Zelenskyy gave a speech where he basically asked everyone from American President Biden, to the American Congress, to Americans, to American Idol judges to do more.
Zelenskyy, speaking to U.S. lawmakers from Kyiv, where he has chosen to remain even as Russian forces move on the city, thanked President Biden for his "personal involvement" and "sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine," and the United States for the aid it has provided. "However, now it is true in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Europe, I call on you to do more," Zelenskyy said.
By more, he specifically means a no-fly Zone and some equipment (such as fighter jets) that would be capable of really turning the tide. Let's be clear here folks. If the Ukrainians were doing as well as many people make them out to be doing, then Zelenskyy wouldn't be literally going around begging for help.
To see someone who has been such an inspiration, showing true courage, and true leadership have to suck up to people who would rather not get their hands dirty here is sort of a sad thing to see.

Sounds like Ch is rootin' for Putin again, siding with him against the assessments of our own intelligence agencies.
Straight talk Ch:
Zelensky needs stronger weponry to counter Russia's air power, which, however, has not done as well as one would think.
Biden himself killed the jet transfer. He projects weakness yet again.
Biden in counjunction with the Pentagon and our NATO and other allies felt that Putin might use the supply of jets to strike with tactical nuclear weapons.
Personally, I am FOR supplying the jets, but Biden and others may know some things we don't.
It's been reported that it was Biden himself, not DoD, who killed it because he was afraid it would provoke a greater war.
Whatever "has been reported," when Biden speaks, there may be some clarification of this.
Sixty-nine percent of voters believe the nation is on the wrong track under President Joe Biden, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday."
Biden's beg back better plan has failed Americans

"current policy trajectory is likely to lead to stagflation, with average unemployment and inflation both averaging over 5 percent over the next few years — and ultimately to a major recession," he added.

Wtf??????
Sloppy Joe won't even defend the integrity and sovereignty of our OWN borders. Why does this comic think he'll defend Ukraine's?
Let Europe defend itself for fucking once. If Magoo fucks up we end up in WW fucking THREE.
Sounds like Ch is rootin' for Putin again, siding with him against the assessments of our own intelligence agencies.
I am rootin for Zelenskyy Reverend.
If you listen to Zelenskyy (which you apparently don't) you hear him plainly say that the United States needs to do more and that his expectations would be that Biden step up and be what the world expects of an American President.
I find it interesting that you say you are pulling for Ukraine, but when their leader gives a speech where he makes a challenge to Biden (which Biden will not step up to) - you ultimately side with Biden.
Which is actually siding with Putin.
Why would you do that?
To see someone who has been such an inspiration, showing true courage
And Lil Schitty still supports Trump's genius and roots against the US.....very sad...
Zelensky is begging biden to start leading. But biden is too fearful. He'll do more half measures until Zelensky is dead.
You have become an isolationist.
Wtf??????????????
Trumpism stage four
Because he doesn't want to start another world war .
But fortunately he's not fucking crazy like you.
Trumpism stage four
Funny thing about that "Trumpism stage four" Dunning-Kruger alky.
The number of times Putin invaded ANYONE during the Trump administration remains at ZERO.
Under 0linsky he took Crimea. Now under Magoo he's taking Ukraine.
In between -
Nothing.
Neville Chamberlain didn't either. His inaction made it worse. Roger wants history to repeat itself.
Alky said it is "insane" to provide "Migs".
So Roger...
Zelenskyy wants a no fly zone and some fighter Jets - he asks Biden for them and demands that he steps up as leader of the free world.
Putin does not want a no fly zone or anyone to send fighter jets to Ukraine. He warns Joe that he will kick his ass if he complies with Zelensky.
Do you stand with Zelensky?
or do you stand with Putin?
Should Biden listen to Zelenskyy or Putin?
Neville Biden ,, yep, it fits
Do you stand with Zelensky?"
Yep
or do you stand with Putin?
Nope
Should Biden listen to Zelenskyy or Putin?
Zelenskyy
No to Putin.
Biden, nope
Over one billion dollars of military support this week to help Ukraine
Anti aircraft weapons are drones that can destroy tanks and weapons.
Every thing short of Word War Three.
Because they need more help you think they are welfare queens.
Biden is bubbling thru a weak, feckless nonsensical retreat of a speech.
God, if he would just stop making up words.
Roger, try writing a post all on your own.
No questions .
Biden , will not take questions, .
Why not?
He asked for the no fly zone but he said he needed more weapons to shoot down aircraft.
But you can't comprehend what he actually meant.
The president is sending antiaircraft weapons
You can't separate your philosophies from reality....

Biden is suddenly pro 1st Amendment.
Cool.
85% of Americans (including 88% of Democrats and 85% of Republicans) want to keep strict economic sanctions on Russia.77% of all adults (including 81% of Democrats and 75% of Republicans) support keeping large numbers of U.S. forces in NATO countries near Ukraine.69% of Americans (including 80% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans) favor admitting thousands of Ukrainian refugees into the U.S.
Very few people want a no fly zone because unlike you they understand it is not worth the risk of a war!
Made his case that The US is not at war.
"Very few people want a no fly zone because unlike you they understand it is not worth the risk of a war!"

