Zelensky is the undisputed richest comedian on earth today. Can't imagine how much he is being paid to play this role. Can't imagine how much each of his neo Nazi generals are being paid by the West for trying to bring down Russia in a war in Ukraine while the West applied economic pressures like sanctions etc etc to destroy the Russian economy.
So far the West have poured in hundreds of billions of aids into Ukraine, not just weapons and ammunition, but aircraft, missiles, tanks, defence systems, but also paying for the administration of the Ukrainian govt and soldiers, ie their salaries. In this way, it is quite evident that the West are paying Zelensky and his neo Nazi soldiers to fight Russia. The citizens of the West are as good as paying taxes to support the Zelensky govt.
In the minds of Zelensky, he and his neo Nazi are working for the West, to defend the American Empire and NATO. For their hard work and contribution in the war, with so many Ukrainians died or wounded, so many Ukrainians becoming refugees, the Ukrainian economy collapsed, land taken over by the Russians, the Americans and the West must pay. Either way, the money must keep coming in to feed Zelensky and his neo Nazi soldiers, working for the West, or the West working for Zelensky, does not matter.
When the money stops flowing in, the war stops. The West cannot expect Zelensky and his neo Nazi to keep fighting and dying for free. Zelensky and his gang too would refuse to do the fighting. Zelensky working for the West or the West working for Zelensky are two sides of the same coin. The interests of the West and the interests of Zelensky are intertwined and held together by money.
This is why Trump said he could end the war immediately...by cutting off the money.
