UKRAINE: Is Zelensky A Hero Or Is He Deluded? By Fani Kayode by Kuginzi: 9:51pm On Mar 20, 2022
I deplore and condemn the barbaric killings and vicious barbarism that has been unleashed against a mainly defenceless and helpless civilian population in Ukraine.

Yet the bitter truth is that all that President Volodymyr Zelensky has to do to stop the relentless slaughter of his people is to state clearly and categorically that Ukraine will NEVER join NATO, that Ukraine will NEVER allow foreign military bases on her soil and that Ukraine will MAINTAIN her neutrality like Sweden and Finland.

He also has to allow the Russian-speaking people of Donetsk and Eastern Ukraine to exercise their right of self-determination and either form their own independent country or become part of Russia.

Finally, he has to renounce Ukraine’s claim to Crimea and accept the fact that this strategically-placed seaport and region is now, and will always be, part and parcel of Russia.

Instead of offering these guarantees and taking these steps, he is giving fine speeches to western Parliaments whilst his people are being slaughtered and butchered in their churches, offices, homes and houses and whilst his villages, towns and cities are being bombed, burnt, bombarded and utterly destroyed.

I am constrained to ask, what type of man is this? Is he delusional or does he just pretend to be?

I cannot possibly describe him as a hero.

I say this because a hero HELPS his people, does what is in their BEST interest and does all that is REASONABLE and NECESSARY to guarantee their comfort, well-being, safety and security.

A hero does NOT goad and provoke the Russian bear or spit in its face in a reckless and dangerous display of open defiance and contempt.

A hero does that which is WISE and politically EXPEDIENT in order to secure and protect his people and to defend his nation’s borders.

A hero does NOT allow neo-colonial foreigners and greedy imperialists, disciples and architects of the New World Order, bellicose and expansionist Western military alliances and perfidious and cowardly Western Governments to fool, cajole and push his people into fighting a war that they cannot possibly win or to indulge in an unnecessary conflict with a neighbour that has a massive and all-powerful conventional army and more nuclear weapons than any other nation in the world.

A hero does not sacrifice his people on the altar of ego or as an offering to the Western powers.

I blame Zelensky and his Western allies and friends for this unfolding tragedy, for every drop of Ukrainian blood that is being spilt and for the untold hardship and suffering that the great people of Ukraine are being subjected to.

The only heroes here are the Ukrainian people themselves who have been saddled with an irresponsible, weak, egotistical, blind, reckless, stubborn and vainglorious President that cannot differentiate between being an actor/comedian on the stage and being the President of a great and noble nation of 40 million people who are depending on him to keep them safe and who look up to him to fight for their collective interest.

Despite all the western propaganda, in this respect, Zelensky has failed woefully and miserably because in the end of the day Ukraine will be brought to her knees and utterly crushed, shattered and broken.

All this could have been avoided if her President had displayed a little humility and restraint from the outset and if he had he not opted to dance to the tune of Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron and all his other western friends who later deserted him.

What a shame!

Never trust a man or woman that urges you to go into a war or to keep fighting a war that you cannot possibly win.

Trust only those that seek the path of peace and that urge you to make reasonable compromises and necessary concessions.

Can someone kindly whisper this wise counsel into the tiny ears of Volodymyr Zelensky who appears to have fallen in love with the applause and praises of the West and who refuses to do that which needs to be done to save his people from untold hardship and suffering?

CONCLUDED.

What do you expect when the western media keep calling him a hero, clapping for him In their national assemblies as if that would solve the problem, the same people that are not ready to join you directly to fight the war against Russia, by now one would think zelensky should be back to his senses but no he rather keep making speeches while his innocent country men and women keep dying undecided undecided undecided

More than deluded. Even Germany is saying they are now concerned about the use of the hypersonic missiles but this guy is hell bent of pushing everyone to world war. When his country is bombed to the stone age, he will understand.

I hope he has the right advisers. If he does then he needs to listen to them.

shocked


This is his short-fused opinion.

Considering that his loyalty trigger is food, will FFK have this same opinion if Zelensky invites him for dinner tomorrow at the Ritz Paris?

Zelensky has every moral justification to preserve the dignity of his beliefs, likewise, Putin has every reason to reinforce the grasps of his controls.

It is not in NwaAmaikpe or FFK's place to advice either of them because we have bigger items on our own plates.
I am a raving lunatic with more widows than I can handle to deliver sexual succour to, while FFK has not just an ex-wife but also EFCC to battle with.

Why should Ukraine be our concern?
Let me stop here because the fear of hammer is the begining of wisdom.

FFK the mad man. Not surprised. Those demonizing Zelensky are dumb!




Putin can be likened to a rapist who raped an 8 month baby and claims it was indecent dressing that made him to rape.

What is seductive in an 8 month baby? You left all the so called 'indecent dressed adults' to attack a vulnerable baby that can't defend herself.

You claim you invaded Ukraine because of NATO, why did you not attack the 5 countries that border Russia? Why Ukraine that is not a member of NATO?
You claim you are liberating Donetsk and Lugansk, why are you invading the capital of Ukraine? Why not limit the invasion to Donetsk and Lugansk?

USA is close to Russia. Alaska owned by USA shares a border with Russia.

Putin only wants to recreate the defunct USSR. That's his objective. But he will fail woefully.

Zelensky, a clown? Some of you will allow a Rapist likened to Putin to invade your family.

Defending your family is now the new definition of clown?
Smh

Ffk has said it all, zelenesky knows for sure he can't win this war, if his resilience increases, more sophisticated weapons would be deployed by Russia. Just like the hypersonic missiles.
Leave those British parliament and their motivation.
The battle gound is not us or us or even Russia, the battle ground is Ukraine. Take it or leave you'll suffer the most loss and those your western allies would commercialize everything they can in a bid to help you.
I don't know who your advisers are but isn't it obvious whatever decision your taking now ain't helping.
Compromise today so you can stand a chance tomorrow.
It's what china did with us monopoly.
Today the us dare not touch them, not even sanction.