Well, are those people the Ukraine President and the people of Ukraine?

The Tally-Bohn got $84 BILLION MORE and didn't even have to ask for it.
Precisely:
The corporate media and Democrats are whipping up a moral panic around Ukraine that could deliver us right into World War III, all in an effort to win the 2022 midterms — and it looks as if more and more Republicans are falling for it.
Past is prologue, so let’s look at the recent past as a means to understand what’s happening.
Five years ago, all in an effort to overthrow a duly elected President Trump, Democrats, the media, and the Deep State fabricated the Russia Collusion Hoax.
When that failed, the murder of George Floyd was used as an excuse to burn and loot a countless number of Democrat-run cities.
When that failed, the China Flu was exploited to smash small businesses, dehumanize Trump voters, and stunt children’s growth using masks.
In all three cases, over a mere five years, the media and Democrats manipulated events into eras of neo-McCarthyism.
To begin with, there were the purity tests…
You were either against Trump or with Russia rigging our elections. You supported the domestic terrorists in Black Lives Matter or were a racist. You were either willing to mask little kids and destroy the livelihoods of vaccine skeptics and small businesses, or you were a serial killer.
These purity tests came with false idols we were required to worship: Robert Mueller, George Floyd, and Anthony Fauci.
This is what happens when you have a political party incapable of governing. The Democrat party’s elitism has cost them the working class. Additionally, almost every city they govern is a Third World-like Detroit or headed in that direction. They want gay porn taught in schools, mentally ill men sharing locker rooms with our daughters, kids masked forever, high gas prices, open borders… I could go on.
So, in an effort to distract from that, we’ve been hit with three neo-McCarthyism eras in a row, three moral panics, but number four is by far the most terrifying.

Who said that?
Breitbart.
Oh.
If our Air Force sends aircraft to shoot down Russian aircraft, over a foreign nation, it's an act of war.
The President as the commander in chief, he has the authority to shoot down Russian aircraft. It could be a nuclear war!
But do you really want a European war like in World War Two???
We are using everything but starting a war.
But because you really hate The President of the United States of America, you are in effect, undermining the United States of America and for which it stands.
You spent years saying the same thing to me.
Even if we succeed and get rid of Putin, you will never give him credit.
Ch says

It's good because it's true.
The Afghanistan surrender signaled to Putin that we no longer had a tolerance for armed conflict at any level. So Putin capitalizes on this very obvious fact and the whole world is shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you.
This ain't fucking rocket science. Couple President Magoo with 25 years of NATO encroachment on Russia's border and this outcome is as obvious as death, taxes, and the sun rising in the east in the morning.

World War III 'may have already started' with Russian invasion, Zelenskyy says
March 16, 2022, 9:50 AM PDT
Russia may have already started World War III, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with NBC News on Wednesday.
The outcome of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has yet to be decided, but it's possible the decision has already begun a path to a full-scale global war, Zelenskyy told “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt when asked whether he understood concerns from President Joe Biden about escalating provocations.
"Nobody knows whether it may have already started. And what is the possibility of this war if Ukraine will fall, in case Ukraine will? It's very hard to say," Zelenskyy said. "And we've seen this 80 years ago, when the second world war had started ... nobody would be able to predict when the full scale war would start."
He further emphasized that the outcome of this war has the "whole civilization at stake."
Shut the fuck UP with your WWIII strawmen Dunning-Kruger alky.
No one wants WWIII. Not with Magoo in charge.
Idiot.
He asked for the no fly zone but he said he needed more weapons to shoot down aircraft.
But you can't comprehend what he actually meant.
He said what he said Roger.
Zelenskyy is not a guy who nuances his meaning.
He asked for us to "do more" which includes establishing a no-fly Zone. He asked Biden to step up and BE the leader that the world expects from the United States President. He demanded more of America.
I listened EXACTLY to what he said, Roger.
There is no different interpretation of his words.
You are not smarter than Zelenskyy Roger.
You are not smarter than Putin.
You are not smart enough to pretend that you have awareness of some hidden message here.
You either stand with what Zelenskyy wants?
Or you stand with what Putin wants?
Which is it Roger?
Roger...
Putin is demanding that the US and NATO refrain from setting up a no-fly Zone.
Do you stand with Putin?
President Biden announced Wednesday that the U.S. will provide Ukraine with an additional $800 million in military aid, including direct transfers of anti-aircraft systems and drones to help the Ukrainian military defend itself.
Why it matters: The announcement, which came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered an emotional address to Congress pleading for more assistance, brings the total amount of military aid to Ukraine authorized in the past week to over $1 billion.
Biden directed an $200 million in military aid to be sent to Ukraine from his presidential drawdown authority on Saturday.The rest of the funding will come from a $13.6 billion aid package to Ukraine that Congress passed last week, which was divided between humanitarian and security assistance.
Details: The U.S. will directly transfer the following equipment to the Ukrainian military as part of the latest package, according to a White House fact sheet:
800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems2,000 Javelin anti-armor missiles1,000 light anti-armor weapons6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems100 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (armed drones)7,000 small arms for both military and civilian use (100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns and 400 shotguns)Over 20 million rounds of ammunition25,000 sets of body armor25,000 helmets
The big picture: The U.S. provided $650 million in military aid to Ukraine in 2021, more than it had in the previous eight years that Ukraine had been fighting a war against Russian-backed forces in the east.
After Russia's large-scale invasion began, the Biden administration surged an additional $350 million into Ukraine."We're going to give Ukraine the arms to fight and defend themselves through all the difficult days ahead," Biden pledged on Wednesday.
What they're saying: "I want to thank President Zelensky for his passionate message this morning. I listened to it in the private residence. He was convincing and [it was] a significant speech," Biden said in his announcement.
"Now, I want to be honest with you. This could be a long and difficult battle. But he American people will be steadfast in our support and the people of Ukraine in the face of Putin's immoral, unethical attacks on civilian populations," he continued."We're united in our abhorrence of Putin's depraved onslaught and we're going to continue to have their backs as they fight for freedom, democracy, their very survival."
What to watch: Zelensky and bipartisan members of Congress have urged Biden to send advanced anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine in the absence of a NATO "no-fly" zone.
Acknowledging Zelensky's request, Biden said the U.S. has "identified" and is "helping Ukraine acquire longer-range anti-missile systems, and the munitions for those systems."That's likely a reference to the S-300 anti-aircraft systems possessed by NATO allies in Eastern Europe.
That's why I stand for the President and Zelensky against Putin.
You list Putin because you admire dictators like Trump.
The way Biden was putting our executive orders lady year, he's the dictator. Not Trump.
You are following orders from Putin.
Putin is demanding that the US and NATO refrain from setting up a no-fly Zone.

