Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky complained on Friday that his Western backers won’t shoot down Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine, which would mean direct NATO involvement in the war.
“If the allies shoot down missiles together in the sky of the Middle East, why is there still no decision to shoot down drones and missiles over Ukraine? Even when those drones fly towards the EU,” Zelensky said, according to POLITICO.
Back in April, the US directly intervened to intercept Iranian missiles and drones that were fired at Israel in retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus. At the time, Zelensky expressed envy for the US defense of Israel. On Friday, Zelensky said the West won’t even discuss the idea of shooting down Russian missiles and drones.
“When we raise this issue during the negotiations, the partners don’t even say they are working on it like they say about everything else … they just change the subject. They are scared to even tell us ‘they are working on it.’ And so far, only Belarus has been seen shooting down Russian drones,” he added.
Earlier this month, the Belarusian said that it shot down drones that entered Belarus’ airspace. Around the same time, NATO members Latvia and Romania said that Russian drones violated their airspace.
Some NATO countries are discussing the idea of shooting down Russian drones that enter their airspace. But what Zelensky wants is for NATO to shoot down any Russian missiles or drones fired at Ukraine.
”This is your rifle, Z-Man, this is your gun! This is for fighting and this is for fun!!!”….
Give him a minute to write down which is which.
My drill sergeant said that to me in basic training while grabbing his crotch.
Zelensky has missile envy.
Because most sensible people would not like to see a nuclear war between the world's two most dodgy, bellicose nuclear powers.
A real "duh" moment, clearly.
But I suppose if you have to feel your way from so far down in the trenches, you can't see the bigger picture.
It is totally reasonable for Zelensky to feel angry at the world for hesitating before committing suicide. The bad news for us, which makes it good news for him, is the world is almost there.
Zelensky is always bitching/complaining about something.
He got used to the Prima donna role which is difficult to give up.
It caught my eyes that "Zelensky Complains…" I thought he would be complaining that a million Ukrainians have died or been injured after we convinced him to cancel all the peace agreements. …Nope. He complains because the war is not BIGGER!
He still can't get it that the ruling American neocons will just as easily cancel agreements and promises they made him and the neo-Nazis in Kiev.
(Frankly, I think he already has his reservations and tickets to fly to the French Riviera or maybe Fl. is good enough.)
More likely Tuscany, where he already owns a villa.
How about, "NO," Zelensky?
Complain all you want…! That's not gonna happen…! Because US and NATO don't have enough resources to counter the potential Russian retaliation…!
"If the allies shoot down missiles together in the sky of the Middle East, why is there still no decision to shoot down drones and missiles over Ukraine."
Zelenskiyy, you have a minute, can we talk ?
Dunno how EXACTLY to tell you this, but, here goes.
"The allies" (read : exclusively the USA) defends the Apartheid State of Israel because the bible-literalists running the USA believes All That S**t Is True and that a magical invisible sky-wizard who created EVERYTHING cares about one specific region & whoever supports it, on one rock around one star in a particularly unremarkable galaxy out of hundreds of billions
YOU (yourself, and Ukraine) are both useful idiots in the 40+ year quest to destroy a Soviet Union that didn't have the courtesy to declare that it lost & the USA won the Cold War.
Ukraine is the "side-piece" of the USA. America appreciates the a**-f**king you take but the US isn't going to leave its wife for you.
The clown Zelensky does not get it. He sold Ukraine and its people to fight a proxy war in support of US interests not Ukrainian interests. The US will not sacrifice anything, they will walk away and will leave him behind with an annihilated nation.
“If the allies shoot down missiles together in the sky of the Middle East, why is there still no decision to shoot down drones and missiles over Ukraine? Even when those drones fly towards the EU,” Zelensky said, according to POLITICO.
Is he serious? 6,000 nukes come to mind.
Your sugar-daddy still loves you, little buddy….. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/907aeef97bea4775363efd50fa8a04753835859b2cc6aaf0e7d4f188e7216c07.jpg
Cause and Effect or in the more plebeian Screw Around and Find Out – FAFO!
The principle of causation!
"the post-Cartesian attempt to see everything as governed by simple laws of cause and effect" the operation or relation of a cause and its effect.
"cause and effect play an important part in the universe"
The British are pushing hard to allow use of Storm Shadow munitions to attack into Russia proper. The British, Canada, Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic principalities are in favor. Italy, France, and Spain are opposed to strikes into Russia.
England is now surrounded by a half dozen Russian submarines armed with conventional hypersonic missiles.
Thinking is that the British military manufacturing facilities could be targeted if Britain attacks Russia.
Critical, Why are you so critical? Stupid people are allowed to say and do stupid things until they FU@K AROUND AND FIND OUT.
Zelenskyy needs to stop postponing the elections and let the people vote his warmonger lying A$$ out of office.
