Politicians in Austria walked out of a speech by Zelensky on Thursday

Post by Silver Pie »

The meat of the video is just under 5 minutes long.

Austrian politicians said that if Zelensky showed up to ask for military support, they would walk out and they did. It was a Zoom call, and they walked out while he was talking. They quietly put signs at their places that said either, "A place for peace" or "A place for neutrality," then stood up and walked out. It looks like some stayed seated, but a lot of people left the room (they show the video of it twice).

Also, apparently, Zelensky said that the tanks and other weapons given to him by the USA didn't work (I understood that they were from the USA).. True? Were they only for photo op purposes, then? Or is he a liar?

Maybe there's hope.

I recommend Mr Zelensky consider negotiating a peaceful surrender and some new national boundaries before more unnecessary bloodshed.

Not our war. Stop sending billions in aid.

And because they do not support the dominant narrative of the Beast System, they are labelled 'right wing extremists'.

"The war in Ukraine has already been lost by Ukraine, and now the Ukrainian army is not fighting at all. When Prime Minister Kishida handed President Zelensky the "must-win shovel," it can be said that Ukraine had already lost the war. Nevertheless, it is reported that tanks have been handed over to Ukraine. It is just another "we are still fighting" pose. Ukraine is completely out. Now Putin is having frequent telephone talks with the leaders of Western countries such as Germany, the UK, and France. Now NATO is also furious with Zelensky for not ending the war despite the lack of money. Although the handover of tanks has been announced, it is doubtful that they are actually in Ukraine. To begin with, even if state-of-the-art tanks were to enter Ukraine, it would take at least three months of training for soldiers to actually be able to use them. Furthermore, the U.S. has been joking that the tanks will be handed over around August of next year. The game is completely won, and we are now in the stage of talks for the end of the war.

"U.S. Side Forced to Make Peace after Wasting Weapons in Ukraine
 March 30, 2023] Ukraine, which has been receiving all-out military support from the U.S. and Europe, has continued to use the supported weapons and ammunition to the fullest extent, and even if the U.S. and Europe operate their weapons factories at full capacity, they are running out of weapons and ammunition, and the U.S. and Europe themselves are unable to provide military support to Ukraine because their own defense capabilities have been reduced. Zelensky said, "Unless the U.S. and Europe send us additional arms and ammunition, we cannot continue fighting and we cannot defeat Russia. We will be forced to take China's peace mediation" and the war in Ukraine has started on the path from a lack of arms and ammunition to a ceasefire and peace (the decline of U.S. hegemony and the rise of China and Russia). Following Hungary and Austria, Bulgaria has declared that it will stop supporting Ukraine and turn neutral (hidden pro-Russia). Europe is becoming more internally divided. Germany and France continue to face a general strike due to growing anti-government sentiment among their people, and Europe is no longer able to continue the war in Ukraine politically or militarily. French President Macron will soon visit China to endorse Xi Jinping's Ukraine ceasefire proposal. Brazil has proposed to China that the BRICS as a whole pursue a ceasefire peace in Ukraine. Xi's Ukraine peace plan is becoming a reality surprisingly quickly. The war in Ukraine, which we thought was still going to last about two years, may be ceasefire peace by the end of this year. Before that time, the EU and NATO will become dysfunctional, and the U.S.-European financial system and the dollar reserve system = U.S. hegemony will collapse.

"China's "One Belt, One Road" was a New Deal policy. China's economy was in such a devastating state that it could not be announced to the world, and it was a measure to combat poverty for one billion people. However, "poverty alleviation" is not something you can talk about. It is because it would ruin their reputation.
 。。。。
 The West cannot rebuild Ukraine because of its relationship with Russia. It is horribly unfeasible to send personnel to a reconstruction project where Russia is right under our noses. It would be very difficult for Europe to participate in the project, and even the U.S. would not be able to enter the reconstruction assistance unless the Russian military is devastated. Then, China is the only choice. Zelensky had no choice but to ask China for help. That is why Zelensky invited President Xi Jinping to visit Ukraine, and that is why the Western countries are also asking.
 Therefore, the Western countries are now asking China to help rebuild Ukraine. On the other hand, China also hopes to participate in the reconstruction of Ukraine in order to rebuild its own economy, and it is now a common understanding that only China can do this, and that their interests are aligned.
 To begin with, China's "One Belt, One Road" was a New Deal policy. In other words, it was a measure to deal with the one billion poor people in China. China's economy is in such a devastating state that it cannot be announced to the world, and this is where the Ukraine reconstruction project is a must in order to address the poverty of one billion people.

