Campaign Update: Trump Will End the Ukraine/Russia War Faster Than Anyone Expects
As we witness Ukrainian strong man Volodymyr Zelenskyy bemoan the fact that U.S. officials held bilateral meetings with Russian counterparts this week in Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, we should keep in mind that Zelenskyy currently has a public approval rating in his home country mired in the low single digits. We should also keep in mind this is why he refuses to hold democratic elections.
After three years of happily supporting the US/NATO proxy war with Russia using his homeland as the battlefield, Zelenskyy has not only cancelled all democratic institutions in his country, he has also moved to cancel protestant churches and severely hamper anything resembling a free press in Ukraine. He is in fact every bit the dictator we accuse his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of being.
Dictators don’t get to complain when they are left out of peace negotiations, even when such negotiations involve their own countries. Once you cancel the ability of the people in your country to choose their own leaders, you cancel your right to complain on the international stage when things don’t go your way. Just as that same principle has been applied to Putin for the last three years, so it now should be applied to Zelenskyy.
