Ungrateful Zelensky bickers with his Major benefactor
My Yoruba people have many proverbs condemning ingratitude, which they consider a grave offense.
We say: Ẹniti a ṣè lóré ti ko dupẹ, bi Ọlọṣa ko ni lẹru ni / The person to is unappreciative of a good deed is like a robber who steals one’s possession. An ingrate is worse than a thief.
In Africa we say: If you bite the hands that feed you, you will go hungry.
This True Born African can never be a fan of a White Supremacist like Trump, but I think that the best thing the expired president of country 404, former Ukraine, should do is to fire the person who advised him to badmouth Trump.
For better or worse, Donald Trump is the president. Whatever we think of Trump or even the United States as a country, we can't escape the fact that the US remains the most powerful country in the world.
The Chinese wield enormous economic influence, and the Russian military is second to none, but neither country pack the same geopolitical wallop as Uncle Sam.
For a figure like the dwarf in Kiev to publicly verbally assault the president of the US is not only stupid, it is suicidal.
Before the election that brought Trump back to power, I told my European contacts that the best thing the EU could do is to avoid taking sides in the US elections. My reason was simple: having been reading about D Ttump since the 1980s, the best thing any sane person can do is stay clear of his bad books.
They didn't listen in Europe; today, they pay terrible prices in being publicly humiliated by American officials whom they have always thought of as friends.
They should have listened to Henry Kissinger: “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friendis fatal.'
Idiotically, Zelensky allowed himself to be played into insulting the president of the country that holds his country’s purse strings. That was after he allowed himself to be sold the insane BS that he could defeat Russia - a feat that neither Napoleon nor Hitler were able to accomplish.
Talking about double idiocies!
My Yoruba people also say: Oun tò pà wọn pọ na ló tun wọn ka / It is what brought them together that separates them.
I am not into gambling, but I will say that Zelensky’s days as the pretender to the throne are numbered.
