Ukrainian Pres Zelenskyy. The more you know.....
Posted by Dobrien 3 years, 4 months ago to Entertainment
In the spirit of full disclosure, Zelenskyy had me fooled. Heading into this conflict with Russia I was of the opinion that Zelenskyy was a good guy. Afterall, Trump’s famous “perfect call” that he was impeached by the House of Representatives for was with Zelenskyy. Volodymyr fully cooperated with Trump in releasing the transcripts of that call and was helpful in Rudy Giuliani’s investigation of Ukraine. So, how did I get it wrong?
The short answer is, I didn’t really dig into who Zelenskyy really was. It was carelessness on my part I suppose. To be fair, I am not the only one who got it wrong so maybe Zelenskyy did a good job of deception. It makes sense, Zelenskyy was/is an actor. I seem to recall someone saying that “great movies need great actors.” Well, I wouldn’t describe Zelenskyy as a great actor, but he did star in many roles before taking his position as President of Ukraine. The most famous of the roles that Zelenskyy was in 2015:
Zelenskyy became the star of the television series Servant of the People, where he played the role of the president of Ukraine.[25] In the series, Zelenskyy's character was a high-school history teacher in his 30s who won the presidential election after a viral video showed him ranting against government corruption in Ukraine. – Wikipedia
But before we get into his acting career it is important to know that Zelenskyy was born to Jewish parents in the city of Kryvyi Rih which then was part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. He is a Russian speaking Jew, and that fact will come into play later. Zelenskyy received a degree in Economics and Technology from the Kryvyi Rih State University and later a law degree from the Kryvyi Rih Institute of economics. Zelenskyy did not pursue a career in economics or law but rather chose to go into acting and comedy.
Already a picture is being created of an actor being well educated in law and economics. These are potentially powerful skills for a superhero to wield against an enemy. This is especially true if the role of that superhero would be the president of the most corrupt countries in the world…Ukraine.
Much like Quinten Beck, Zelenskyy doesn’t possess any superpowers or abilities. However, what he does have can be effective in combination with a great illusion. That is where the Ukrainian TV show Servant of the People comes in. It is no accident that the title of this show creates the illusion of servitude and power to the people. This is a populist message being communicated and it is not by accident.
The political party Servant of the People was created in March 2018 by people from the television production company Kvartal 95, which also created the television series of the same name.
Now, you might think that this all quite savvy for an actor with political ambitions and I would normally agree with you. These are not normal times and Zelenskyy did not come up with this on his own. As quoted earlier, Servant of the People is about Zelenskyy’s character becoming president of Ukraine and ranting against government corruption. So, let’s unpack the illusion here:
· Populist title (Servant of the People)
· Political outsider becomes president
· Is against government corruption
Does this sound familiar? These are the same qualities we attribute to candidate Trump! So, this TV series is run alongside the sitting president (Petro Poroshenko) in Ukraine almost like a shadow government or at the very least a stark contrast to the current administration. An illusion is created using television of not only who Zelenskyy is but of what his presidency could be.
It is no surprise that when Zelenskyy decided to run for president most of his campaign was done virtually. I mean why not? It could be argued that the entire TV series WAS the campaign. In every sense, the simulation became the reality.
Starting 31 December 2018, Zelenskyy led a successful, almost entirely virtual presidential campaign to unseat incumbent President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, in just three to four months. Zelenskyy clearly won both the first round of elections on 31 March,[46] and the run-off election on 21 April 2019.[47] One of Zelenskyy's presidential campaign promises was that he would serve only one term in office (i.e., five years) - Wikipedia
It is true that the people of Ukraine elected a populist, nationalist, anti-corruption candidate. What is also true (and where I was fooled) that Zelenskyy’s image was created by George Soros and there was never any intent of doing away with corruption.

George Soros acknowledged in an interview with CNN that he actively contributed to the overthrow of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. “I created a foundation in Ukraine before it became independent from Russia. The foundation has functioned since then and has played an important role in current events,” explains the financier who established the International Renaissance Foundation, in Ukraine, as part of the Open Society Foundations, in April 1990.
The infamous foundation originally placed in Ukraine by the New World Order with the aim to assist the transition to democracy, to a market economy became a sort of parallel government immediately starting a series of projects in different areas without ever truly helping the country and ultimately giving the role of President of Ukraine, serving since May 2019, to a comedian/clown called Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who made his apparent fortune with a Ukrainian political satire comedy television series but was secretly financed by a friend of Soros, the Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky. – The Liberty Beacon
Would you look at that: Open Society Foundation, parallel government, and Igor Kolomoisky. What a mess of corruption. If you have read Patel Patriot’s Devolution series, you know of Igor Kolomoisky. If not, I highly recommend it. The entire illusion of Volodymyr Zelenskyy was created by George Soros. There was never any intent on ridding Ukraine of corruption.

