteroffensive only recently began is also utter rubbish. Zelensky started the counteroffensive months ago but was making almost no progress, other that touting insignificant territorial gains. Zelsnksy lied about the counteroffensive because he knew it wasn’t working.
Kiev and Washington have painted a fake picture in Ukraine, saying Putin suffers from terminal illness or currently faces an active coup that will eventually topple his government. U.S. chief smoke blower 67-year-old CIA Director William Burns, spews more propaganda now that he’s been elevated by Biden to a Cabine-level post. Burns thinks the war is won by propaganda but today’s attack on the Odesa cathedral proves the Kiev and U.S. narrative about Ukraine’s impenetrable air defense is all fake. Biden stated July 18 that Putin has lost the war was the same rubbish Obama and Biden spewed in Syria when they said they would topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. How did Obama and Biden’s proxy war in Syria work out? Five hundred thousand killed, 15 million more in exile. Biden now makes the same mistake starting a proxy war with the Russian Federation.
When you think about it how could Biden possibly think he’s going to take down Putin? Obama and Biden were beaten by Putin in Syria and they’re taking more of beating in Ukraine. Only propagandists like Budanov and Burns tell the obedient press that the U.S. is winning the war. Where was Burns when Obama and Biden paid billions to fight the Syrian proxy war and were defeated by Putin? Burns was unemployed, sitting on the sidelines watching Putin hand Obama and Biden a brutal defeat in Syria. Now Burns is Biden’s mouthpiece, weakening the credibility of the CIA, whose recent years have been spent going after former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign with former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s fake Steele dossier. Burns’, once removed predecessor, 68-yar-old CIA Director John Brennan, gave Hillary’s dossier to 62-year-old former FBI Director James Comey.
Members of Congress should look carefully at Odesa where Ukraine’s vaunted air defenses failed to stop another incoming Russian missile, this time demolishing Odesa’s Transfiguration Cathedral. Biden and Zelensky have lied about the counteroffensive, pretending they’re beating the Russian Federation. Obama and Biden lost to Putin in Syrian, and are losing badly again in Ukraine. Choosing war over ceasefire and peace talks, Zelensky and Biden pretend to the world that they’re winning in Ukraine. Ukraine has been bombed into the Stone Age by Putin who can outlast the West with all the claptrap from Kiev and Washington about Putin’s imminent demise. Today’s missile strike tells a very different story from the prevailing narrative that Ukraine has won the war. U.S. officials must decide how much more cash they’re willing to throw down a rat hole in Ukraine.
