        He was a socialist revolutionary that overthrew the western backed monarchy and refused ro budge. His cardinal crime that hillary-assassin ordered his death from was to seriously start organization of a gold-based African currency and African union.

        This was a major threat to anglo-burn dominace, leverage, and shitfuckery in the region.

        Basicaly he threatened the world with African peace, prosperity and independence, throwing off the yoke of colonialism. This earned him to be hunted down by basically ISIS which murdered him by shoving a bayonet up his ass, repeatedly.

        This cumulated with the infamous planet-hillary We came. We saw. He died.

      Is there a master list somewhere with every broken treaty, what the treaty was, and how the Us broke it?

      It's been obvious for quite some time that they were going to do this since Zelensky made various statements in the past about how the West should not disappoint Ukraine. And then there's that direct threat to Europe he made.

      Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

        Oh sure when I say we shouldn't give the self avowed nazis guns because they'll use them to do nazi shit after the war I'm a Russian shill but when Zelensky threatens other nations with it if they stop funding him, crickets.

      I thought a stab in the back narrative would happen, guess Zelensky is trying to get in front of it before, yknow, the ukrainian nazis blame him

    The very fact that someone feels the need to say that they are confident they will not be betrayed already indicates that they will, in fact, be betrayed.

    Zelensky, you need to get your ass out of Ukraine ASAP if you plan to end 2024 while still breathing. The standard fascist "stabbed in the back by Jewish conspiracy" propaganda narrative is being woven as we speak. You were only useful to the nazis when you were bringing in foreign aid. Now America is laser-focused on aiding Israel.

    So I know gambling is bourgeois decadence, but let's place our bets on the country he'll escape to when American funding dries up and Russia overruns Ukraine. I'm placing my bets on Poland.

      I'm thinking he'll come infest my home shithole of kkkanada . There's a large amount of ukranian nazis, easy to keep on a short leash, but not directly in america itself. If it does happen I hope he like, gets hit by an average montreal driver.

        It was a group of Canadian-Ukrainian nazis who came up with the "holodomor" term btw. They didn't actually create the myth itself, but they're the ones who revived it and gave it a vaguely holocaust-sounding name.

      Well canada is a safe bet because they're known to be filled with ukrainian nationalists, but my dark horse is the US itself, specifically Miami, FL.

      Gambling can be used effectively. Numbers games were often used as a lender of last resort in poor communities, with numbers readers sometimes even giving wins to people in need rather than who had the correct number. It can quickly devolve into obsession and addiction for some though, so it’s not an ideal, rather a decent survival method within marginalized communities.
