DAVID KRAYDEN: Zelensky has picked the bones clean—Time to tell this freeloading bum that the bank is closed

Why is it fine for foreign leaders to interfere in American elections if that foreign leader happens to be a actor named Zelenskyy who continues to play the role of a lifetime and doesn’t seem to be aware that all the carnage, death and destruction in his war with Russia is real, not props and special effects?

Why is it fine for foreign leaders to interfere in American elections if that foreign leader happens to be a actor named Zelenskyy who continues to play the role of a lifetime and doesn’t seem to be aware that all the carnage, death and destruction in his war with Russia is real, not props and special effects?

There is something positively surreal – or perhaps unreal – about watching Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disembark from a United States Air Force transport plane and start campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris – and of course for himself, as he continues to pick the bones clean from America’s military and taxpayers. The perverse symbolism of his visit to a munitions factory in Scranton, PA was just unbearable. Scranton, of course, is the city that President Joe Biden calls home whenever he’s in Pennsylvania and not slumped on the beach in Delaware.

But it is surreal as well for NATO to continue to position itself into direct conflict with Russia, especially when that organization cannot effectively explain just why it should continue to expand or exist at all. When it fulfilled its raison d’etre with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, it should have shut down, along with the Warsaw Pact. Then, Europe and the world could have proceeded to build a post-Cold War peace based on Russia being fully integrated into the democratic world and one without perpetual saber rattling. But NATO didn’t want peace when there was so much money to be made from war.

But why is it fine for foreign leaders to interfere in American elections if that foreign leader happens to be an actor named Zelensky, who continues to play the role of a lifetime and doesn’t seem to be aware that all the carnage, death and destruction in his war with Russia is real, not props and special effects?

Zelensky came to Scranton PA to honor the munition workers at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, who churn out the armaments so Zelensky can keep the war going with Russia. The arms they produce will have a short lifespan as the battlefield has an unquenchable thirst for more howitzer shells. But there are always more and there is always more money.

Zelensky is in the United States to tout his “victory plan” for Ukraine and to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. Excuse me? He has a “victory plan” when his country is on life support and weeks away from total defeat? It’s kind of like an alcoholic suffering from terminal cirrhosis talking about a recovery plan. There is no victory in sight for Zelensky, only a flight to a foreign land where he has money stashed. NATO might be able to stop the Russian victory with a full-throttled attack but that would inevitably lead to a nuclear exchange that would lead to victory for no one and the obliteration of much of civilization.

And we are on the brink of war with Russia because the US wouldn’t stop talking about Ukraine becoming a member of NATO and thinking it wasn’t going to have any foreign policy consequences. For his Scranton tour, Zelensky was surrounded by local, state and federal Democratic leaders like Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA), without a Republican in sight. Cartwright passed on a message from President Joe Biden, “Thank you. And we need more,” was the automatic response from Zelensky, a dictator who has squeezed hundreds of billions of dollars in cash and military equipment out of the United States and continues to keep both hands stretched out looking for another infusion of money from the American chumps who continue to fund not just Zelensky’s war but his chalets, yachts, wife’s diamonds and lavish lifestyle.

Clearly, this was a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris, the woman who now claims to have organized some kind of coalition of the willing to save Ukraine from Russian aggression. Like every Democratic presidential candidate since their party became an arm of the Military-Industrial Complex, Harris is all in for the war without having a clue about the background; about how the US has persistently interfered in Ukrainian politics and backed one leader and removed another; about how NATO and the leaders of all of its prominent member states promised Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand eastward after the end of the Cold War.

The munitions visit is a sick sideshow in Zelensky’s perpetual appeal for money and arms, because while he wants to utilize American arms in the war, he looks to his own defense industry as a cash cow and is actually trying to sell its products on the global market. Now you might think this is some kind of cruel joke or a clever hoax but no, you can read about it all right here at Human Events. Ukraine plays the world for such chumps that they actually take your armaments with their left hand and sell their own on the global market with their right. How did any government develop such cheek?

It all seems like second nature to a roving clown like Zelensky who, much like his bromance buddy Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is not really a world leader but an actor continually looking for a job, in search of an audience, desperate for attention. He can’t get the role quite right, though. He’s been posturing like British PM Winston Churchill since the war began but dressing like Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

It’s not that Zelensky is confused about ideology. The ideology of Ukraine is corruption with a little bit neo-Nazism blended in. The Azov regiment is nothing but a bunch of Waffen-SS reenactors with real ammunition. We will probably never know how much of the money we sent to Ukraine was diverted into the pockets of the corrupt politicians and oligarchs who run this sorry country into the ground. It has all gone into that black hole of Kyiv and it will never be seen again, just like the hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and the charred shells of tanks and armored patrol carriers that lie littered on a battlefield that virtually no one in the US mainstream media has bothered to visit since the war began.

Gov. Shapiro, who met Zelensky and his USAF plane in Scranton, is looking to hook up his state with any reconstruction works that may or may not be available to American businesses, depending on the outcome of the war. The governor signed a contract with Zaporizhzhia Regional State (Military) Administration — a province in Southeast Ukraine — that is responsible for the preparation and planning for rebuilding that sector of Ukraine after the war. But that reconstruction is being led by corporate giants BlackRock and JP Morgan, who are backing a $15 billion investor fund to profit from the rebuilding of the country. Shapiro is the same dunderhead Democrat who watched a former president nearly get assassinated in his state and said and did nothing while the whole world wondered how the US Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security and FBI could be that incompetent in protecting the president without somehow being complicit in the crime. If he believes his state will reap some kind of peace dividend in Ukraine, he is delusional. When this war is over, the US will have absolutely no influence in the country and the BlackRock parasites who are hoping to reap phenomenal profits from rebuilding the country they helped destroy are going to be summarily dismissed without another dime going into their pockets.

During the presidential debate, the insufferable ABC News host David Muir kept asking Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump if he wanted Ukraine to win the war. Trump said he wanted the war to end but he should have told Muir that this was a moot point because Ukraine had already lost the war and besides, just what would winning the war mean for Ukraine? Trump was the only one in the room that night with enough perspicacity to suggest no one was going to win anything in Ukraine if NATO continued to march towards a nuclear confrontation with Russia. Trump didn’t indicate that he had a lot of time either for Zelensky or his victory plan that is clearly another ruse to extract more money from Biden and hope to secure the future support of a Republican administration. “I see Zelensky is here, I think Zelensky is the greatest salesman in history,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania.“Every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion … He wants them [the Democrats] to win this election so badly, but I would do it differently, I will work out peace,” Trump said.

But it was almost a backhanded compliment about Zelensky’s abilities as a conman. Trump is reluctant to condemn the war in Ukraine as the money-making enterprise that it is because that would be seen as pro-Russian or pro-Putin and the former president has been the victim of anti-Russian smears too often in the past.

Zelensky has attacked Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as “too radical” because Vance has long recognized the stupidity of funding Ukraine to protect its borders when the US has done nothing to secure its own borders for the four years of the Biden-Harris regime. That of course is what this all comes down to. The United States has absolutely no business determining anyone else’s borders when it cannot guarantee its own sovereignty. That is where Trump needs to push hardest on this issue and with Vance beside him, he is getting close.
