Zelensky slams Biden’s ‘unprecedented and absurd’ stance on NATO membership

VILNIUS, Lithuania — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into NATO leaders including President Biden Tuesday for not extending NATO membership to his war-torn country — introducing fresh diplomatic drama into the annual gathering of the military alliance’s leaders.

Zelensky, who will join the NATO summit in Lithuania on Wednesday, slammed the reticence as “weakness” and “absurd” — just moments after Biden referred to the development of new non-public language under development for NATO ascension.

“Now, on the way to Vilnius, we received signals that certain wording is being discussed without Ukraine. And I would like to emphasize that this wording is about the invitation to become NATO member, not about Ukraine’s membership,” Zelensky tweeted.

Oh, so that’s what they mean by “butting the hand that feeds you.”

Biden obviously doesn’t know who’s really in charge here.

You don’t bring me flowers
You don’t sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day

Ukraine was just a prostitute of the Biden regime and NATO to drain Russia.

So now Zelensky is all dried up and getting kicked to the curb? Biden says “sorry sucker”.

--- "...fresh diplomatic drama...."

And therein lies the reality. This is a "drama" complete with its production team, scripting, dandy visuals from the UMC corps, and both sides fire off daily salvos of messaging for the audience. Another opening, another show.

Just give it some time and they’ll be doing a duet....
If you like piña coladas
And gettin’ caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin’ love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for
Write to me and escape

Zelensky must have some real trash to dish on the Bidens for him to be so bold in the face of all that hardware and cash delivered already.

Right, that's why 45 countries are giving military aid to Ukraine, because of blackmail and not because Putin has gone rogue.

As of February 2023, military aid was donated by EU institutions, 45 sovereign countries, companies, and other parties.

NATO has been kicking Ukraine’s desire to join NATO to the curb for over a decade. Ditto with EU.

You see, there are actually standards for membership.
Ukraine doesn’t meet them.
This puts all the other members at risk of shared war and ruin.
Drop the standards for Ukraine, and where do these organizations go?
Gee who’da thought….Ukraine is just a punching bag and test ground for western tech vs Russia
300,000K Uke military dead, still haven’t reached the last Ukrainian

Russia says Ukraine joining NATO would make nuclear war much more likely. It seems Biden’s elite handlers would want that.

No nation has met them. We have paid for everyone’s NATO membership, except for when Trump was president.

Not to worry, Biden will keep shoveling the dineros his way.

If Ukraine can be emptied of men, the land is much easier to confiscate by the NWO. Same with Russia
