Economist Thomas Sowell once said, “When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment feels like discrimination.”
His comments were about affirmative action but apply to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president. The U.S. has supported Ukraine “bigly,” while having no direct security interest and being an ocean away, to the tune of $150 to $300 billion. More than all European countries. Combined.
Europe gave loans, and Biden sent our cash (out of habit, in nonsequential unmarked $100 bills). Europe has bought more Russian oil than they have given Ukraine. And somehow, we are the bad guys?
Trump is trying to make peace and be responsible with our money. We are out of the endless war business. Biden was compromised by Hunter and his grifting in Ukraine. Our CIA coup in 2014 entangled us. Biden gave him just enough money to keep the war going, with no possibility of winning.
The recent brush-up during Zelenskyy’s White House visit has been misreported by the legacy media. Trump acted remarkably cool, and if you take everything in context, Zelenskyy came off as an arrogant ingrate. With Zelenskyy being such a jerk, it kinda makes you wonder why Putin took four years to invade.
