So watching that "live" meeting at the Oval Office between Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on one side and US President Trump and US Vice President JD on the other, looked straight out of a Real Housewives or Keeping Up With the Kardashians set.
Not sure if it was a set up or not (sure looks like it though). What we can be sure of is that with no media, this would have been like any normal meeting, and of course with much more shouting and arguing and renegotiating.
Reversal
What is crazy is that the same people who said let's get out of the war in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan or other places are the same ones saying no to a route to end the war in Ukraine.
Bias
Okay, we know why. Trump and JD aren't nice people. We get it. Everyone knows.
Several nations, except Russia and her allies are now publicly saying we stand by Ukraine, we stand with President Zelenskyy and his refusal to wear a costume, a suit, only combat wear, army sweatshirt, cargo trousers and combat boots, until the war is over.
What No One Talks About
Now what we are missing here and no media outlet wants to say is that the American Government has been using American taxpayer money to support President Zelenskyy and his combat attire for the last three years -- to the tune of an estimated 175 billion dollars (US Congress Report), no other country comes close.
Australia for example is one of those publicly saying we are supporting Ukraine. Okay, now all of them have to use their own people's money. What is Australia's aid to Ukraine in the last three years? It is just 1% of the Americans.
Granted that US provides military equipment (like every other nation who can) to support in the war effort (I mean that's a no brainer). It does help certain American industries and certain people.
But as we have already pointed out, everyone used to hate it when America goes to war. Yet in this case, it's the complete opposite.
JD
President Zelenskyy called the US Vice President, as JD. Never seen that before.
We know someone makes money in all of these things and whenever anyone goes to war, and this war has been quietly going on now for three years. A few people have been silently making money all this time. But really in the end, it's the American people's money being spent, to the war efforts and towards a few people's pockets.
Whatever we feel about this just reflects our own political colors and personal lives.
To those who don't really care much about Trump and JD, this is just an episode of The Real Housewives of New York.
To the people all over the world who have contributed nothing to the war in Ukraine, your social media posts of "we stand with Ukraine" means a lot to the people of Ukraine. But it will really mean something if you can now take over and put up what the American taxpayers have been silently putting up (an equivalent amount of 58.3 billion dollars to help fund the war efforts of Ukraine every year).
Here is the breakdown:
