Zelensky: America Will ‘Lose NATO’ and Global Leadership Role if it Stops Funding War in Ukraine

Kurt Zindulka 25 Feb 2023

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that if America pulls military support from his country, the United States will “lose NATO” and its global leadership position.

Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv (Kiev) on the one-year anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of his country, Zelensky responded to a question on the growing unpopularity of continued support for the war in Ukraine in the United States by criticising Americans who do not want to continue to send arms and billions of their taxpayer dollars to his administration.

“If they do not change their opinion, if they do not understand us, if they do not support Ukraine, they will lose NATO, they will lose the clout of the United States, they will lose the leadership position that they enjoy in the world,” Zelesnky warned.

“They will also lose the support of [Ukraine] with 40 million people, with millions of children. Are American children any different than ours?” he demanded.

According to a Gallup poll earlier this month, nearly half of Republican respondents (47 per cent) believe that the Biden administration is doing too much to support Ukraine. In contrast, 41 per cent of Democrats said that they think the United States is not doing enough, while independents are currently evenly split, with 35 per cent coming down on each side of the issue.

Has the grift turned into blackmail? 

This POS is almost as bad as Putin.

Zelensky’s condescension toward Americans’ legitimate questions about Ukraine aid must stop. We’ve provided $113 billion-40% more than Russia’s ENTIRE defense budget this year. His lecturing of us, his Vogue photo shoots & his Grammy appearances undermine his credibility.

Maybe it's TIME for the US to "lose NATO".
Let those Euros take care of their own business.

 Not really.  What will happen is that Putin will seize on that weakness to invade a NATO country next, and then we will be in WW3, and US troops will end up dying on European battlefields again.

That’s what happens when you give in to the demands of a tyrant. It’s what happened when the British and French gave in to Hitler, and it’s what will happen again if we follow the sweet-sounding lies of the Ukraine haters and the Russian orc lovers and abandon Ukraine to the Russian orc.

"NEW—Zelensky warns the US what will happen if Ukraine loses:

“The US will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending our sons and daughters to war... because it's NATO that we're talking about, and they will be dying." (Video)

"ZELENSKYY: If Ukraine loses the war, Russia will invade NATO member states and “The U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way we are sending our sons and daughters to war. And they will have to fight because it's NATO.. and they will be dying” (Longer Video)

Not much different than what Haile Selassie said to the League of Nations in 1936.  Did Selassie's words prove true?

How is this incorrect?  Russia has already made overt moves to destabilize Moldova, and is actively fomenting a military coup there.  If the U.S. stops resisting Russian Orc aggression in Ukraine, one of the next-door NATO members will be next on the block; most likely one of the Baltic states.  At that point, we are duty-bound to put our blood as well as our treasure at risk to defend those states.

Unless, of course, the U.S. intends to welch on its treaty obligations to NATO.

Zelensky is simply speaking the plain truth here.
