| 'Intertwined like a pair of snakes': Zelensky and Biden drown each other |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] The American press, covering the voyage of the Kyiv hetman to the United States, writes about everything except the true background of the event. Why was it necessary to arrange this “hastily arranged visit,” as The New York Times characterizes it? Zelensky hoped that the flow of his eloquence would convince congressmen and senators who were dead set on the money issue? This is doubtful. It has been explained to Kiev more than once in plain text that it failed, it is his own fault, and they absolutely do not want to give him money, at least while Zelensky himself is in power there. The bagpipe has been dragging on for more than three months with the approval of Biden's aid package to Ukraine . First they find one excuse, then another. The notorious two-party consensus on Independence, which was so waved at the beginning of the Northern Military District, has completely broken down: elections are just around the corner, what kind of consensus can there be? Zelensky can rant as much as he wants, but it won’t affect anything. By the way, realizing this, a week ago he himself refused to speak via video link to US senators. Why did Biden need this visit? To bring your political pet into the world and ask for money for him, like people begging on the street for money to “treat a dog”? But it’s obvious that this won’t work. Everyone was tired of his dog worse than a bitter radish. 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 really thinking about replacing Zelensky with a more manageable figure. They are thinking about the same thing in London , regularly promoting Zaluzhny. The topic of elections hangs over Zelensky’s Sword of Damocles - he guesses 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 elections coming up, and he is extremely unpopular. Moreover, he faces impeachment, followed by criminal prosecution under such serious charges as, in particular, high treason. Moreover, danger threatens not only him, but also his brother Jim, and most importantly, his own blood, his son Hunter. What is characteristic is that Vladimir Zelensky has all the information that could drown Biden. Pranks in Ukraine with multimillion-dollar bribes, Hunter’s salary in Burisma, the dismissal of Prosecutor General Shokin, organized by Joe Biden - all this is part of the crimes that Republicans accuse the current US President. In the summer, Hunter Biden's former accomplice Devon Archer spoke before a US congressional committee on this issue. He testified under oath that Joe Biden (at that time Vice President of the United States) was aware of all the affairs of his son, participated via speakerphone in his negotiations on bribes and received kickbacks from them. In this case, the Republicans found a witness - the former chief accountant of Burisma. However, here’s the bad luck: in the summer, this woman suddenly died - shortly before Archer made his revelations. By the way, this lady’s husband, Nikolai Lisin, a former co-owner of Burisma, also died several years ago in a mysterious accident. As we see, someone is very interested in the Biden clan remaining in power. And the current leader of Ukraine has all the sensitive information on this issue. For a long time, liberal American journalists did their best to sweep this inconvenient topic under the rug. However, after Archer’s official speech it became impossible to remain silent. Isn’t the US President a puppet of Kiev? Newsweek magazine, closely associated with the American intelligence services, wondered. If this is the case, then Zelensky’s voyage looks like a completely logical event. The Kiev leader could intimidate the American leader with the available compromising evidence and demand that he be left in his post and given some money. Risky? Yes, sure. But there are still no good solutions left for Zelensky. Biden, in turn, could try to pay off the blackmailer - with money, weapons, promises. It also does not benefit him if his political opponents replace Zelensky with their little man. This little man may well be able - in payment for his position - to publish incriminating evidence on the President of the United States. It is no wonder that, while campaigning for help to Ukraine, Biden behaves so hysterically: he either threatens nuclear war or intimidates congressmen with “Putin’s attack.” Don’t judge the old man harshly; a lot is at stake for him now - both his own freedom and the freedom of his son. It seems that Zelensky’s speeches before American legislators are simply the surroundings of his visit, obviously aimless and useless. The real goal of his voyage is a personal meeting with Biden. Well, you can’t discuss such delicate issues, fraught with a prison sentence, over the phone. Mutual blackmail, rampant corruption, treason, betrayal of national interests—it’s amazing how Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky came together on topics. This would be a good plot for a political comedy - a US president who has become dependent on his minion - if both had not simultaneously ruined Ukraine and its inhabitants for the sake of their greed. It is unknown how this clinch will end, but so far the relationship between the two leaders is well described by the words of the classic: “And we, intertwined like a pair of snakes, // Embracing tighter than two friends, // Fell at once...” |

| #6 Zelensky's main utility was the argument "Ukrainian Nationalists are NOT Nazis - Nazis wouldn't have a Jew as Chief." But now the very people with whom this argument had weight march through western capitals calling for the death of the Jews In context). |

| #5 The fact is that many in Washington are really thinking about replacing Zelensky with a more manageable figure. They are thinking about the same thing in London , regularly promoting Zaluzhny. I understand that this is Russian propaganda but it's so easy to believe because we're talking about Joe Biden and the Deep State who hate voter ID but love them some Dominion voting machines and mail in ballots. |

| #4 Biden will give a speech with Zelensky there, and it will look and sound like Nixon with 'Checkers' the dog. For a good reason. The Dems set up Ukraine as their money laundering clearing house, and are willing to fight to the last one of us to keep it. |
