On war aims, Zelensky is more like Hitler than Churchill

 On war aims, Zelensky is more like Hitler than Churchill

When the Russo Ukraine war began nearly 2 ago, US and NATO leaders heralded Ukraine President Zelensky as the 21st century Churchill. His boyish but strong willed charisma in pushing back against the Russian invasion captivated US and NATO leaders. They saw him as the perfect foil to the evil looking Vladimir Putin who launched the invasion. If Zelensky was the 21st century Churchill, Putin was the new 21stcentury Hitler, snatching the title Saddam Hussein garnered after 911.

But Zelensky is no Churchill, simply a puppet being manipulated by America to weaken Russia by forcing Zelensky to dream of total victory over Russia with endless US weapons but no US troops.

Zelensky quickly caved to US demands that he cancel the impending peace deal in the first two months that would have cost Ukraine no new territory. That decision has cost Ukraine several hundred thousand dead soldiers, millions displaced, a third of its economy vanished, and 20% of eastern Ukraine gone forever.

Every one of the $113 billion in US weapons and other aid is gone with nothing to show but impending defeat. The US and NATO weapons cupboards are now bare with little hope of being replenished any time soon. The US has pivoted to supporting a more winnable Israeli war in Gaza.

But Zelensky stays steadfast that Ukraine will win back all its territory, including Crimea lost 10 years ago, get war crime trials for Putin and company, and reparations of billions in war damage.

He recently reiterated those now delusional plans in a speech before the World Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland. Even some of Zelensky’s leaders have expressed concern he has lost touch with reality and will not listen to anyone but himself.

Instead of Churchill, Zelensky appears to be channeling Adolph Hitler in the closing days of WWII when he was moving around imaginary armies in his head to prevent the inevitable defeat.

And as delusional as Zelensky, President Biden continues to cheer him on to complete victory.
