Want Your Son, Daughter to Die for Ukraine? Zelensky Says American Troops Are Next
Ukraine knows that it will not defeat Russia, so Kyiv has been trying to get NATO countries actively involved in the conflict with false flags and instigations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, growing desperate because he is losing the war against Russia, is now warning that American troops will be the next to die if Moscow wins in Ukraine.
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 ours to war. And they will have to fight because it's NATO… and they will be dying.”
The Western media presstitutes who get paid to put out for their corporate whoremasters have tried to portray Zelensky as some kind of modern-day Winston Churchill. But as we have reported for months, he is nothing but a corrupt clown.
We’ve noted in this week’s Trends Journal that The Wall Street Journal published a long article last week that highlighted how some of Zelensky is beginning to face the same “domestic political troubles” that haunted him before the war.
Just one month before the war, Bloomberg reported that the Ukrainian economy was in a free fall and needed an injection of $5 billion to stabilize. The U.S. has provided Kyiv with tens of billions in financial support during the war, but expressed concerns back in October that Kyiv was taking too long to get control of the rampant corruption.
The paper spoke with a Western diplomat in Ukraine who said it was important for Zelensky to mobilize the West, but if that momentum is not sustained, there’s a real chance that “all the dirt will come back: the corruption allegations, the political opponents, the messy reform process.”

TARGET CRIMEA: ZELENSKY READY TO CROSS THE RED LINE
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, still riding the wave of gushing media coverage in the West to mark the one-year anniversary of the war, took to Twitter on Sunday to promise an effort to retake Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
“9 years ago, Russian aggression began in Crimea. By returning Crimea, we will restore peace. This is our land. Our people. Our history. We will return the Ukrainian flag to every corner of Ukraine,” he tweeted.
TRENDPOST: Zelensky does not tweet anything without some kind of approval from the U.S., and we have reported extensively on how Washington is no longer opposed to Ukraine fighting for the territory. There is a general feeling that Russia will not be using tactical nuclear weapons despite the threats to defend its land with its entire arsenal.
Last week, Zelensky acknowledged his plans to try and seize the Crimean Peninsula, noting the servicemembers training abroad.
“We’re taking military steps, we are preparing for them,” Zelensky said, according to RT, the Russian news outlet. “We are mentally prepared already. We prepare technically, with weapons, forces, we form new brigades, we form offensive units of various kinds and types, we are sending people for training not only in Ukraine, you know, but also in other countries.”
The report noted that Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and current deputy chair of the country’s Security Council, warned against attempting to take the peninsula, which is home to Russia’s Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol. He said the attack would be interpreted as an attack on Russia and Moscow would respond “using weapons of any kind.”
Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that Ukraine will determine its conditions for peace.
“It’s for the United States to support Ukraine on the battlefield, so that they can achieve the victory that they define,” Sullivan said.
He dodged the question when asked flatly if the U.S. would support Zelensky’s attempt to retake Crimea.
“The critical thing right now is that they need to take back the territory in the south and the east that they are currently focused on, and we need to give them the tools to be able to do that,” Sullivan said. “The question of Crimea, and the question of what happens down the road is something that we will come to,” he said. “Where we are right now, is that we need to be focused on the immediate term, because it is critical that we move fast and we move decisively to help them take back the territory across that line of contact that Russian troops are currently occupying.”
Zelensky said last year that Crimea is Ukrainian and the country would never give it up.
“This Russian war against Ukraine and the entire free Europe began with Crimea and must end with Crimea, with its liberation,” he said at the time.
TRENDPOST: The U.S. State Department issued a statement on Sunday that read: “Nine years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea—a clear violation of international law and of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United States welcomes the efforts of Ukraine’s Crimea Platform to focus global attention on Russia’s continued occupation. The United States does not and never will recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula. Crimea is Ukraine.”
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, who was also on “Meet the Press” said the Biden administration would do well to be clearer on its position.
“I think it should be all the territorial integrity of the entire country, which includes Crimea. And so yes, I think they need more clarity on that, and the national security adviser didn’t demonstrate it in his interview with you today,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan further proves our point that there is only one party in Washington: the War Party. Bipartisanship ends when it involves supporting instability and deaths in other countries to make sure your military-industrial donors are fed. Sullivan’s top donor is General Atomics, which develops drones and recently announced plans to send two of its Reaper drones to Ukraine for $1.
I was born in Crimea!
People in Crimea never been asked what they want. One communist should not decide the fate of millions of people!
The referendum in 2014 was the first chance for people to express their wishes!
It was the military COUP D'ETAT in Kiev!
Obviously, that majority of the population in Ukraine did not want to sign the Custom agreements with Europian Union, which would completely ruin Ukrainian poor economy, with no chances left to compete with good from EU. Most of the population in Ukraine connected with Russia through generation!
If Mr.Lenin created Ukrainian state, he should be kept in Kiev, not in Moscow!!!
F*kc off, Zelenskyy! We’re not going to die for you.
