The title maligns hawks, who are noble, soaring birds. Nobody at the NATO Summit was noble or soaring, and the much better term would have been Chicken Hawks. Nobody at the NATO Summit stands to lose anything from the Ukraine-Russia War and many of them stand to profit handsomely. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Bloomberg is just out with a devastating behind-the-scenes account of a hot-headed Zelensky at the NATO summit in Vilnius, and the growing Western backlash in the face of his obvious frustration and what’s being seen as ingratitude for the steady flow of billions of dollars in arms to Kiev.
Apparently even the mainstream media agrees with our own assessment of the Ukrainian leader having thrown a “tantrum” as he complained about the “weak” and “absurd” NATO stance on Ukraine’s membership. The blistering tweet he issued in English while en route to Lithuania exposed cracks in the alliance, as Bloomberg highlights in the opening of its very revealing Wednesday piece:
Volodymyr Zelenskiy was running hot ahead of his sit-down with NATO leaders on Tuesday evening. The Ukrainian president had been angered earlier in the day by what he said was an “absurd” reluctance to give his country a clear timeline on membership.
That outburst in turn riled the partners who have funneled billions of dollars of weaponry and aid into Ukraine’s defense against the Russian invasion — the US had been given no warning before Zelenskiy unleashed his attack on social media.
But, but, but, muh indispensable Hegemony Cricket under the egalitarian utopia builders the CPUSA?
Sad trombone is always so sad.
You might want to put on a suit and say Thank You for all the rump vassal free lunch handouts and cannon fodder.
zelensky may learn the wisdom of kissinger’s words that ‘it may be dangerous to be an enemy of the u. s., but deadly to be a friend of the u. s.’ very soon. particularly if he does not shut his mouth and quit complaining.