That's why I stand for the President and Zelensky against Putin.
You and every other leftist asshat who's wearing a Ukraine flag pin in their show of 'Solidarity' (READ: empty virtue signaling).
Let the EU figure this shit out. No more US blood and treasure while the Euro-weenies sip their chardonnay and jerk each other off.
We're ass-fucking-deep in our OWN problems. And with Magoo in charge we're basically fucked anyway. So we have no place getting involved in Ukraine's shit show.
If Ukraine were part of NATO it would be a different story, but they're not, even if the Cum-Allah thinks they are.

Our age spotted old geezer of a President...

I will just tell the idiots that you will start WWIII and I am a scared.
Putin played with him!
NATO countries don't pay dues they agree to pay a certain percentage of their GNP toward their own national defense. Some did raise their defense spending during Trump's term but at least some of their rationale was based upon Trump's bizarre affinity for Putin and his constant threats to withdraw from NATO. Trump did continue some sanctions against Russia that had been put in place under the previous administrations and added a few more. But he never mentions that it was Congress that passed the major sanctions bill targeting Russia's energy and defense sectors on a bipartisan basis because they, too, were concerned about Trump's coziness with Putin. He signed the sanctions bill reluctantly, calling it "seriously flawed." As for the pipeline, his "stopping" it is wildly overstated. The U.S. and others were concerned about that pipeline long before Trump had ever heard of it. Trump did issue sanctions against the builders of the pipeline toward the end of his term, compelling one company to withdraw, but the job was finished by a Russian company. The vast majority of the pipeline was built during the Trump administration. When Biden came in they tried a different tack and waived some sanctions while adding on some others in the hopes of getting a diplomatic breakthrough with Germany on the issue. The invasion of Ukraine finally did the job and now the pipeline is kaput.
So, in other words, Trump is full of it as usual.
Still, he is in a bind on this issue. Regardless of his protestations to the contrary, everyone knows Trump is soft on Russia
Get rid of people who don't agree with is.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin (Wikimedia Commons)
The former president keeps telling on himself. During an appearance Sunday on Jeanine Pirro’s radio show on WABC, Donald Trump expressed, yet again, his sympathy for Russia’s reigning kleptocrat.
"He's got a big ego," Trump said of Vladimir Putin. “I think what's going on now is hard. I understand he's gotten rid of a lot of his generals."
They wanted to rebuild the Soviet Union. That’s what this is all about to a large extent. And then you say, what’s the purpose of this? They had a country. You could see it was a country where there was a lot of love and we’re doing it because, you know, somebody wants to make his country larger or he wants to put it back the way it was.
Sympathy, yes, but there’s more.
Sympathy is practical.
Whenever Trump is asked to comment on Putin’s 2014 capture of the Crimean peninsula or his invasion of Ukraine now, he gives these odd statements – odd because they never feature principles of freedom, sovereignty or any other aspect of the postwar international order.
His attention is drawn, instead, to strength and weakness, power and powerlessness. In that binary worldview, Putin (and by proxy Trump) is always strong, Putin’s enemies (and by proxy Trump’s enemies) are always weak. Good and bad, right and wrong, mean nothing. What matters is what can be done immediately to satiate insatiable need.
Fascism is practical like that.
Made his case that The US is not at war.
"Very few people want a no fly zone because unlike you they understand it is not worth the risk of a war!"
Roger posted twice since the above saying Biden has not taken the US to war.
