VDH: Zelenskyy Still Seems to Believe That the Globalists Are Still in Power in the US

Ten takeaways from Cruelty Appreciator Victor Davis Hanson:


Victor Davis Hanson
@VDHanson

Ten bad takeaways from the Zelenskyy blow-up

1. Zelenskyy does not grasp--or deliberately ignores--the bitter truth: those with whom he feels most affinity (Western globalists, the American Left, the Europeans) have little power in 2025 to help him. And those with whom he obviously does not like or seeks to embarrass (cf. his Scranton, Penn. campaign-like visit in September 2024) alone have the power to save him. For his own sake, I hope he is not being "briefed" by the Obama-Clinton-Biden gang to confront Trump, given their interests are not really Ukraine's as they feign.

2. Zelenskyy acts as if his agendas and ours are identical. So, he keeps insisting that he is fighting for us despite our two-ocean-distance that he mocks. We do have many shared interests with Ukraine, but not all by any means: Trump wants to "reset" with Russia and triangulate it against China. He seeks to avoid a 1962 DEFCON 2-like crisis over a proxy showdown in proximity to a nuclear rival. And he sincerely wants to end the deadlocked Stalingrad slaughterhouse for everyone's sake.

3. The Europeans (and Canada) are now talking loudly of a new muscular antithesis, independent of the U.S. Promises, promises--given that would require Europeans to prune back their social welfare state, frack, use nuclear, stop the green obsessions, and spend 3-5 percent of their GDP on defense. The U.S. does not just pay 16 percent of NATO's budget but also puts up with asymmetrical tariffs that result in a European Union trade surplus of $160 billion, plays the world cop patrolling sea-lanes and deterring terrorists and rogues states that otherwise might interrupt Europe's commercial networks abroad, as well as de facto including Europe under a nuclear umbrella of 6,500 nukes.

4. Zelenskyy must know that all of the once deal-stopping issues to peace have been de facto settled: Ukraine is now better armed than most NATO nations, but will not be in NATO; and no president has or will ever supply Ukraine with the armed wherewithal to take back the Donbass and Crimea. So, the only two issues are a) how far will Putin be willing to withdraw to his 2022 borders and b) how will he be deterred? The first is answered by a commercial sector/tripwire, joint Ukrainian-US-Europe resource development corridor in Eastern Ukraine, coupled with a Korea-like DMZ; the second by the fact that Putin unlike his 2008 and 2014 invasions has now lost a million dead and wounded to a Ukraine that will remain thusly armed.

5. What are Zelenskyy's alternatives without much U.S. help--wait for a return of the Democrats to the White House in four years? Hope for a rearmed Europe? Pray for a Democratic House and a 3rd Vindman-like engineered Trump impeachment? Or swallow his pride, return to the White House, sign the rare-earth minerals deal, invite in the Euros (are they seriously willing to patrol a DMZ?), and hope Trump can warn Putin, as he did successfully between 2017-21, not to dare try it again?

6. If there is a cease fire, a commercial deal, a Euro ground presence, and influx of Western companies into Ukraine, would there be elections? And if so, would Zelenskyy and his party win? And if not, would there be a successor transparent government that would reveal exactly where all the Western financial aid money went?

7. Zelenskyy might see a model in Netanyahu. The Biden Administration was far harder on him than Trump is on Ukraine: suspending arms shipments, demanding cease-fires, prodding for a wartime, bipartisan cabinet, hammering Israel on collateral damage--none of which Westerners have demanded of Zelenskyy. Yet Netanyahu managed a hostile Biden, kept Israel close to its patron, and when visiting was gracious to his host. Netanyahu certainly would never before the global media have interrupted, and berated a host and patron president in the White House.

8. If Ukraine has alienated the U.S. what then is its strategic victory plan? Wait around for more Euros? Hold off an increasingly invigorated Russian military? Cede more territory? What, then, exactly are Zelenskyy's cards he seems to think are a winning hand?

9. If one views carefully all the 50-minute tape, most of it was going quite well--until Zelenskyy started correcting Vance firstly, and Trump secondly. By Ukraine-splaining to his hosts, and by his gestures, tone, and interruptions, he made it clear that he assumed that Trump was just more of the same compliant, clueless moneybags Biden waxen effigy. And that was naïve for such a supposedly worldly leader.

10. March 2025 is not March 2022, after the heroic saving of Kyiv--but three years and 1.5 million dead and wounded later. Zelenskyy is no longer the international heartthrob with the glamorous entourage. He has postponed elections, outlawed opposition media and parties, suspended habeas corpus and walked out of negotiations when he had an even hand in Spring 2022 and apparently even now when he does not in Spring 2025.

Quo vadis, Volodymyr?

Again, sorry for the light blogging. I'm a little sick, and I made it worse by taking Afrin a couple of hours before bedtime. Afrin is a serious stimulant and kept me up until 4am. I knew it was a stimulant (I've made this mistake before) but I thought, wrongly, that it would wear off if I took it two hours before bed.

I'm sure they told him that they were.

And it remains to be seen whether they were right or not.

They are certainly scheming behind the scenes and they certainly control most of the levers of real power in DC.