nothing to do with Putin.
Gorbachev was the leader then.
Putin's problem is that like most prior leaders of Russia, he doesn't like people telling him what he doesn't want to hear. As a result, he's surrounded by people afraid to tell him when things aren't going to plan.
emotions. I will say I have seen video of Ukrainian soldiers firing Howitzers in the court yard of an apartment building. Any return fire would hammer the civilians. Much like we see the US has done by placing biolabs in residential neighborhoods of ANOTHER country. Basically using them as human shields.
It is clearly an action by
Putin to limit the harm and impact on the people.
He also s taking his time and more casualties than if he went scorched earth.
Well , getting statistics and updates from the UN is laughable. I Say we are fighting a Satanic luciferian globalist pee doh file Cabal, and I am to be swayed by the emotional plea of the corrupt Capital of them..
See this ....https://http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/6...
The question that remains is whether or not it's only the Azov Brigade that will try to continue resistance after the cities fall. Insurgency is a tough nut to crack, and the Ukraine civilians don't seem eager to just roll over and play dead puppy.
One area where I disagree with MacGregor is that the fallback will be an order to annihilate the cities. First, with power and supplies cut off, it's just a matter of waiting the remaining inhabitants out. In that case, patience pays off with less loss of life and equipment. Second, the penalty the Russian military has paid so far is in blood and iron. While MacGregor may discount a couple of thousand deaths, it depends on whether or not the Russian people feel it's worth it. Wading into the cities while there are still fighters, and with antitank mines on every street makes no sense. That strategy could result in casualties to match the Afghanistan debacle.

I have read that Putin has deliberately kept back the best troops. An ultra cautious approach just in case they are needed elsewhere in a hurry.
Tires on their military vehicles are Chinese made. Some brands are ok for economy private use, but not otherwise. But you could be right, old decayed stock.
That being said, Russia was not prepared for an extended insurgent operation. Putin's plans had been leaked, and the quick three day strike that was to capture Kiev and either force Zelensky to agree to Putin's terms, or replace him was sabotaged.
The Ukrainians knew the plan was to use rail as the means of logistic support, so they preemptively blew several key rail bridges to prevent that. Resupply by truck is laboriously slow, and the resupply vehicles are prime targets for the simple German Panzerfaust 3, leaving the UK NLAWS and the US Javelin to focus on the armored vehicles.
Expect Putin to also request help from India, Khazakstan, and Uzbekistan for resupply of munitions, since they use Russian weapons. India may waffle, or even refuse the request, as it attempts a balancing act to keep themselves on good graces with the US.
Despite Russian claims of just a few hundred casualties, or the Ukraine claims of 12,000 Russians dead, reliable numbers coming from independent military observers indicate Russian forces have taken well over 5,000 casualties. The worst part is that there have been a high number of experienced senior officers taken out by sniper teams, or by their vehicles being specifically targeted. Ukraine is getting some very good intelligence.
In any event, it's looking like this will be a drawn out affair that will bleed Russia dry of much of its conventional munitions. The problem has been exacerbated by what has been kept from Putin, which is high ranking military skimming off up to 35% of the munitions resupply budget. Those are the flag officers he's recently purged.
We’re clearly shown.
I also read that 18 year olds are being sent out to fight with 3 days of training I suspect that’s not enough time for them to be super effective with the high tech weapons. As the reporter who just returned from Ukraine on FOX stated Ukraine is already lost. Fake News perhaps but FOX has gotten things fairly accurate on occasion.
Putin has made it clear that he doesn’t want to eliminate Zelensky @nd take over all of Ukraine.
Putin’s playbook is similar to GWBush and Colin Powell. The difference is Ukraine had weapons of mass destruction and IRAQ didn’t. Also he will not allow this bordering country to be in NATO.
What amazes me is how incredibly poorly the military operation has been executed. Logistics planning has been severely deficient. Instead of relying on special operations troops, the primary thrust has been with conscripts!
What has become apparent is that much of the Russian equipment has spent too much time in storage. The tires of the wheeled vehicles show severe dry rot, and deflate. The primary thrust has been reliant on the T-72, though admittedly, upgraded designs of the fifty year old model.
What's odd, to me, is that the very competent special operations forces have been absent. Also bothering is the appearance of both Arctic and Eastern command elements in the conflict, which indicates the primary elements of the action lacked the experience to conduct operations effectively.
The strange elements of the Russian action may be an indication of how much their actions in Syria have drawn down their best forces. There are indications that their supply of PGMs has been exhausted, and they may begin to rely on saturation artillery attacks, while the Ukrainians are being supplied with high tech equipment.
If Putin is the last, best line against the Great Reset, then we are distinctly in trouble.
we block Apple , Google, PayPal , go fund me , FB,and porn hub to Russia.
Russia blocks oil and gas , wheat ,lumber , copper , lithium ,iron , fertilizer. Maybe we can make up the oil.... or Apple or google or Facebook or Pornhub can make up the difference...never mind the dynamo in Venezuela has our back. Just a standing ovation to those virtuous corporations. Can’t wait till the lovely corporations start feeding the starving Americans as the shelves empty and the prices sky rocket.
Maybe we should name a holiday for them. It will be real interesting when they do nothing when China invades Taiwan. Another thing the Uyghurs identify as Ukrainians.
