#10  I think they figured better a comedian than a joke.


G: I think the timeline's kind of backwards. I think the Russians were close to losing Syria, and hurting from the sanctions from Ukraine, and then Obama came along in 2015 with the Iran deal and _everyone_ got a cash infusion. I think the deal was equivalent to about 150 billion dollars all told. Obama got what he really wanted and suddenly Putin had the money to really prosecute the war the way he wanted to.

Too bad the elites then spent three years not talking about this because Orange Man Bad. And then we had the kung flu and its million abberations of science...

Which I've already discussed enough today already.

Anyway, I think they're actually scared of Zelensky because although they can make noise about how he's close to this or that oligarch, he might not be part of the whole preexisting network, so they don't know what to do with him. So they're going to make threats and see if that works.

#9  Not only a Jew, but a Jewish comedian. Fortunately he seems to be the polar opposite of Al Franken, so they have that going for them. But it’s odd that the Ukrainians, with their reputation as pro-Nazi Jew-haters chose this brilliant, funny filmmaker with an unused law degree, the polar opposite of the unbrilliant, unfunny, Jew-hating “African-American” with an unused law degree that the supposedly racist Americans elected president —twice — a few years earlier.

#8  Let's review some pertinent history.
In 2013 Light Worker (LW) decreed that Assad has to go. Unfortunately, Russians disagreed*. LW (the white-bread gangsta) felt dissed and started drawing red lines - which Russians ignored. At that point somebody in his surrounding had a brilliant idea (so brilliant, it may even been LW himself). Regime change in Ukraine, and the new pro-western government will deny Russia the use of Crimean port. Hence, Russia won't be able to continue interfering in Syria. The coup - all it cost a few hundred million to Ukrainian nationalists - succeeded. But evil Putin grabbed Crimea (its ethnic Russian population didn't want to live under Ukrainian Nationalists - very nice people, you should read about them).
With his brilliant plan in shambles Obama, but not proud dad Biden, lost interest. At that point Ukrainians - who are very smart people - had a brilliant idea: "everyone knows that America is secretly ruled by Jews - so lets elect a Jew to be our new president & Americans will love us again."

*Many reasons, the main one (IMO) they got tired of eating humble pie.

#6  I don't know what's at the CATO institute link because I don't click on those.

I think maybe they think Ukraine's a good scapegoat because the presidency was won by one of (((those people))).
