Volodymyr Zelensky has joined the growing list of foreigners campaigning for Kamala Harris.
No doubt the media mavens of the transnational elite will call for immediate impeachment of Harris for her collusion with Zelensky to interfere in our election.
Yeah, right. Sure, it’s true that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been funneling uncounted billions into Ukraine and that much of that money has been sucked up by corrupt politicians and their buddies, But this is the right sort of corruption, so nobody in the Establishment is bothered by it at all.
Zelensky criticizes Trump and JD Vance for their views on Ukraine
Zelensky’s comments were published upon his arrival in the US, where he is expected to attend the UN General Assembly in New York and meet with President Joseph Biden at the White House.

On the other hand, I have some advice for my not-so-good friend Zelensky: STFU, dude. Trump could be the next President of the United States, J.D. Vance the Vice President, and pissing them off and all Trump’s supporters is pretty darn stupid. We are already skeptical that indefinitely supporting a war with no end in sight is in the United States’ interest, and Zelenksy mucking about in our elections reinforces that skepticism.
In his harshest criticism yet of the Republican presidential nominee, the Ukrainian president also described Trump’s running mate JD Vance as “dangerous” and “too radical”.
“His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice,” Mr Zelensky said of Mr Vance in an interview with the New Yorker magazine before he flew to the US to present his “Victory Plan” to the White House this week. “But I believe that we have shielded America from total war.”
Mr Vance has been criticised by supporters of Ukraine for pushing a peace deal that consolidates the Kremlin’s control over captured territory.
Mr Zelensky said such a deal would disrespect the sacrifices that Ukrainian soldiers have made, appease Vladimir Putin and encourage other dictators to invade their neighbours.
The idea that Ukraine has shielded the West from Russian aggression is absurd. That is a talking point, not a serious analysis.
Mr Zelensky’s intervention in US politics comes with polls showing Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, building a slender lead over Mr Trump ahead of the election in November.
Mr Zelensky began his tour of the US on Sunday with a visit to a weapons factory in Pennsylvania producing 155mm artillery shells to be sent to the frontlines in Ukraine, telling employees that “the democratic world can prevail” because of their work.
He is due to meet Mr Biden in the White House on Thursday to present his “Victory Plan”, which he will also share with Ms Harris and Trump.
European countries have been quite bold of late in telling American voters what to do and even what we should be allowed to say online. I don’t know about you, but every time they attack Trump or demand that I and other Americans shut up, it annoys me more than a little. That’s why I believe that Trump should threaten NATO with the US leaving.
I have a very pragmatic view of the Ukraine war: if supporting the war helps the US, then we should do it; if it doesn’t, then we shouldn’t. Ukraine is no longer in danger of being swallowed by Russia, so our war aims to prevent this has been achieved. Russia presents no threat to NATO militarily now, if it ever did in the past decade or two, and the last thing we need is to admit the corrupt country into the alliance.
Zelensky is here to propose precisely that, among other things. To which I say NO! The last thing we need is to threaten World War III over Ukrainian borders. We have open borders right here to close.
I was a supporter of helping Ukraine when Russia was headed to Kyiv; now, not so much. If they want to fight it, it is Europe’s war, although I think it is a stalemate and a waste of lives.
NATO was key to protecting our interests during the Cold War, but now that Europe is trying to dictate the terms of American politics, it is more of a millstone than anything else. European countries could defend themselves if they spent as much on their military as we do. Actually, they need not even do that, since they don’t need to project power in the Pacific. Defending their territory would be relatively easy if they wanted to.
The only reason for the U.S. to keep defending Europe is to exercise political power over the countries there–to advance our interests. The opposite is now happening–they are messing with our politics in order to empower their transnational governing elite, and we should want none of that.
The Democrats love to have Europe messing around in politics because they share the same vision–they even encourage Europe to push its censorship agenda.
When Trump wins, it is time to strike back. The last thing we need is to be bullied by sclerotic countries surrendering to Islamists.
