Doubling down in the face of defeat where thousands are dying is plain evil. The world is increasingly waking up to the malignant effect western warmongers are having on us all & demanding they stop. For whatever reasons lie behind their actions these two men have brought their nations to the brink of catastrophe and, in the case of Zelensky, to possible extinction. Nothing can justify their folly. No arrangement of excuses can massage away the disastrous decisions these two have made. The question of motive lies unresolved and the strong suspicion must be that they made some of their decisions based on their own personal political survival. In the case of Zelensky his physical survival may also have been a significant factor. Netanyahu was in imminent danger of being convicted of corruption and given a jail sentence just before the recent violent event that engulfed Israel. Hamas, a creature of successive Israeli regimes to keep the Palestinians divided, initiated their attack just at the moment Netanyahu needed such a distraction and opportunity to puff out his chest as a war leader. This latter image-building gambit usually works well, taking minds off all other problems in a jingoistic surge of national unity. However, anyone who has paid any attention to the mood in Israel regarding Netanyahu will have seen this ploy is far from effective in his case. Zelensky, essentially the tool of the USA, insists on ever more Ukrainians dying in a totally pointless conflict from the Ukrainian point of view. Zelensky, constantly doubling down on his rhetoric at the behest of a USA appears to seek not the restoration of Ukraine as it once was, but only his survival as the tool through which the USA determines to weaken Russia. It is clear the war is lost. No one seriously expects the tables to be turned at this point. The Ukrainians simply cannot win, this is patently obvious. Yet Zelensky throws ever more Ukrainians into the maw of the Russian meatgrinder… to no good purpose. Netanyahu, like Zelensky, clearly believes he has nothing to gain by calling a halt to the process by which his nation is reduced to an economic beggar and global pariah and everything to lose. What does he care that tragedy befalls more families day after day on both sides as their brothers, husbands and fathers die in a battle seemingly without end? His political survival hangs on remaining in place. To relent is to sign his political death warrant. So it is also with Zelensky and not only his political demise, quite possibly his physical survival. The Ukrainian neo-Nazis are notably unforgiving and Zelensky’s life and that of his immediate family would certainly be at severe risk if he sought peace through negotiations. These are men trapped in nightmares of their own making, both beholden to the USA and totally reliant on U.S. military aid to continue their respective wars. With no way out except personal humiliation they choose instead to remain in place presiding over ever more death, destruction and approaching unavoidable defeat. Do they delude themselves into the belief that they are engaged in a noble cause? Is this their methodology, a self-created amnesia through which they close their minds to their true motivations of personal survival and instead imbue themselves with a delusional noble purpose? Looking at the battle-hardened, ego-fuelled mentality evident in both men this appears a reasonable enough assumption. As they urge others to kill and be killed is there any evidence of self-doubt apparent in these men? To all intents and purposes and in view of their stiff, seeming total resolve, it appears there is none. Just as all the murderous dictators of the past these two evidence no sign of doubt whatsoever, only a determination to continue until some overwhelming defeat subdues them to capitulation, resignation and the ignominy of national disgrace. Until they are removed from power the death toll in their nations will continue to rise. While they wield the levers of power they will continue to drive their nations down. These are men with no future, two arrogant war criminals, prisoners of their vicious ambitions, lapdogs of cynical American elites and unconscionable betrayers of their nations.
