“Ukrainian Election: Western Puppet Poroshenko Crushed by Professional Comedian Zelensky”
How completely fitting that a comedian should be elected president of the shambles President Poroshenko has made of Ukraine.
You really could not have imagined such a scenario just a short time ago.
Poroshenko, displaying the most extraordinary and easy-to-spot incompetence, has overseen his country's decline by every possible measure - economic decline, citizens leaving, civil war, destruction of ancient ties, making a mess of energy supplies, and inducing a general malaise - and he could not have come to a better end.
Zelensky may just offer some real hope with his references to the Minsk Accords and his very symbolic willingness to speak Russian many times during his campaign.
Of course, the poisonous and pointless hatred for all things Russian is what has guided Poroshenko on his blundering, destructive, wounded-ox path. You get nothing positive out of such spitefulness.
But Zelesky will be under heavy pressure from the ugly mob in Washington who created the mess in the first place. They invested a lot of money in making a mess of Ukraine, five billion dollars according to the overheard words of the extremely unpleasant Victoria Nuland, Neocon and former high State Department official.
If they can get nothing else, they are surely happy with instability and turmoil on Russia's border in Ukraine and have little motive to see it change. It is, after all, a form of that infamous American "hybrid warfare."
