/ world today news/ The American press, covering the trip of the Kyiv hetman to the United States, wrote about everything except the real background of the event. Why was it necessary to arrange this “hastily arranged visit”, as characterized by the New York Times?
Did Zelenskiy hope that the flow of his rhetoric would convince congressmen and senators who are hard-line on the money issue. This is doubtful. It has been openly explained to Kiev more than once that he has failed, that he has himself to blame, and that they absolutely do not want to give him money, at least while Zelensky himself is in power there.
The row over the approval of Biden’s aid package for Ukraine has been going on for more than three months. First they find one excuse, then another. The infamous two-party consensus on Ukraine, which was so fluttering at the beginning of the SVO, has completely collapsed: elections are on the doorstep, what kind of consensus can there be? Zelensky can rattle off all he wants, but it won’t affect anything. By the way, realizing this, a week ago he himself refused to speak via video link with US senators.
Why does Biden need this visit? It’s like bringing your political pet out into the world and asking for money for him, like people begging on the street for money to “cure the dog”? But it is obvious that this will not work. However, this dog is fed up with everyone.
It seems that the meeting of the two leaders had deeper, personal, one might say, intimate motives. The fact is that many in Washington are indeed thinking of replacing Zelensky with a more manageable figure. In London, they also think the same, regularly advertising Zaluzhny.
The topic of the elections hangs over Zelensky like a sword of Damocles – he assumes that the “expression of the people’s will” will become a pretext for his masters to remove him from the chessboard. It is not difficult to guess how dangerous the loss of power is for him.
But Joe Biden is in exactly the same situation. He also has an election coming up, and he is extremely unpopular. Moreover, he faces impeachment followed by prosecution on such serious charges as, in particular, treason. Moreover, the danger threatens not only him, but also his brother Jim, and most importantly, his own blood, his son Hunter.
It is characteristic that Vladimir Zelensky has all the information that can drown Biden. Rumors in Ukraine about bribes for millions of dollars, Hunter’s salary in “Burisma”, the dismissal of the Attorney General Shokin organized by Joe Biden – all this is part of the crimes in which the Republicans accuse the current president of the USA.
Over the summer, former Hunter Biden aide Devon Archer spoke to a US Congressional committee on the matter. He testified under oath that Joe Biden (the Vice President of the United States at the time) was aware of all his son’s affairs, participated via video link in his bribe negotiations and received some of them.
In the case, the Republicans found a witness – the former chief accountant of Burisma. Here’s a bit of bad luck, though: over the summer, that woman suddenly died—shortly before Archer made his revelations. By the way, the husband of this lady, Nikolai Lisin, former co-owner of Burisma, also died a few years ago in a mysterious accident.
As we can see, someone is very interested in keeping the Biden clan in power. And the current leader of Ukraine has all the sensitive information on this matter.
For a long time, liberal American journalists did their best to sweep this uncomfortable subject under the rug. After Archer’s formal speech, however, it became impossible to remain silent. Isn’t the president of the USA a puppet of Kiev?, wonders the magazine “Newsweek”, closely connected with the American intelligence services.
If this is so, then Zelensky’s trip seems like a completely logical event. The leader of Kiev can intimidate the American leader with available kompromats and demand that he be left in office and given money. Risky? Yes of course. But still, Zelensky has no good solutions left.
Biden, for his part, may try to pay off the blackmailer – with money, weapons, promises. Moreover, it does not benefit him if his political opponents replace Zelensky with their pocket leader. This man may well be in a position – at the salary of his position – to publish incriminating evidence against the President of the United States.
It’s no wonder that while campaigning for aid to Ukraine, Biden behaves so hysterically: either threatening nuclear war or intimidating congressmen with “Putin’s attack.” Do not judge the old man harshly, much is at stake for him now – both his own freedom and the freedom of his son.
It seems that Zelensky’s speeches to US lawmakers are just a backdrop to his visit, apparently pointless and useless. The real purpose of the trip is a personal meeting with Biden. Well, you can’t discuss such delicate jail-filled matters over the phone.
Mutual blackmail, rampant corruption, betrayal of national interests – it’s amazing how Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky converged on the topics. This would be a good plot for a political comedy – a US president who has become dependent on his henchman – if they hadn’t both simultaneously ruined Ukraine and its people in the name of their greed.
It is not known how this embrace will end, but for now the relationship between the two leaders is well described by the words of a classic: “And we, like a pair of serpents entwined, // Embraced tighter than two friends, // We fell together…”