I don't know if any President can truly win in a war against the Deep State, but Trump 2.0 is the best chance we've had in my lifetime. Interesting times...

The thing about Europeans is that they are very susceptible to propaganda.

At least, they'll repeat it endlessly and sneeringly. But when push comes to shove ... I don't think the Muslim men who make up a large portion of fighting age men in Germany, for example, are going to be so keen on dying for Ukraine.

Nor do I think there will be too many Hans and Helmuts signing up either.

No, this is all about trying to embarrass the Americans in to fighting the war / setting up a DMZ / whatever.

So the grift can keep flowing to the griftees until they find their next target.

It always feels like it's going to be Iran, but then it pivots. Maybe Taiwan? Or somewhere more exotic like Myanmar? We'll see, we'll see.

76 At this point, I'd rather see Russia swallow up all of Ukraine and shit it back out as some kind of Russian client state.

I think we have a better chance of cutting a deal with Putin and Russia (and Russia-controlled Ukraine) than we do with this Zelensky prick cocksucker Boris-and-Natasha wannabe.

Plus, Ukraine is dingleberryous pissantry. It's a pimple on Lizzo's ass. Russia is 10x more important, strategically and politically. The more we alienate Russia, the closer Russia gets to China. We don't want that.

Putin is a bad guy. So what? So are 90% of European leaders, so is Zelensky, and all of them are oppressing their people at least as much as Putin is.

Grabbed from another thread: Feb. 19th, Economist Jeffrey Sachs was in front of the European Union giving a "Can Trump End The Ukraine-Russian War" speech. (For one, YouTube, Economic Times, Jeffrey Sachs' roaring speech at EU Parliament, schools US Europe over Ukraine war.) In part, "Professor Sachs warned the audience, 'To be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal,' and urged Europe to have a 'real' and independent foreign policy - 'A foreign policy that is realistic, that understands Russia's situation, that understands Europe's situation, and that understands what America is and what it stands for.'

Among other comments, Sachs also said China is not an enemy, China is just a success story.

That's now a CodePink project. (Facebook dot com/codepinkalert/videos: "China is not an enemy" - Jeffrey Sachs)
"In 2008, the US initiated a ‘Pivot to Asia’ to counter China’s success, which included spending billions of dollars surrounding China with military bases, troops, and weapons. Now, we are at the edge of another possible global war-all because the US is obsessed with power."

As far as the actual people involved? I don't think most of the commenters here who were pro-Ukraine war are on the USAID payroll, I think they were naive.

As I once was. As most of us were. So I'm not trying to be mean or judgey, just pointing out that -- the evidence is all out there for everyone to see now.

It is pretty hard to argue that this war was ever about Russia or even Ukraine, right? This was all about money and grift.

But, not the current guy sitting in the Oval Office. The EU and UK are trying desperately to assure that US forces (and more importantly...US Dollars) will lead the peace keeping force in Ukraine. The current plan is to list the US as an "Insurance" policy to back up EU and UK peace keeping forces. But, be assured that they would orchestrate the scenario that dragged the US in...and led to a extended confrontation. That's the goal. And, once there, you can count on an event being orchestrated to take US lives and extend our stay, and the confrontation. That's where we are.

And why is that? American arms are used on acquire territory (or, more accurately, resources) and to attack civilian populations around the world every day.

This had nothing to do with Russia.

We, the United States, along with our inbred cousins in Europe, started this war. We funded it. We ran a coup against the elected government. We found Zelensky making dick jokes on TV and made him president.

And by "we" I mean our deep state / intelligence community / CIA.

Russia reacted exactly how any normal person would expect Russia to react in this situation. Which is what the deep state was counting on.

Now that same Deep State is trying to chickenfuck the person we elected to be president in to putting american troops on the ground in Ukraine / Russia and turning Ukraine in to a full vassal state so Blackrock can make billions.

I watched the vid of the Finnish scrunt telling everyone what peace talks will look like, acting as if the US is going to sit at the little kid's table while the EU/NATO grownups sit at the adult table and make all the decisions. And he makes it sound like it has to take 100 years. Gotta keep that world order/industrial complex grift going!

I just kept seeing one stunning young lady after another.

After a little more observation, I noticed that most of them were with a lady roughly 20-25 years older, presumably their mothers.

Every single one of the older ladies was built like an NFL linebacker that let themselves go after retirement.

At that point, my simplistic male brain did not know what to think!

In the very early days Russia had a special forces attack on Kiev that got to within a few blocks of the Government area that might have made the Ukrainians cave. I consider that a stunt more than military. They did a similar thing in Czechoslovakia in 68. They then dangled the cleanup force for a few weeks while other forces secured the southern districts near the sea of Azov (the land bridge) while Ukraine kept forces near the central area.

The final withdrawal from near Kiev was when Z begged them to go when he was about to sign the Istanbul accords and the UK went and stopped him from doing so. Russia might well have had some supply issues in that force, but their leaving was not forced by heroic Ukrainians. There has been plenty of heroism later, but the strategic situation made the front line's soldiers fruitless.

