Zelensky Says No Counteroffensive Until the West Sends More Weapons

[JGalt]

What the hell happened to the American Left? How did they transition from being aggressive Vietnam War-era pacifists, to non-stop protesting throughout the entire War on Terror, to now being cheerleaders for a war in Eastern Europe? How was it that the Left which was at one time so fond of socialism and communism, suddenly adopt such an affection to jingoism that would have made even Senator Joe McCarty blush?

The far-left anti-war organization antiwar.com is now (March 26, 2023) reporting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that Ukraine’s counteroffensive can’t begin until the US and other Western countries send more weapons and ammunition...

"When asked about a potential counteroffensive in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, Zelensky said Ukraine can’t “start yet” and can’t “send our brave soldiers to the front line without tanks, artillery and long-range rockets.”

“We are waiting for the receipt of ammunition from our partner countries. If there is political will, ways can be found to help us. We are at war and cannot wait,” he added. He said the military situation in eastern Ukraine is “not very good” due to the lack of ammo."

Not sure. But I heard in that part of the world, there's big money in trafficking American weapons and equipment. Biden sure is outdoing his former boss. All Obama got to do was put assault rifles in the hands of some Mexican drug cartels, with his Fast & Furious. scandal.

Joe not only gifted the Taliban with billions worth of weapons, now he's supplying Eastern Europe.

Zelensky Says No Counteroffensive Until the West Sends More Weapons​

Something's very wrong here, this boob has Russia hanging down his neck, has half the world pouring money, food, pension funds, jets, tanks and bombs into his country so why is he trying to make it sound like it is WE who have our backs against the wall and OUR necks on the line?

Has anyone told this guy yet that almost every "ally" the USA has ever had since WWII they went fink on in the 11th hour and split?

The Russian speaking comedian just about still walking
ZH now .

“We do not have ammunition. For us the situation in the East is not good.”




This is a major revelation for several reasons.

• First, it proves that Russia is winning NATO’s self-declared “race of logistics” in the sense that its armed forces still have ammo to continue fighting while the West’s Ukrainian proxies already ran out of that which their patrons provided over the past year.
• Second, the aforesaid aid that was already extended to this crumbling former Soviet Republic exceeds $100 billion, which makes Russia’s leading position in this “race of logistics” all the more impressive.
• Third, Zelensky’s admission adds credence to what the Washington Post recently reported regarding how poorly Kiev’s forces are faring in this conflict, especially its “severe ammunition shortages” that one of its sources spoke about. Fourth, the preceding points drastically decrease the chances that Kiev’s upcoming counteroffensive will achieve much of anything and actually make it increasingly likely that such a move would be an epic mistake that could ultimately lead to a decisive Russian breakthrough.
• And finally, it can therefore be expected that Zelensky and his agents of influence across the West will beg for even more aid, arguing that the failure to pay up would risking making their prior investments in this proxy war all for naught if Kiev ends up losing to Russia. The problem, however, is that no amount of money can make ammunition appear out of thin air since it requires a lot of time to scale production accordingly to meet these newfound exorbitant needs.

All I can say is this whole thing blows. We have to travel 5,600 miles to get there while Putin steps off his back porch after taking a dip in his pool!

F*CK Zelensky, we ain't getting anything out of this mess but huge bills.

Remember Oddball Hitliars statement when asked about Germany's military build up; "I am arming Germany in case of Soviet military aggression". Hitliar the statist lefty peace promoter turned Hitliar the statist lefty war monger. The statist left thrives on both conflict & aggressive war with a hint of misleading propaganda to justify the means. Just the way they are.

This pragmatic approach increases in relevance now that the Ukeys have all but run out of men.
Whom will the Ukeys use for their new defence line? From where ? etc

****
BTW I did not know until very recently that the puppet comedian comes from a Russian speaking part of Ukey Land and only speaks Ukey as a second language and far from well according to true Ukey speaking people .
Opens up whole new realms of conjecture , from astute critical speculation to perhaps far fetched Conspiracy.

EXAMPLE :I recall that a few years back Z was a firm Uncle P fan and "pal" before getting embroiled with Kolomoisky, and separately that Uncle P was a made up WEF partner.
And one or two very smart people told me from the beginning that the whole matter is theatre in geopolitical terms . Just saying.

Lol. There's a big difference between visually confirmed and documented Russian losses vs. unsubstantiated claims by Pushilin or some other Kremlin mouthpiece...

Why try and take ground which is so wet that motorised vehicles cannot move off road ? Let alone tanks?
Why move when the Ukey forces repeatedly try to move forward , allowing the Russians to obliterate them via artillery ?

See . You have no idea what is happening or why .
This deliberate tactic is allowing Russia to create casualties as high as 15-1 and allow their force of up to 300 000 reservists to be ready for the big push once the ground has dried .

Zelensky and Putin sold it out the back door for profit. Probably to some Middle Eastern or African regimes.

BE-caaaaaauuuuuuuse Zelensky wants us to do the fighting FOR them, and that is what he's holding out for. I suppose he'll get that, too, so Biden can get re-elected as a wartime prezeldent.

In other words, you can't think of a convincing argument to oppose US aid to Ukraine, so you base your argument on fantasies about what Zelensky and Biden might be doing.

Any more, I'm not inclined to believe a single report coming from either side.
