LOS ANGELES.–Producing another fake poll that shows him with 63% approval ratings, 47-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky’s continues to demand NATO membership, making a phony statement that he would step down in exchange for membership. Zelensky has been told that NATO membership is a deal breaker for 72-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin but, besides that, NATO told him on numerous occasions he doesn’t qualify for NATO membership. Raising NATO membership is a direct slap in the face to 78-year-old President Donald Trump who’s doing his best to end the war to stop the destruction of Ukraine. “If [it means] peace for Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, I am ready,” and agitated Zelensky told a reporter. Bringing up NATO membership in exchange for leaving his post is preposterous, another disinformation game by Zelensky.
Zelensky continues to attack Trump, presenting the new fake poll showing him with a 63% approval rating, only a week after the other fake poll showed him at 57%. Zelensky responded to Trump saying he was a “no election dictator” with a 4% approval rating, not sure where Trump got that number. But Zelensky is determined to make Trump look bad to his European allies, hoping he can persuade the EU to pay for the Ukraine War. “I can exchange this for NATO [membership], if that condition is there, immediately,” Zelensky said, in another non sequitur. NATO never asked him to resign as if he was the stumbling block to NATO membership. When it comes to peace talks, NATO membership is a non-starter for Putin and the Kremlin. Zelensky was told by former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg that he can’t doesn’t qualify for NATO membership.
Zelensky latest PR offensive is directly related to Trump, trying to win himself backing in the EU. Zelensky thinks if he can turn the EU against Trump, they’ll be willing to fund his proxy war against the Russian Federation. No EU country, certainly not Brussels, is willing to fund his war with the Kremlin. Former President Joe Biden, 82, foolishly took on the failed project of war with the Kremlin. Biden was the first-and-only post WW II president to go to war with the Kremlin, ending decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control. Biden backed Ukraine’s war with the Kremlin at great cost to U.S. foreign policy and national security. Russia was a global strategic partner with the United States, working of various hot spots around the global, solving world problems to together. Biden decision to fund war against the Kremlin turned Russia into a mortal enemy.
Zelensky is a clever propagandist together with his communication team that’s worked feverishly recently to discredit Trump to the European Union. Zelensky’s message is simple: Trump has sold out Ukraine to Russia. Some EU officials have been duped by Zelensky, not realizing that no one in the EU is capable of negotiating peace with the Kremlin other than Trump. EU officials have listened to Zelensky blame Trump for negotiating a one-sided deal that favors the Russian Federation. In Zelensky’s mind, he spent three years of war with the Kremlin destroying much of his nation, losing 25% of Ukraine’s most choice sovereign territory, and now wants it all back. His ideas for peace are unrealistic but counterproductive, knowing that peace would never happen. Zelensky was horrified at the prospects of Trump normalizing U.S.-Russian relations.
What did Zelensky think Trump would do about the Ukraine War. He told the nation and world his intent during the 2024 campaign that he would end the “ridiculous” war as the top priority of business for his administration. So, why the surprise now that Trump’s been criticized by the U.S. press for not ending the war sooner. Trump actually promised to end the war in 24 hours of taking office, something proving a bit optimistic. But Trump wanted to make the point in the campaign that the war could be easily ended. Trump’s recent talks with Putin and follow-up talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia show that he’s close to ending the war. Zelensky fears a loss of war funding, taking billions from the U.S. to pay for his bankrupt Kiev government are war with the Kremlin. Suddenly, Zelensky says he’s willing to sacrifice his job for NATO membership, knowing it’s not possible.
Whatever poll Ukraine released today it’s completely phony, all designed to slap Trump in the face. Zelensky said Trump lives in a Russian “disinformation space,” the same message given by Hillary back in 2016 when her fake Steele Dossier accused Trump of Russian collusion. Trump has done everything possible to end the Ukraine War with Zelensky, predictably, going kicking-and-screaming. Zelensky knows he declared war on the Kremlin Feb. 24, 2022 the date Putin moved 200,000 troops into Ukrainian territory. Putin was provoked by Zelensky’s insistence on NATO membership, but, more importantly, on getting armed to the teeth by Biden. Biden was told for months before the invasion that he had to stop arming Ukraine or he Putin would be forced to take a “special military operation” to stop it. Biden didn’t listen, continued arming Ukraine and the war started.
