During the final hours of a negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine, clown Boris Johnson invited himself to Kiev. In his meeting with another clown, Zelensky, Boris Johnson presented Zelensky with a bland cheque, tell him to fill in whatever he wanted. One clown conning another clown, a deal was struck. Clown Zelensky was totally drunk by the offer, never before was such an unconditional offer been given to anyone. Zelensky signed on the dotted line and Boris Johnson happily left to report the good news to Emperor Biden. Zelensky had swallowed the bait.
One must say that the offer was good as long as the war went on according to the script of the clowns in Washington. 6 months, definitely not more than a year, Russia would be broken, and would collapse. The blank cheque would be honoured, but would not be too costly. No one, definitely not the clowns in Washington could expect the script to be rewritten in favour of the Russians. It is almost 3 years, and instead of Russia falling, Ukraine is on the brink of collapsing. And Boris Johnson is no where to be found. It now rumoured that the Europeans are wanting out and the Washington clowns would have to accept the unexpected result, and are thinking or planning to pull the rug under the feet of Zelensky, very soon.
What happened to the blank cheque? The Americans are stumbling, hesitating, not so forth coming. What Zelensky did not expect is that the blank cheque was actually issued by him, Zelensky. Whichever way the war ends, the Americans and all the NATO members are going to send their bills to Zelensky. And they have a freehand in writing whatever they want in the bill and pricing them at whatever prices they want. The bill is going to shock Zelensky to high heaven. There is no way to account or verify what were delivered and what should be the prices of all the items. It is a sellers' market. The sellers fill in the blanks and the prices. Whatever the Americans and NATO ask, Zelensky has to pay!
Zelensky did not know that he had written a blank cheque to the Americans and NATO allies. Did he know or not know that he has to pay when the war is over? It was very easy to ask for everything under the sky. If the war is won, Russia would be the sucker forced to make payments for everything, war reparation. The resources in Russia, and the land, would be up for grabs. But with defeat, Ukraine has to pay for everything. All the aids are not free. Pawn everything in Ukraine would not be enough if the Americans and NATO allies are greedy. Ukraine would be bankrupt and divided into many pieces.
What would happen to clown Zelensky for digging such a big hole for Ukraine and the Ukrainians?
Zelensky is not going to worry about having to pay Ukraine's unpayable debts. He has limited time left on his hands holding power in Ukraine. Whoever comes after him will have to shoulder the debt owed to USA and NATO, or should I say the citizens of Ukraine will be left to shoulder that debt. It is the same with USA Presidents, promising the sky and the moon, but after their four years is over, it is other people's business and responsibility.
ReplyDeleteTrump has four more years to destroy the USA, which he could not accomplish during his first term. Trump is going to make China Greater Again and make 'America Grief Again'. Already, the media is starting to gloat about factories moving to the USA after Trump's victory, thinking that those tariffs Trump is gloating about is going to make 'Made in USA' conquer the world. Have they asked the question of how such industries in USA are going to compete on the global stage, which is much bigger than the USA market itself. If such products made in USA cannot sell outside the USA, such manufacturing entities will become more or less just white elephants in no time.
Trump is starting to boast that 'tariffs are the best invention of mankind' or something to that effect in his warped mind. Best invention to help the rich, not the common man on the street. They have to pay more for goods imported into the country, nothing more and nothing less.
And Trump is again saying that 'tariffs are easy to win', the same as his 'trade wars are easy to win'. Countries will likely retaliate. If trade wars are easy to win, why is the USA still trying to contain China with so much winning?
The biggest advantage of a Presidential candidates in a democratic election is for the candidates not having to take responsibility for any policy foul up after gaining office. Any wrong move is up to the successor to have to correct or just kick the can further down the road back to square one.
ReplyDeleteLook at the homelessness and drug infestation problem that neither party, Democratic or Republican honestly wants to address or even talk about during campaigning. All they talk about is who is going to hit China harder, who is going to send more money and weapons to Israel to commit more genocide, who are the non-Whites going to support and why. Domestic issues seem far apart from the minds of both candidates.
Look at the gun laws for example that never gets to be amended despite all the gloating after every shooting of action being taken. What does happen are just cosmetic changes just to fool the public. The hold of the gun lobby in Congress will make sure nothing ever changes. Have we heard of the nonsense telling us that 'guns do not kill, humans do". Really?
Will four more years of Trump change anything? All I believe in is that any changes will be for the worse, not the better.
