The High-Heeled Coot

The POTUS Donald Trump has mentioned how Volodymyr Zelensky talked the US into spending USD 350 billion (USD 200 billion more than Europe) to go into a war that never had to start. He also points out Zelensky admitting that half of that money is missing, and that Zelensky probably wanted to the keep the “gravy train” going despite his country is shattered and millions have died unnecessarily...

So where did half the money go? Billions of dollars pumped into Ukraine were no doubt being pocketed by America’s big contractors and US defence manufactures.

But what about Zelensky himself plus Joe Biden and his coterie? How was Hunter Biden (who had to win a parental suit for Joe Biden to accept him as his son) being paid USD 50,000 per month by a Ukrainian firm even when Joe Biden was Vice President?

It is no secret that in May 2014, US-engineered snap elections were held in Ukraine (scheduled to take place in March 2015) to install pro-US Petro Poroshenko as the President. At that time, Ukraine was looking for a USD 15 billion loan, which Russia was ready to provide without any stipulations. But Ukraine accepted a loan from the IMF with the provision to open up Ukraine, which is why a third of Ukraine’s arable land is owned by Americans. Biden’s blue-eyed babe Victoria Nuland played a significant role in installing Zelensky as Ukraine’s President through a CIA-coup. How much she likes porn is not known but she appears to have taken a personal liking for Zelensky, watching him play the piano with his pants down, dancing in a woman’s attire, as well as dancing in high-heels.

Declassified documents unambiguously prove that the US Secretary of State James Baker assured Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO  will not expand an inch eastward (https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early). America’s treachery in breaking this promise is reiterated by Jeffery Sachs:

How the  US forced the war in Ukraine also stands exposed (https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/anatomy-of-a-coup-how-cia-front-laid). The US-engineered coup in Ukraine plucked out Volodymyr Zelensky from his acting career and installed him as Ukraine’s president to play Washington’s political prostitute. That is why Joe Biden, as the POTUS, used to rush halfway down the red carpet to greet and hug Zelensky whenever the latter visited Washington DC.

It is amusing to read today that Europe and NATO are facing an “existential crisis”, whereas it is the existential threat posed to Russia by the blatantly deliberate expansion of NATO, which forced Moscow to launch special operations in Ukraine. Zelensky, who ensured bombings and massacres in Donetsk and Luhansk and cut off Russia’s land access to its Novorossiysk Sea Port in the Black Sea, is today running around Europe to rally support because he knows that end of the war in Ukraine is his doom. He actually deserves to be prosecuted, divested of the loot, and imprisoned; with his hands soaked in the blood of over two million Ukrainians and his country destroyed.

Europe is feeling scared because of the guilt of arming Zelensky against Russians, including deep strikes all the way to Moscow. This is in addition to western regulars and mercenaries training and fighting alongside Ukrainian forces. Britain, which sabotaged Russian efforts for a ceasefire within two months of outbreak of hostilities (with then Prime Minister Boris Johnson playing Biden’s pooch) appears most shaky. That is why British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now prepared to send 30,000 British troops to Ukraine (despite the small-sized British Army and Britain’s only aircraft carrier in sick bay) – to augment Zelensky’s personnel security that Britain has been providing? It helps Starmer divert attention from the economic mess Britain finds itself in. But another reason probably is that despite BREXIT, Starmer probably seeks a role for Britain in European security as a P5, lest France vetoes Britain out.  

 There is plenty of speculation why German Chancellor Olof Scholz stormed out of his meeting with Starmer. Scholz obviously doesn’t want to commit German troops in Ukraine like Britain. Besides elections are coming and Scholz’s ratings are running low notwithstanding how US Vice President JD Vance addressed European Union (EU) leaders at the 61st Munich Security Conference on February 14.  EU leaders’ fear of Trump pulling out US troops from Europe is as naïve as the fear of Russia gobbling them up albeit Trump may resort to some redeployments towards China. But yes, he does want NATO/EU to start paying their fair share.

Trump’s phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 12, and the follow up meeting between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has left the EU crying and set Zelensky’s tail on fire, latter sobbing aloud for being left out. This, despite the US clarifying that the peace deal will be with the consent and benefit of all. Zelensky’s problem is that after politically prostituting to Joe Biden and America’s deep state all these years, he finds himself now with a begging bowl at the EU’s door; although aggressively sermonizing them how Russia will attack them. His sob stories of territorial integrity of Ukraine are for those who do not know or understand that Ukraine forfeited its right of territorial integrity when it refused to sign/implement the Minsk-II peace agreement and Istanbul talks, which gave those guarantees. 

The Trump Administration has suggested to Ukraine that the US be granted 50% ownership of Ukraine’s rare earth metals; while signalling it would deploy US troops to guard these assets if a deal is made with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. But Zelensky is looking at using these rare earth metals as a bargaining chip against Trump, knowing that China has stopped the supply of rare earth metals to the US. Zelensky will be the biggest hindrance to the peace deal. His desperation has led him to target the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (in a bid to blame Russia for it) as well as Russian oil infrastructure despite Europe using Russian oil. It is yet to be seen if Trump can first broker a peace deal or force elections in Ukraine to remove Zelensky, who he calls a “Dictator”.

These are interesting times in the US. The Pentagon had failed its 7th audit in a row in November 2024, federal judge Christopher Cooper has denied the Federal Labour Unions' request to temporarily block the Trump administration from carrying out mass firings of probationary employees, DOGE claims to have unearthed billions of dollars (USD 50 billion?) of wasteful expenditure, Biden government issued 4.6 million credit cards last year, and Trump has approved audit of Fort Knox as suggested by Elon Musk. Given the history of America’s deep state, how much gold and important documents are missing, especially since its audit was deliberately denied for many years, only the audit will show.
