The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.

For what?

quote:

That said, I am exactly 0% grateful for a country that is merely defending itself while we finance and arm their defense.

You realize this is BS, right? I'm guessing not, else you wouldn't have posted it.

We aren't financing anything anymore. In fact, we're profiting directly off it while the Europeans and Russians finance it. Again - the United States under the Trump administration is giving them 0 in aid - nothing, nada, zip. We are, however, selling them weapons, with weapons manufacturers making billions off of their suffering.

Furthermore, the Russians have repeated stated that this war is against a Unipolar world, one the US runs and benefits from. They have complained ad nauseum that this is a war against NATO and said on a number of occasions that our allies - countries we made an agreement to come to the aid of should they be attacked - are next on the list. So, there is every conceivable reason to believe that the lives of American servicemembers are being spared because the Ukrainians chose not to just give up and give in to the Russians.

So while you are correct to state that the Ukrainians are fighting for their own survival, and not for the 'good of the world,' that doesn't change a damn thing.

The fact that there was a narrative that the US wanted Kyiv to hold elections.

What narrative???? Trump has REPEATEDLY told the Ukrainians to hold elections:

Trump tells the Ukrainians to hold Elections

This is, of course, a part of a broader campaign by our government to pressure the Ukrainians into a BS 'deal' with the Russians.

My guess is that Z wants to get it over with for multiple reasons:

1) Right now, polling indicates that two things the Ukrainians agree on is that Z is the leader of Ukraine and that they don't want to give up any territory, and
2) It calls Trumps bluff and changes topics.

Smart political move, again, by Z.

But damn, ya'll.

narrative....*snort*

What narrative????

The narrative that Russia has pushed is that Zekensky is the illegitimate leader of Ukraine. That the US put him in office and that if there were elections he’d be ousted.

They have been pushing that for years.

The last thing the Chinese want is a Russian recovery. They will stretch this party out until they own everything in Russia worth owning. Only when we see Chinese 'management' of everything, including the port of Kaliningrad, will we see the Chinese get serious about peace.

Payment to the imperialistic Trotskyite judges failed due to illegal Western sanctions on SWIFT transfers.

Not so fun fact, the organizers of the games were so unprepared for a Ukrainian to win gold that the ceremony was delayed for an hour. They initially hung the Ukrainian flag upside down and realized they didn't even have a recording of the national anthem. After Ukrainian team refusing offers to play the russian or soviet anthem instead (!!!), a Ukrainian team official had to rush back to the Olympic Village to retrieve a recording found in the bag of fellow skater Liudmyla Mykhailovska for the Ukrainian anthem to be played.
