Zelensky is officially threatening Russia with “World War III,” which implies that he is unilaterally committing US/NATO forces to fight against Russia for him.
Either that, or he’s saying that he’s been holding back this whole time, and his forces are ready to advance and encircle Moscow.
Either way – it’s difficult to process how this is being reported uncritically by the entire media.
Fox News:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a third world war if peace talks with Russia fail during a television interview that aired Sunday.
Zelenskyy said that “any format” should be used in order to have a possibility of negotiating with Russia, in particular Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third World War,” Zelenskyy said.
“If there is just 1 percent chance for us to stop this war, I think that we need to take this chance, we need to do that,” he added.
The president of Ukraine also said that without negotiations, he does not believe the war will end.
“I am ready for negotiations with him. I was ready over the last two years, and I think that without negotiations, we cannot end this war,” Zelenskyy said during the interview with CNN.
In terms of negotiations, Zelenskyy said that he would not give up territorial integrity and Ukraine’s sovereignty.
So then what is the point of negotiations at all?
“There are compromises for which we cannot be ready as an independent state. Any compromises related to our territorial integrity and our sovereignty and the Ukrainian people have spoken about it — they have not greeted Russian soldiers with a bunch of flowers, they have greeted them with bravery, they have greeted them with weapons in their hands,” he said.
In fact, they’ve “greeted Russian soldiers” by locking Ukrainians in cities as human shields, slaughtered their own civilians, and taped a bunch of random “traitors” to poles.
The analogy would be if there was a home invasion, and the father of the house told his kids to go shoot squirt guns at the home invaders, and if the kids tried to flee, he shot them himself.
Or, conversely, if there was an active shooter at a school, and the teachers started shooting kids trying to flee the school.
