LOS ANGELES.–Joining 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House for a press conference, 46-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr unofficially joined the Kamala campaign knowing she would continue as president the Ukraine War policy of 81-year-old President Joe Biden. Kamala talked at the press conference over the U.S. obligation to Ukraine to confront brutal dictators like 71-year-old President Vladimir Putin. Kamala made her policy clear that she would continue to empty the U.S. Treasury on Ukraine until Putin decides to nuke Kiev, something that could happen if Ukraine uses U.S. long-range missiles to strike deep inside the Russian Federation. Putin has said clearly that attempts to attack Russian territory with U.S. or NATO long-range weapons would be an act of war that could trigger the Kremlin’s first-strike nuclear protocol
Zelensky has said that Putin is using nuclear blackmail to discourage more U.S. aid to Ukraine. But the real issue for Putin is how long-range weapons supplied by the U.S., U.K. and NATO would be used against Russia. Zelensky keeps his Ukraine War propaganda offensive knowing that Kamala is politically stuck with the policy. Zelensky also knows that Kamala’s rival for the 2024 election has promised to end the war at the earliest possible time. After nearly three years of war, Trump believes that Ukraine War endangers Europe and U.S. national security, pushing the world closer to the brink. Biden and Harris don’t want to admit complete failure in their Ukraine War strategy. Not only have they brought the world closer to WW III and nuclear war, they have destroyed U.S.-Russian relations for the foreseeable future, ending decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control.
Zelensky now says that Putin is threatening Ukraine and its allies with nuclear strikes, expecting NATO to intervene on Ukraine’s behalf. But NATO’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has made clear that Ukraine won’t be fast-tracked into NATO membership, mainly because NATO doesn’t want war with the Kremlin. But Ukraine doesn’t meet NATO standards about fiscal solvency and democrat institutions with the country in martial law, suspending all elections for the indefinite future. Zelensky’s meetings with Biden and Kamala are all about joining the Kamala campaign to defeat Trump anyway possible because Trump would end the war and stop Zelensky’s gravy train at taxpayer’s expense. U.S. voters don’t buy Biden, Kamala and Zelensky’s propaganda that war with Russia prevents a Russian invasion of Europe. There are no facts to support that wild speculation.
Joining the Kamala campaign has irked Republican members of Congress, though not realizing that it actually hurts Kamala’s chances Nov. 5. No working American cares about Ukraine, they care about staying solvent at a time of financial hardship. Inflation has not ended because the Federal Reserve Board slashed interest rates 50 basis points Sept. 18. Ordinary citizens are struggling to pay bills with incomes not keeping pace with inflation. So, no matter how Zelensky tries to affect the vote, he has little sway with ordinary voters more concerned about pocket book issues than war overseas. Zelensky walks a fine line but can’t hide himself from backing Joe and Kamala’s talking points that the U.S. must continue to battle Putin or he’ll start taking over European countries. Zelensky knows that to keep U.S. cash flowing into his bankrupt government, he must keep the war going.
Zelensky now warns about Putin preparing a nuclear strike while he simultaneously asks Biden for permission to strike at military targets in Russia. What does Zelensky think is causing Putin to warn the West to back off allowing Zelensky to use U.S., U.K. and NATO weapons to strike deep inside Russia? Putin and his 74-year-old Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have served notice to the West that any threat on the Russian homeland could trigger Russia’s first-strike nuclear doctrine to prevent an attack on the Russian state. Zelensky has pushed for NATO membership since before the Feb. 24, 2022 Ukraine invasion, provoking Putin into taking military steps to stop the U.S. from arming Ukraine. Biden and former President Barack Obama have been arming Ukraine since March 1, 2014 when Putin annexed Crimea. Zelensky continues to dare Putin to use nukes on Kiev.
Zelensky can’t hide his support of the Kamala campaign knowing she would continue to support Biden’s black check Ukraine War policy. After nearly three years of war, Biden has never put pressure on Zelensky to go to the peace table with Putin and resolve the conflict. Zelensky thinks continuing to battle Russia gives him more leverage at any future peace talks, like recent peace talks without Russia in Lucerne, Switzerland. Putin has said that Russia would not attend any future peace talks if Ukraine continues to occupy the Kurst border region of Russia. Zelensky ordered 10,000 Ukrainian troops to invade Russian Aug. 6 hoping it would pressure Russia into getting out of Ukraine. Putin has demanded now that any future peace talks would require Ukrainian troops to get out of the Kurst region. Zelensky thinks Biden and Kamala rubber stamp his future Kremlin war plans.
