Foreign Election Interference: Democrats Airlift Ukranian Dictator Zelensky to Campaign for Kamala Harris and the Chinese Communist Agent Tim Walz

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy flew into a key U.S. swing state this week on a taxpayer-funded aircraft after publicly criticizing former President Donald Trump and Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.
Zelenskyy touched down in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Sunday in a U.S. Air Force C-17A aircraft and toured a local munitions factory that has been producing armaments for Ukraine amid the country's ongoing war against Russia. During his visit, Zelenskyy met with high-level Democratic Pennsylvania officials such as Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Matt Cartwright and expressed his gratitude "for their support."
Prior to his trip to the U.S., Zelenskyy spoke to The New Yorker and claimed Trump doesn't "really know how to stop the war."
"Trump makes political statements in his election campaign. He says he wants the war to stop. Well, we do, too.... My feeling is that Trump doesn't really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how," Zelenskyy told The New Yorker in the interview published Sunday, noting that he was appreciative that Trump has expressed his support. "With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand. I've seen many leaders who were convinced they knew how to end it tomorrow, and as they waded deeper into it, they realized it's not that simple."
Zelenskyy was even more critical of Vance to The New Yorker, referring to him as "too radical." In an interview with the Shawn Ryan show in mid-September, Vance recently proposed a peace deal where Russia retains the territory it has seized so that a demilitarized zone could be established along the current battle lines.
The demilitarized zone would need to be "heavily fortified so the Russians don't invade again," Vance said at the time. Such a deal could also involve the provision that Ukraine doesn't join NATO to guarantee neutrality with Russia.
"This would be an awful idea, if a person were actually going to carry it out," Zelenskyy told The New Yorker. "But there's certainly no way this could ever happen... And it wouldn't necessarily end the war, either. It's just sloganeering."
Zelenskyy went on to say that Vance's ideas are "dangerous signals," and accepting such a deal would risk other American interests abroad, such as in the Middle East and Taiwan. He further went on to hint that Vance, if elected, "should be held responsible for potentially starting a global war" if his ideas are put into practice.
"Whichever President or Vice-President raises this prospect -- that ending the war hinges on cementing the status quo, with Ukraine simply giving up its land--should be held responsible for potentially starting a global war," Zelenskyy told The New Yorker. "I don't take Vance's words seriously, because, if this were a plan, then America is headed for global conflict. It will involve Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Taiwan, China, as well as many African countries."

The Biden-Harris Administration took taxpayer funds to pay for this foreign election interference effort?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Sunday to tour a munitions plant manufacturing shells for Ukraine's war effort. The trip, which used a taxpayer-funded U.S. military plane, drew sharp criticism from Republicans, with House Republican Chairwoman Elise Stefanik accusing Zelensky of using the visit to campaign for Democrats in a key swing state, calling it an "abuse of taxpayer funds."
Key Details:
Zelensky's visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant was part of his U.S. trip to thank workers producing 155mm artillery shells used by Ukrainian forces.
Pennsylvania Democrats like Gov. Josh Shapiro and vulnerable Sen. Bob Casey accompanied him during the tour, sparking claims from Republicans that the visit was politically timed to boost Democrats ahead of the November election.
"It's a clear misuse of taxpayer funds," Stefanik said, accusing Zelensky of "propping up Democrats" in President Biden's home state, where Casey is in a tight reelection race against Republican Dave McCormick. Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt echoed these concerns, stating Zelensky was "openly campaigning for Democrats" by appearing with key Democratic officials in a highly contested state.

Via Instapundit: this observation from the American Thinker.

President Trump was nearly murdered a mere week ago by a dirtbag who proclaimed a fanatical devotion to Ukraine's war. Now Zelensky has turned up to try to knock President Trump out another way? He should sit this one out.

Well, my mind's made up. The American media went from sixty years of Soviet Union/apologism to basically agitating for World War Three over some hacked emails and $150,000 in FaceBook ads.

My feelings about Ukraine had been conflicted. I didn't like the fact that this country was interfering in US politics by paying off Biden family members and getting Biden to demand the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor in return. But I really hated Russia. And I couldn't really blame the Ukrainians for participating in Democrat Party corruption -- this is the US's fault, at heart. We allow this party to shop around the world for foreign donors.

Also, I'd known some Ukrainians. One of the first Reagan-loving Republicans I knew was a Ukrainian immigrant. He preached Reagan when I was, get this, a liberal.

But now my feelings are resolved: Russia can have Ukraine, in full. The left turned its back on its historic ally the Soviet Union over a very fake "election interference" campaign; I will do the same over a very real one.

I have a preference that Ukraine not be politically interfered with by foreigners, but my much, much, stronger insistence is that the US not be politically interfered with by foreigners.

F*** Ukraine.

The United States provoked and prolonged this war so the Ukraine could be raped and plundered from both directions. Poland should remember it has seen this movie before.

Any chance the Republican House and the GOP senators cut off funding? Not even a little one. They get crumbs from the people they actually represent, and they are still running the rape train.

