When casting about for someone to blame, people rarely look in the mirror. From Moon of Alabama at moonofalabama.org:
Simon Shuster is Time’s senior correspondent for Ukraine and Russia.
For writing laudatory pieces about (former) president Zelenski Shuster received extraordinary access to the Ukrainian’s president’s office. A later portrait by Shuster depicted Zelenski as delusional. In his latest piece he asserts that the Biden administration never intended for Ukraine to win:
When Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago, President Joe Biden set three objectives for the U.S. response. Ukraine’s victory was never among them.
Preventing a war between Russia and NATO, not Ukraine winning, was one of Joe Biden’s three aims.
That is why, throughout the war in Ukraine, the U.S., together with Germany, had blocked the accession of Ukraine to NATO.
In September Zelenski’s last attempt with Biden to gain NATO access ended without success:
[Zelenski’s] appeals got a mixed reception. On the question of Ukraine’s NATO membership, Biden would not budge.
That had always and will always be the case.
Despite having been rejected again and again Zelenski used the hope of gaining NATO (and EU) membership for Ukraine to market the war he was waging.
He got his shekel buckets, $4 million dollar car, Paris shopping spree for wifey, under Joe Joe Brandon of the CPUSA.
All of that is over now, go to the oligarchs who run the place for handouts.
Let’s review, Ukraine one time zone, Russia eleven.