The ICC issuing an arrest warrant for Putin is illegal. In accordance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons of Dec. 14, 1973, heads of state enjoy absolute immunity from the jurisdiction of foreign states. The ICC failed to be objective and to respect international law, its now only a matter of time before the international community starts to withdraw their support for this violated organisation. Moscow like the US, China and many other countries do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. Even former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton says, “the ICC is fundamentally illegitimate.” The EU paid the ICC €10 million for work related to Ukraine then in 2025 they intend to pay another €3 million. ..

Shortly after the beginning of the year, on January 14th, 2023, videos of a large protest in the Ukrainian capitol of Kiev began to surface on social media. The majority of the protesters were women, though some men can also be seen in the crowd. The women are identified as the widows and wives of the 24th Division of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ..

It isn't just Russia that is corrupt. Ukrainian oligarchs and bureaucrats have made vast piles of money by embezzling donations and selling weaponry on the international market.

The same issue happened in Afghanistan. One of the planes trying to flee Kabul just before the Taliban take over couldn't fly because it was overloaded with loot, bought and paid for by the western taxpayer. The "translators" were also so busy living it up on the western coin that they forgot to pay for their own troops.

That's the problem it is our war. We put Z man in place in 2014 just so we could get to this point. The neo nazi's forced P man to protect ethnic Russians with their ethnic cleansing and refusal to honor the Minsk agreement.

Germany depriving its own army to arm the Ukraine. There are of course other explanations such arms manufacturers pushing for dated stock tk be used up.

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/germany-rules ... 49341.html

Germany rules out any further weapons deliveries to Ukraine

Germany’s Defence Minister has ruled out sending any further weapons or equipment to Ukraine, admitting that the Bundeswehr will already not be able to replenish its stocks by 2030.

Blighted by chronic underinvestment since the end of the Cold War, the German army is now in even worse shape after having sent equipment, ammunition and vehicles like the Leopard 2 main battle tank to the battlefields of Ukraine.

“To put it bluntly, like other nations, we have a limited inventory,” said Boris Pistorius.

“As federal Defence Minister, I cannot give everything away,” he told German broadcaster Welt.

Gaps in the military will be impossible to bridge by 2030, he added.

The German government wants to grow the Bundeswehr to a 200,000-strong force and spend €130 billion on new equipment by the end of the decade.

“We all know that the existing gaps cannot be completely closed by 2030. It will take years, everyone is aware of that,” he said.

Mr Pistorius said increasing the defence budget to reach the Nato spending target of two per cent of national output, from currently around 1.5 per cent, was his highest priority.

“If that is then set in motion at the end of the [legislative] period, then I would be satisfied,” he added.

Mr Pistorius, who became defence minister after his predecessor stepped down after a series of political blunders, has inherited the fraught task of rebuilding Germany’s ailing military after decades of neglect.

“If that is then set in motion at the end of the [legislative] period, then I would be satisfied,” he added.

Rebuilding the military is a crucial component of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s vision for a “zeitenwende”, or turning point, in German policy.

Defence budget is lagging
Three days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Mr Scholz announced the creation of a €100 billion fund to turn the Germany military into the most powerful in Europe.

However, more than a year later, the German military remains beset by shortages of equipment and personnel.

Only around €13 billion of the fund has been allocated so far, with Germany’s regular defence budget also lagging behind inflation.

Eva Högl, the parliamentary armed forces commissioner, has estimated that modernising the Bundeswehr would cost at least €300 billion.

An annual report on the armed forces produced by the commission last month revealed the extent of the problem facing Mr Pistorius and those involved in the modernisation effort.

It uncovered widespread shortages of even basic equipment such as clothing, with soldiers frequently complaining about uncomfortable uniforms.

The German army was also found to be desperately short of effective communications equipment like radios, as well as crucial gear used to protect troops from the effects of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.
