Zelensky Speaks in PA

[George K]

He visited a munitions plant in Pennsylvania.

He flew there on a US military aircraft.

Foreign leader expresses a preference for one candidate on US soil having just traveled at taxpayer expense for photo-op.

Is this a problem?

[Jolly]

Yes.

@George-K said in Zelensky Speaks in PA:

He’s right, of course.

He may be. Let him say it in Kiev and not flying to Pennsylvania on or dime.

[Mik]

I disagree. It's a huge topic in this election. Plus I don't think he said anything new.

[Jolly]

What if this was the Chinese leader, being flown in on the American dollar to speak on possible tariffs?

[Horace]

I've seen many leaders who were convinced they knew how to end it tomorrow, and as they waded deeper into it, they realized it's not that simple.

The most convincing arguments I've heard regarding a simple conclusion to this war, is that Ukraine loses, sooner or later.

Eh, why is this a problem? Isn't that pretty normal?

If Trump were president and a foreign leader would express a preference for Trump in the next election while on a US trip - would that be a problem? I don't think so either.

Israel receives a shit ton of money in military aid from the US, and nobody on the right ever complains when Bibi insults the Democrats, because as we know they're all antisemites.

China is an adversary. Ukraine is not.

Dems are anti-semites, and Republicans are Russian operatives. Facts.

It's difficult to leave the house without being surrounded by anti-semites and Russian operatives. That's why I don't leave the house.

What do you do if you're an antisemitic Russian operative?

You never show your face on the internet, that's for sure. Nobody will like you.

@Horace Well, you don't TELL them that, anyway.

Let's put it differently.

Vlad Putin makes a stop in the United States. He visits an arms factory, where he praises Trump, saying that Biden is to unstable and senile. He thinks Harris will follow Biden's policies.

And the US Air Force flies him from Washington to Pennsylvania.

People are so incredibly smart, though. They sniff out the anti-semites and Russian operatives without those people ever admitting it.

[Mik]

True, 'dat.

[jon-nyc]

@George-K Again, Putin is an adversary

OK, would you be OK with Pierre Castreaux expressing his political preferences after a flight on a USAF transport?

[Mik]

is Pierre fighting for his country's very existence?
