Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast #456
https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-takes-on-putin-apologists-us-skeptics-on-3-hour-lex-fridman-podcast/
https://x.com/RealJakeBroe/status/1876414616093458638
I boiled Lex Fridman's 3 hour podcast with President Zelenskyy to less than 10 minutes for you.
Zelenskyy did the best he could considering Lex was being deliberately obtuse and Lex just ignored everything Zelenskyy said rather than building on the conversation from the information being given to him by his guest.
- Lex ignored the Ukrainian children Russia has stolen
- Lex ignored Russia's violation of the Budapest Memorandum
- Lex ignored Russia's violation of the Minsk agreements
- Lex ignored Russia bringing North Korea into the war
- Lex ignored Russia bombing civilian cities nightly
- Lex ignored that Russia is no longer a democracy
- Lex ignored that people in Russia have no freedoms
- Lex ignored how many Russians have been killed or imprisoned for speaking out against this war
- Lex ignored Russia's invasion of Georgia
- Lex ignored Russia's occupation of Moldova
- Lex ignored Russia's brutality in Chechnya
- Lex ignored Russia's war crimes in Syria
Why even bother interviewing Zelenskyy when you already have your own agenda and you aren't interested in learning any new information from your guest?

"Were the Soviet Union (or Russian Federation -moderator added) to sink tomorrow under the waters of the ocean, the American military-industrial establishment would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy."

Moldovan PM: We want to reintegrate Transnistria, for Russian troops to withdraw, and deploy peacekeepers

With the impending Russian made humanitarian crisis in Transnistria bound to increasingly make its way into the news, I figured I'd do a short thread on the history of the place to offer a bit of a context, inevitably also touching on the history of Moldova and Romania.🧵

Ukraine will provide electricity to Moldova to cover the deficit in its energy system. "On January 2, we will additionally purchase electricity from the Ukrainian Energoatom at night, when our colleagues have a surplus of energy and can export it."

USA since 1945 made Soviet Union/russia the ultimate single enemy for Europe and money$ource for USA, esp. since 1994 Budapest Memorandum and Putin knows that and likes that. Trumps rambling about European countries must do more and rising 2% to 5% is just a way to enlarge the money$ource . USA won't leave NATO cause it's calling the shots in and has command NATO despite just paying 16%(11%) of strict NATO costs. If USA leaves NATO, it no longer has a say in it ,NATO can go on , with european command and has to turn Europe in a war economy, away from USA and make and use it's own arm's industry, depriving USA of it's money$ource it needs, and can WITH Ukraine bring russia down. And that's the last USA wants to happen.
