Peloni: How crazy would the Americans have to be to follow the clarion call of the man who saw his own nation sewn into an ever reducing Rump, who betrayed his own constitution on a number of details not the least of which was his own re-election, and who has an ever insatiable appetite for endless war. Indeed, as Zelensky is running out of Ukrainian youths who might be shoved into an unmarked vehicle and delivered to the Ukrainian front, he now countenances that this lack of available cannon fodder should be filled with the youth of America.
He also wants Putin replaced

I think his summary is fair enough. But it is not the real text. Zelensky really thinks he can get NATO (led by the United States) to commit air power and troops to fight in Ukraine. That is why he is campaigning for Kamala Harris in swing states, including Pennsylvania, because he knows that the American troops cannot be dispatched until after Harris wins the election.

How do you force Russia to the negotiating table, you ask? You give Ukraine lots of long range missiles to pummel Russian territory, destroying infrastructure and causing immense civilian casualties. Here, again, there is a subtext. Putin is weak and unpopular, the Russian state is crumbling, and if things get worse he will be ousted from power, opening the way for a more reasonable and chastised Russia.
Zelensky and others in Ukraine, such as Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, and their friends in the UK, perhaps some at the NSC, promote the idea of an overthrow of Putin supporting the thesis by citing the case of former Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who died in a jet plane explosion in August, 2023 and who led a “revolt” against Putin. Prigozhin, a visible leader of the Wagner group, an illicit billionaire, and a “friend” of Putin led a squad of malcontent Wagnerians into an invasion of Russian territory, after Prigozhin claimed that in the battle for Bakhmut the regular army shortchanged him and allowed hundreds of his men to be sacrificed, lacking air cover and artillery support. His forces were welcomed, it seems, in Rostov-on-Don, although coming off a victory in Bakhmut made them national heroes, not exactly revolutionaries. Starting a military drive to Moscow, Putin was prepared to destroy Prigozhin and his forces, but Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko, brokered a deal. Prigozhin did not stick to the deal and on one of his forays in Moscow, boarded his airplane that apparently exploded in flight, not far from Russia’s capital.

The other candidate for overthrowing Putin is the late Alexei Navalny. He represented the left opposition to Putin. He did run for Mayor of Moscow in 2013 and garnered around 27.2% of the vote. He had been out of Russia for medical treatment after being poisoned with Novichok, a Russian-developed nerve agent. Navalny was told not to return to Russia but did so anyway. He was arrested, put on trial and sent to a high security prison where he died. Navalny campaigned on an anti-corruption theme and directly attacked Moscow’s leaders as thieves and crooks. Navalny narrated and produced sophisticated presentations trying to destroy Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council.
Navalny certainly had western support, although not much is known about how much help he actually received.

Neither Prigozhin or Navalny were able to take down Putin. At present there is no candidate to do so beyond these two deceased players. In fact this is what is odd about the Zelensky thesis is that it is supported by UK intelligence and top UK leaders. How much real support it has in the CIA and at the NSC is not clear.

The real internal threat in Russia seems to be from assassins and killers, including terror groups who have been able to set off bombs at key industrial, military and infrastructure targets, kill Russian political and military officials and Russia nationalist supporters, and who carried out the brutal attack last March on the Crocus theater complex that killed at least 60. In some cases Russian citizens have been recruited by Ukrainian operatives to carry out terror attacks. In the Crocus attack the shooters were linked to ISIS (from so-called Khorasan province, ISIS-K, in Afghanistan and Pakistan) but the Russians claim that they were backed by Ukraine.
None of the above indicates any threat to the current regime significant enough to force a change in leadership. There is even less certainty or clarity on what group might emerge in charge of Russia if Putin was overthrown or died. When you listen to the rantings of some Russian politicians and TV personalities, you wonder what would happen if they really were in power. Would they use nuclear weapons, blaming Ukraine, the UK and the United States?
Similarly the calls for deep strikes on Russian territory also invites the same sort of risk of resorting to nuclear weapons by Russia. While it is unlikely that Putin would use such armaments, the same can’t be said if he is replaced by more extreme leaders.
Zelensky’s “dream” of replacing Putin or even putting Putin on trial is just political theater, and not very smart theater. His chance of success is virtually nil.
The idea of sending in NATO and US troops, of course, is even worse as an alternative because Russia would respond by unleashing war on Europe and the United States. Everyone knows that to be the case, but it may happen anyway as Ukraine’s army crumbles and no western leader, let alone a new President Harris, would want to accept defeat. Instead of supporting a diplomatic initiative, the Biden-Harris administration is following Zelensky down the rat hole.