The comparison doesn't really work. Vietnam was the US trying to clean up the mess that France left during the Cold War when Soviet expansion was a very real thing. Further, the failure of Vietnam was a failure of understand the war; it wasn't a set piece battle extension of WWII that the US planners thought it was.

Everyone should read "Learning To Eat Soup With A Knife" It explains what an utter CF the US planning was.

The only comparison maybe in that the average Viet didn't care who ran the country and we insisted we knew better.

78 I believe in Ukraine for Ukrainians, and it's evil of Putin to take it back just because he sees it as Russian holy land with a lot of material riches, and a way to regain some USSR glory.
______

Ukraine east of the Donbass is largely ethnic Russian. The borders were drawn up by Kruschev (IIRC) without any particular regard for any possible consequences, it was the USSR after all and every one was the glorious new Sovier man and unburdened by what has been with regard to ethnic background. My preference would have been that Ukraine treated all their citizens equally and that the ethnic Russians in the Donbass didn't agitate (or feel the need to) agitate for autonomy or return of the Donabass to Russia. But that ship has sailed.

79 If Ukraine fires missiles into Russia, all bets are off. Putin has said as much. He considers all of this foreign attacks.

There is no doubt the dirt that both sides have on each other is enough to build a mountain the the moon but the power in this relationship has always emanated from DC.

There's little doubt in my mind that much if not most of the blinding hate toward Trump from the uniparty and the deep state that started with the Russia hoax is over the Ukraine issue which is the cornerstone of a much larger foreign policy goal. Ukraine is an important pawn but our bad guys are running the show.

81 Archer: "The Ukrainian war would never have happened without successive US administration's pushing NATO membership to countries that border Russia. NATO membership of Ukraine was a red line to Russia."

I think that's a pretty good synopsis of the genesis. I'm sure it's a lot longer in developing and lots of nuance layered with competing interests, but fundamentally, that was the contemporary trigger.

88 There is the "we are the (evil) conquistadors" versus the "We must remain the global superpower" lines of thought.

I'd like US to remain the global power, but align with nations that push liberty, not slavery/communism. We would provide a lot of intel and other support, but free nations provide the on the ground forces.

This is still (mostly) true in Israel, but Ukraine was more a war of aggression, chosen by US pushing Ukraine into the NATO thang. And because of evil globalists, we have India and Russia aligning more with China ... and other countries in South America.

It seems to me our globalists want to destroy American (and Western) Liberties First, then maybe they have some plan, idk. But they really hate "US" the most, for daring to challenge Their Hegemony. ("They" being the oligarchs/plutocrats, whatever pagan egomaniacs are partaking).

The left was in love with Russia all the way through the 2012 election (see Obama's hot mic comment about having more flexibility after the election to the Russian government official). It wasn't until after the 2012 election that the anti-Russian articles were coming out (and even before Trump through his hat in the ring). I think the powers that follow the WEF (Western Europe, US, and the like) and are all on board with the Great Reset/New World Order/"You will own nothing and be happy" invited Russia to the party, and Putin gave them a big fat Nyet (As a side not, I think China says they're in, but are just waiting for the west to slit their own throat and take over). Ever since then, the western powers have antagonized Russia through the means of Ukraine (who said tak to the WEF) ever since, to the point of trying to spark WWIII.

Poland, Hungary, and Romania will grab chunks of the western part that are ethnically part of their people.

The remaining country of "Ukraine" centered around Kiev, containing ethnic Ukrainians, will be about the size of Ohio.

Kamala's campaign is using fake news headlines from a liberal dark money funded organization that does political work on behalf of Democrats by operating phony news outlets.

Here's how Soros funded propaganda moves in real time:

Earlier today, Kamala HQ and Kamala Wins posted a headline earlier claiming that the Polish Community in PA supposedly endorsed her. But it turned out to just be a letter that was written by a bunch of partisan Democrat politicians.

The letter was published by some news outlet called "Keystone Newsroom." It sounds like a local PA media outlet. But in reality, it's part of Courier Newsroom, which is a Democrat dark money funded media project founded by Democrat operatives that operates websites claiming to be news outlets in key swing states.

The idea is to make them seem like non-partisan local outlets when in reality they exist to give glowing coverage to Democrats.

In addition, Courier Newsroom also spends millions of dollars on targeted ads on social media and doesn't have to register with the FEC as a political group even though their explicit purpose is to elect Democrats.

George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and other liberal billionaires all fund Courier Newsroom. They are doing blatant political activities on behalf of Democrats while registered as a tax exempt organization.

Should be an FEC violation.

163 >>A significant clue was when Vindman complained that Trump was going against 'our policy'. When someone other than the president directs foreign policy, we have a problem.

That was a clue alright. Also impeaching Trump over a harmless phone call to Ukraine. Also the fact that the fake dirt that took down Manafort along with a lot of the fake dirt that almost took down Trump came from Ukraine. And on and on.

