Pelosi Compares Zelensky Addressing Congress to Churchill Asking America to Join WWII

Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) compared Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to Congress to when former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill’s 1941 address asked the United States to go to war with Europe.

That's a very good analogy since Putin and Russia now represent a World War II-level of evil in Europe, and are a direct threat to the U.S.

Who said anything about surrendering to Russia????

This isn't our war.  The Ukraine/Russia war has been on going. There have been many posts with links provided to give the background and history of these countries and the war(s) between them.

Oh, it very much is our war.

Let's start here on the history:

Why care about Ukraine and the Budapest Memorandum

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2019/12/05/why-care-about-ukraine-and-the-budapest-memorandum/

"In the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the United States, Russia, and Britain committed “to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine” and “to refrain from the threat or use of force” against the country. Those assurances played a key role in persuading the Ukrainian government in Kyiv to give up what amounted to the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal, consisting of some 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads."

The U.S. committed itself to defending Ukraine in 1994 if it would give up its nukes.  The Ukrainians accepted that deal, which the Russians broke in 2014, and again in February 2022.

So yeah, we're responsible for backing up our promises with action.

Zelenskyy’s message to Americans: ‘I really want to win together’
'I came here in the U.S. to thank the people of America,' Zelenskyy said

By Patrick Hauf | Fox News

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday thanked the U.S. for its support for his country and said he wants Americans to keep working together to defeat Russia's aspirations to control his country.

"I wish you peace," Zelenskyy said in a White House press briefing with President Biden when asked what he wants to say to Americans.

"And, of course, to be together with us … because we really fight for our common victory against this tyranny. That is real life. And we will win, and I really want to win together. Not ‘want.' Sorry. I am sure."

Biden invited Zelenskyy to Washington and announced at the White House that another military aid package worth about $2 billion would be headed toward Ukraine, including a defensive Patriot missile battery. Zelenskyy thanked Biden for that aid and said more would be appreciated.

"After that, we will send another signal to President Biden that we would like to get more Patriots," he said.

The visit marks Zelenskyy's first trip outside Ukraine since Russia invaded his country in February, and he used it to help maintain support for U.S. aid to Ukraine's defensive effort.

"I came here in the U.S. to thank the people of America — people who do so much for Ukraine," Zelenskyy said.

If Congress continues to give Zelensky more money, all it's going to do is prolong the war, resulting in ever-larger portions of Ukraine destroyed until they finally are forced to the negotiating table and grant Russia the same land that it demanded before the war began.

Zelenskyy makes direct appeal to GOP critics, arguing no country is safe if Ukraine falters

Zelenskyy urged Congress to keep supporting Ukraine

By Haris Alic | Fox News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a direct appeal to Republican critics during his Wednesday address to a joint meeting of Congress, telling lawmakers that no country was safe in the face of Russian aggression.

In a speech that won several standing ovations from both sides of the aisle, Zelenskyy predicted the war will hit a turning point next year just as Republicans are set to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"The struggle will define in what world our children and grandchildren will live," said Zelenskyy. "This battle cannot be frozen or postponed, it cannot be ignored hoping that [an] ocean or something else will provide protection."

The Ukrainian president said the world is "too interconnected and interdependent" for the U.S. to "stand aside and at the same time feel safe when such a battle continues."

Our leaders aren’t fighting for you, they’re fighting for globalism and sending your money overseas to fund a foreign war.

When will we start putting America First again?

I watched the first 5 minutes or so -- Why was he given the American flag and why oh why was Pelosi bowing to him? I couldn't watch anymore. 

I am more confident than ever that WWIII is very close.

Reporter: "Ukraine desperately needs more capabilities including long range missiles. Can we make long story short and give Ukraine all capabilities it needs?"

I don't think the Republicans need to be "pressured".  I'm starting to think the Congress really loves proving they don't give a damn what Americans think.

You've got that right -- pretty much all 535 members of Congress don't give a flying flip what we think.
