Ukraine’s Zelensky arriving in US….to pitch WWIII.

Walt Zlotow, West Suburban Peace Coalition, Glen Ellyn IL, 26 September 24

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long been the most dangerous man in the world.

Since the US provoked Russian invasion of Ukraine 31 months ago, he’s been begging, cajoling, indeed demanding the US and UK allow him to attack deep into Russia with US and UK long range missiles. He’s got both in his weapons arsenal to which the US and UK still have strings attached tying them to Russian targets in Ukraine. Russian President Putin has made it abundantly clear that strikes deep into Russia signal the West is at war with Russia, requiring swift, military response.

But Zelensky remains unconcerned that his war strategy may get him incinerated along with the rest of us if a single nuke goes off from his deranged escalation plan.

Astonishingly, Zelensky has already got newbie UK PM Keir Starmer on board in. Starmer traveled to the US recently to pitch Zelensky’s plan to use the UK Storm Shadow missiles. Starmer needs US approval since his Storm Shadows contain US components and require US guidance data to hit choice Russian targets.

To his credit, Biden publicly rebuffed Starmer’s pitch even before their September 13 talks were concluded. Starmer scurried back to Downing Street disappointed.

But undaunted, Ukraine’s Mr. ‘Let’s Provoke WWIII’ is traveling 4,668 miles from Kyiv to New York to continue lobbying Biden for their use at the UN’s 79th General Assembly meeting this week.
In a bizarre twist, Biden’s State Department is ready to sign off, possibly on their own demise, while Defense has demurred. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has publicly advised that long range missile strikes will not achieve any strategic benefit, especially since Russia has already moved over 90% of prime targets beyond range of even the long range UK Storm Shadows and US ATACMS.

 Austin knows the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is lost so why risk WWIII. Somehow, top diplomat Tony Blinken remains in denial.

Let’s hope President Biden doesn’t weaver in his sensible pushback to all out war with Russia. A dwindling number of we Americans still recall hoping to survive the angst of living thru the Missiles of October during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Sixty-two years later, we inexplicably must deal with the angst of surviving the Missiles of September.