Zelensky’s term of office does NOT expire in 2025. If you look up the Ukrainian constitution, you will see that the president is to have no more than a 5year term, and Zel’s term began back in 2019. In fact, his first term expired on May 20, 2024, making this the 6th year of his 5yr first 4-year term, with his current hold on power being quite illegitimate.
As to the sources supporting my views, I have posted a non-exhaustive list for you a year ago, but not of late. Here is that list:
https://www.israpundit.org/fk-ukraine-candace-owens-explains-why-america-should-not-support-ukraine/comment-page-2/#comment-63356000265578
One source which I added in an addendum somewhere to this list was the work of Ivan Katchanovski. He is the Ukrianian Canadian who identified the Waffen SS Nazi Hunka which was celebrated in the parlaiments of both Canada and Ukraine. The greater input of his work over the years however is related to both the Maidan Coup and the Ukrainian and international coverup which was put in place to hide the reality of the Coup being a coup. In any event, he should have been included in the list of sources I put forward above.
I generally hold the texts to have stood the test of time, even as I have less interest in the podcasters which I once took some interest. One new podcaster which has greatly impressed me of late with his highly unbiased review of daily events, while still having an imperfect view of things IMO, is Willie OAM. He is very different from the likes of Dima and Denys, who share a good bit of propaganda in addition to what facts they share which dilutes from their conversation, again IMO. In any event, I hope something here satisfies your curiousity, even if you find it less than persuasive. You have indicated lately of having a strong bias on these topics. In fact many people are swayed by the Memory Wars of Eastern Europe. I have no such connection to either side, and am not tied to the narratives of either Ukraine or Russia simply because it came from one or the other. I do however find that the Ukrainians are less fothright in many respects and quite dispicable in their support of and praise for Nazi elements in their society. Of course, for more on this you can check out the X account of Eduard Dolinsky who has been fighting antisemitism in Ukraine for nearly twenty years.
This is quite silly. Why would I state something which I didn’t even believe?
As usual, my”parallel universe” tells a completely different story about each and every point in Peloni’s anti=Zelensky rant. For one thing, he has not vio;ated his own constitution by running for reelection, since he is still serving his first and only term. If an independent Ukraine still exists in 2025, which has begun to look dubious, he could conceivably run for reelection, but he has not announced his candicacy, and Ukrainian sources say he is unlikely to ru for a second term. Absolutely nothing in Ukrainianj or Western sources about Ukrainian youths being shoved into unmarked cars and taken to the front. What makes this extremoly unlikely, even if we assume that the Ukrainian government is evil, which I don’t, all Ukrainian and Western sources report that the men fighting on the front lines are nearly all over forty years of age, because all of the younger men have already either been killed in action, suffered disabling wounds, or have left the country. The Ukrainian sources say that young men under the age of 27 who don’t want to serve are permitted to leave the country. Although this is unusual for a country at war to be given this permission. There are said to be over a million Ukrainians of military age in Poland, Germany, Britain, Ireland and elsewhere. Within the past month the Ukrainian government has asked them to return, but only with in the past month.
Peloni, please share with me the sources for your version of events. Ihave asked you to do this repeatedly. But each time you say you don’t have time, but will do so later at some unspecified time. But you never have followed through. and provided me with these sources.Please do so now so I can check out these sources for myself.
If you are still unwilling to share your sources with me, I will interpret this as meaning you don’t really believe them yourself.

I think there will be at least one and possibly two more attempts by the Deep State to assassinate Trump. They want to keep him out of Washington at all costs. But I don’t think they will be successful, because God has His hand on Trump. Therefore, should Trump win the election, they will move to Plan B:
Between Election Day the first week in November and Inauguration Day the first week in January, the Deep State, via the White House and London, will send precision long-range missiles to Ukraine, along with U.S. operators to man the launchers, and green-light their use against Moscow. This will cause Putin to detonate a high-altitude nuclear bomb over Kiev, so that the widespread EMP sends Ukraine back to the 7th Century. Note that Ukraine is not a NATO country, so Article 5 would not be triggered. But I believe NATO (a.k.a. the U.S. and U.K.) will retaliate, and WWIII will be on.
If the Deep State cannot stop Trump from being President, they will hand him WWIII on a silver platter. However — and this is important — it is completely in God’s plan that Donald Trump should be the world leader prosecuting the war, not Kamila Harris. Just one man’s opinion.
