#1 You would think by now Zelensky and his henchmen would realize that they have been played in a most cynical manner. Vilnius makes it clear that NATO will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

What can Zelensky and his boys do about it? Are they still hoping that F-16s and cluster bombs will turn the tide for them? Just like HIMARS and Leopards?

#4 NATO leaders are too chickenshit to commit their own people to an armed conflict with Russia but they are all too happy to sit back and watch Ukrainians die for them. They are absolutely ecstatic at the deaths of Russians.

The war is not over and I won't risk a prediction about the final outcome. But looking at those people in Murcek's picture at #2, laughing and partying while people are dying, makes me sick to the stomach.

#7 One take on the picture at #2 is his 15 minutes are up. Or the game is up. Or the new "current thing" will be announced tomorrow.

#9 From Murcek's link at #2:

MofA then highlights the inevitable negative impact (to say the least) on Ukrainian morale: "Now lets wait and see what NATO's climb down will do to the morale and motivations of the Ukrainian army and people."

IMHO, if Zelensky had the least bit of integrity, intelligence or sympathy for his needlessly suffering people he would seek an immediate cease fire and negotiations to end this bloody stupid war.

Why would he even want to join NATO and the European Union when this is what they think of him?

#11 Fotoshopped, but the Euro-Community attitude toward 'Z' is spot on.

#12 The powers that be haven't decided just yet to spit Zelenskyy out and groom a new corrupt Ukrainian puppet. I still maintain that Zelenskyy should avoid hot tubs and tall buildings, but that might not be enough as they seem to enjoy the poison method in them thar hills.

#13 While I like the Mean Girls interpretation of the picture, it kinda looks like he is waiting for someone.

However, he does appear a bit photoshoppy when you zoom in on the image, in which case all bets are off.
