As air raid sirens fill the air of Kyiv and Russian trucks head for Donbas, Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, is crying like a little girl over NATO’s refusal to protect him and his country.

He attended the annual meeting of the Munich Security Conference and insulted the people he wants as allies.
He demanded, “What are you waiting for?”
I laugh at him. Who made the United States his servant? Why should our soldiers spill their blood for him? Who is he?
Ukraine may be a small country of 41 million people. (Make that 39 million now that Russia has officially recognized two county-sized regions as breakaway countries.) But Ukraine leads the league in corruption, doesn’t it?
Two years ago, President Donald John Trump asked him to investigate Biden and his crackhead son for corruption.
Instead, Zelensky let Congress impeach Trump without protest.
And now Zelensky wants our help?
OK. We’ll send Hunter Biden. Just tell him there’s a ton of crack inside each tank and he will Rambo his way to Moscow.
Two years ago, Zelensky was a mouthy little man in an interview with Time magazine and three European news outlets.
Time reported, “The president explained that, despite getting caught up in the impeachment inquiry now unfolding in Washington, D.C., Ukraine still needs the support of the United States.
“Otherwise his country does not stand much of a chance, Zelensky said, in its effort to get back the territory Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014, starting with the Crimean Peninsula. Nor can Ukraine rely on steady financial support from abroad if President Donald Trump and his allies continue to signal to the world that Ukraine is corrupt, Zelensky said. ‘When America says, for instance, that Ukraine is a corrupt country, that is the hardest of signals.'”
Boo hoo hoo.
OK, we will stop calling Ukraine a corruptistan, while we watch Putin devour Kyiv and the rest of the totally-not-corrupt country.
I do feel for Ukraine. 6 million people starved to death in the Holomodor in which Stalin deliberately cut off the nation’s food supply. People cannibalized their babies.
But we have a border crisis of our own.
The shade Zelensky cast two years ago carries a price. Trump supporters are staying on the sidelines this time.
What did he say?
Time reported, “During the interview in his office in Kyiv, the comedian-turned-president denied, as he has done in the past, that he and Trump ever discussed a decision to withhold American aid to Ukraine for nearly two months in the context of a quid pro quo involving political favors, which are now at the center of the impeachment inquiry in Congress.
“But he also pushed back on Trump’s recent claims about corruption in Ukraine, and questioned the fairness of Trump’s decision to freeze American aid. ‘If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us,’ he said. ‘I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo.'”
Trump by the way knew nothing about the delay in releasing the funds. Zelensky knew that. He was playing politics.
Zelensky was oddly silent about Biden bragging to the Council for Foreign Relations nearly two years earlier about withholding aid to Ukraine unless it fired the prosecutor who was investigating the company that paid off his son.
Now Biden is president and Putin is rolling in and no one will stop him because Donald Trump is gone.
Zelensky wanted Trump out. OK, Trump’s out. Enjoy Biden.
And by Biden, I mean Putin because Donald Trump was the only one stopping him from taking over Ukraine.
