Zelensky is facing a Valley Forge moment
The hill ^ | 12/18/2022 | EARLE MACK, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

Posted on 12/18/2022 11:28:09 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Facing the deadly threat of freezing temperatures and starvation at Valley Forge, George Washington famously wrote, “unless some great and capital change suddenly takes place in [the supply] line, this Army must inevitably be reduced to one or other of these three things. Starve, dissolve, or disperse.”

Today in Ukraine, winter has begun, and President Volodymyr Zelensky faces his own Valley Forge as millions of Ukrainians are confronting months without heat, electricity, or basic sustenance. To help meet this challenge, America must immediately act to cut through the bureaucracy and politics to deliver the billions in humanitarian aid that has yet to reach the border.

George Washington and Zelensky should not be said in the same breath. 🙄

Things are a little different than they were in the 1700’s.

“Our shared commitment and belief in democracy”
************************************************

Zelensky shut down and arrested opposition political parties along with opposition media, and they pretend it’s a democracy? No, it’s a criminally corrupt lawless country run by grifters who are hoping to bleed the West for all the money they can before everything collapses.

Why is it our responsibility to bail out a European problem thanks to Zelenskyy and Putin when we have problems of our own thanks to Brandon?

The Treasonous MSM and Biden Regime all think we should give billions and billions to Zelensky, given that the Ukraine is where crime families (Bidens, Pelosis, Schumers) all get their money laundered...

While they have had previous presidents, 100 years from now every Ukrainian school child is going to remember Zelensky as the Father of their Nation.

Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe is in American interest. President Trump agrees and his policies reflect that belief. Or maybe we want to Make Russia Great Again instead?

Big difference is Zelensky is an egomaniac trying to play “wag the dog” and get everybody into WWW III.

LOL. Everything you indict Ukraine for applies in spades to Russia. Yet you take no umbrage. Why is that? How many of Putin’s political opponents end up dead, poisoned or in jail? How many journalists end up dead in Russia? Last I checked Ukraine isn’t threatening to nuke us. But I guess that’s ok when Russia does it?

Ukraine haters here are deluded scumbags.
Make me puke.
Do you know what all of you jackasses have against Zelensky in substance?
Absolutely not a damn thing.
His country was invaded by a nuclear superpower. He and his country have fought as true heroes against incredible odds.

And you ignorant dopes sit behind your keyboards typing out fantasies about homosexuality and Soros.

You’re despicable.

Big difference is Ukraine has had 5 Presidents since the tin pot Tsar occupied the Kremlin in neo-nazi Russia. And Ukraine is the undemocratic country involved here? Suggesting so is a laughable assertion without a shred of evidence to back it up.

Wag the Dog was about a war that didn’t exist.

Are you that stupid?