During McCain's funeral, the first one, he had a very interesting person attended, Petro Poroshenko the former president of Ukraine. McCain was the point person in Congress working with Biden to rebuild Ukraine after we ran the 2014 color revolution. Shockingly, McCain also was one of the people given the fake Steele dossier that he then handed to the FBI.

Oh and long before Steele was writing fake dossiers to take down opponents of the US foreign policy in Ukraine, he was writing intelligence reports for the US State Department. On Ukraine.

164 IRONGRAMPA: "Ukraine has been the beneficiary of NATO training and they've paid attention, it shows."

I think it has more to do with Ukranian ability to adapt in asymmetric warfare. It's revolutionary and the US had better take note.

The Soviets remain mired in old war tactics. Ukraine hasn't - and I guess NATO could have been their encyclopedia, I dunno - but the relatively resource light Ukraine has used tech and drone warfare like no one before. Extremely cost-effective and very powerful against fixed heavy assets. Their rate of attrition is much lower than Russia's.

I'm almost thinking that had "we" not helped subsidize Russian aggression with "our" energy policy (and especially the Europeans'), Putin wouldn't have the bank account to sustain this war.

I also believe in protecting America. And the Ukraine war has become Vietnam 2.0 ; everything the dems hated about Vietnam makes them salivate when it's about Ukraine. We can't destroy our country over this. It's immoral.

185 >>Because Ukraine is where legislator campaign cash from all over the world is laundered, starched, and folded.

Always has been. The owner of Burisma also used to own a bank called PrivatBank. It was THE go to source for international money laundering in Ukraine. In fact, it's where much of the money that went to the Biden crime family from Burisma flowed from.

One of the last things Biden did before Trump took office was to tell the Ukrainians to have the government takeover PrivatBank so Trump would be unable to access the records.

The CIA, Soros and other US agencies ran the 2014 color revolution in Ukraine that toppled a duly elected government that was steering toward Russia and away from NATO and installed a pro-western government. We weren't about to give that up to Europeans. The CIA has been running it ever since. Putin knows this. It's why he took Crimea and it's why the people in the Donbas wanted closer ties to Russia. They are mostly ethnic Russian.

Then Trump came into office and Ukraine completely fell out of the news for most of the next 4 years. Biden fixed that with his push for NATO membership and here we are.

196 Weft, my comparison of the Ukraine war to Vietnam is less an apples to apples comparison, and more of using the left's moral argument about war against them. (If it's far too simplistic, well, that's the left for you.)

It's not our war to fight, even if it's to preserve "democracy" around the world
Lack of clear victory
Escalating cost of the war
War is bad and we need to be doves, not eagles

The moral reasons they screamed for having us pull out of Vietnam, the left has used the opposite to justify staying in Ukraine. Three major differences are that we don't have a draft for it of our own people--yet--the media hasn't soured on the war yet, and the congressional purse hasn't soured on it yet. The latter two I don't know if they ever will. They seem to get off on it.

248 “The CIA has been running it ever since. Putin knows this. It's why he took Crimea and it's why the people in the Donbas wanted closer ties to Russia. They are mostly ethnic Russian.”

You left out a few things. The Russians have also been meddling in Ukraine for a long time. The government was turning towards Russia because the KGB was more successful than the Agency. The Agency basically intervened to take that victory away from the Russians. Just as dubious and undemocratic. Russia did all of this to ensure that Ukraine didn’t move towards NATO. That was just a security issues, it’s that Putin is an asshole who had large territorial ambitions. He used those ambitions which he sold to the Russian people as restoring mother Russia. Are both sides to blame for this? You bet they are and the whole thing is corrupt and insidious. I don’t support the war, but no matter what you hear it’s bleeding Russia and right now it’s a stalemate and war of attrition. By the way, the Putin Russians aren’t our friends at all.

Russia did invade Georgia, right after the NATO 2009 Bucharest Summit where W first broached the idea of inviting both Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO.

Didn't get all that much attention in western media, shockingly.

263 US interests are most of my framework for issues like this, and any serious (as opposed to inertial, or stupid) approach proceeding on that basis would have produced radically different approaches to Europe and NATO starting in the 90s.

Of course now, when foreign policy is in the hands of toxic clowns, and typically discussed in terms with little relation to reality by people mired in the past or simply clueless, hard to know where to start.

People have no idea about the many things Putin was doing to undermine our country. He was trying to break the status quo which has kept the peace for a long time. One good thing about the war is that op has taken a back seat. He can fly all the bomber missions he wants with China. There are a lot of people around Putin who see that relationship as dangerous and damaging to Russian pride and sovereignty- and they’re right.

They have to back it with something. With the exception of huge swings as the Ukrainian war started, its sinking against the dollar.

Putin has forever wanted to reinstitute the Soviet footprint. He has typically found ways to create support against a standing government, find a reason to inflame it and come to the rescue. Did it in Georgia. Was doing it in Ukraine, is currently trying to do it in Moldova. The trouble in Ukraine is delaying that. NATO promises based upon Russian problems. No good guys here.