294 California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) purged five Republicans and one moderate Democrat from legislative committees late Friday, apparently in retaliation for their efforts at oversight and bipartisanship.

The move was shocking even by California standards. Democrats hold supermajorities in both the Assembly and the State Senate, and can pass legislation virtually without input or objection from Republican members of either.

To be fair, he's telling the German people that they've got until 2029 before the balloons go up, so there's that.

What I'm seeing is that the European ruling class is on the way out, and these nitwits don't like that one bit. I bet Soros, Inc. isn't wild about that, either. Populism is on the rise, cordon sanitaires against the "extreme" right are crumbling, and the US hegemon is operating under new management. They're using the Russian bogeyman as a life preserver and if there's peace, then the Ruling Class has lost its reason for control.

More scare, more authoritarianism, less freedom are on their survivalist agenda. Good luck with that.

This has little to do with Trump as a person. If you know anything about the history of the Republican party, and more importantly, the history of the United States, we are trying to return the US to a semblance of what this country looked like prior to the cold war.

We are trying to undo a very fucked up and very unsustainable new world order that appeared post-wwii and worked for a little bit until it didn't.

And we're well in to the "until it didn't" stage, if you haven't noticed. Our industrial base is gone, our streets are overrun with third world immigrants, our treasury is beyond broke, and corruption rules the day in DC and every state house.

Staying on that track is, without a doubt, a suicide pact. So whatever Trump does will suck less than that, even if avocados get more expensive or whatever the faux outrage of the day is.

Russia will never be able to provide even half the necessary logistics to ground forces attacking into in Poland and points West. NATO generals know this. Russian generals know this. US generals know this. NATO air forces and cruise missiles will shred Russian rail lines and marshaling yards, ports, barge transportation, road bridges, road and rail convoys, fuel/ammo/fuel dumps, you name it.

The three Baltic States, however are vulnerable to being blitzkrieged, triggering WW3 via NATO Article 5. Unless Canada and European NATO members say, 'Well, sorry you Balts, we have a headache and the car is broke, so won't be able to help you for a while."

Posted by: Thomas Paine at March 03, 2025 02:33 PM (lTGtQ)

The offensive that was launched in the Kursk region last year, they gathered some tens of thousands of troops from various parts of the front. Not necessarily elite troops, just forces that were more capable than others.

The goal was the nukular plan some miles inside the border. They didn't make it very far, taking villages that were very lightly manned, before the offensive was stopped. The troops were then surrounded, and offered to be spared if they surrendered. Many did.

Those who didn't have been killed. Systematically, so the Russians don't have to commit too many of their own men to the operation. Some Ukes still remain, but they're essentially cut off from supplies.

They have no one left to mount an offensive.

He's not really trying to build anything extrordinary.
He's trying to bring Russia back into the fold.

Which they were until the U.S. & E.U. decided to keep fucking with Russia over the expansion of NATO.

Instead of doing all of that they should have just asked Russia to join NATO back when Putin was practically begging them for the offer.

But no, MI6 and the CIA and all the dispshits in our DoD and Foggy Bottom had to keep screwing with Vlad.
Even when Vlad warned them and took Crimea without a gun fired, they just kept on and on and on.

It's not a New World Order, it's just a reset back to 2002.

The problem is the EU is having conniption fits over the deal because the schizophrenic bastards loved Putin because of his oil & gas until about 3 years ago and now hate him almost as much as they hate Trump.

All governments should have a rule that if the economy goes bad a percentage of government workers must be immediately let go for a good number of years. Government money comes from the peeps, they should be the first ones thrown to the wolves, since they probably made it happen.

Posted by: SMOD at March 03, 2025 02:40 PM (RHGPo)

Tanks are basically obsolete, but it is literally true that the weapons systems of the Russians are not only not being depleted, they have more than they did when this war started.

Including very sophisticated missiles that we lack the technology to stop.

But Nikki Haley says they're being bled dry, and who am I to argue with Nikki Haley.

Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at March 03, 2025 02:38 PM (g3Ng9)

Correct. It's a narrative "we should let Sweden in to NATO! They're our friends! Whats the big deal?"

The big deal is we're agreeing to send American troops to die to protect Sweden's borders if they get in a war.

Which is a big fucking deal, and frankly should require 2/3 of the Senate for us to be treaty bound to such a thing.

Now, Sweden is probably not going to be getting in to any wars soon. But what about, I don't know, Estonia?

We going to start WWIII over the territorial integrity of Estonia? We're all in agreement on that? No? Didn't think so.

He says Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Poland are re arming because they see the necessity. Germany won't, France won't it's impossible for the UK to do it.

I agree that Z is corrupt and that we need to stop funding this unwinnable war, but....

My grandpa was from Belarus and I've attended an ethnically Ukrainian church for 30+ years. I've heard stories about the Russians and their treatment of Ukraine that would make your hair curl, especially from some of the older parishioners who are no longer with us. People who survived the Holodomor. Women taken from their families as teen girls to work in the fields, or worse. Folks born in DP camps after the war. Ukraine is not Russia. It has its own vibrant culture, language, faith, foods, etc. Putin was in the wrong to invade Ukraine, and the average Ukrainian people are the ones suffering the most.
