Step Up, ‘Old Slav’—Time to Die – #Nato, #Russia, #Ukraine, #USA

I started writing this article after compiling numerous research documents about the Special Military Operation (“SMO”) and NATO’s response. But then I realized—I’m too late. A deep, intellectual analysis of the Trump-Vance vs. Zelensky spat in the Oval Office might be interesting for the history books, but it won’t save the “Old Slav” dying on the battlefield today.

Let’s start again. The rights and wrongs of the Ukraine war will fade into history, and the winner will write the majority report.

Right now, Russia is cleaning Ukraine’s clock because NATO, the U.S., and the European Union (“EU”) refuse to commit ‘boots on the ground.’ And why is that? Simple. The people of these countries are not willing to risk life and limb to save Ukraine. They sit comfortably in their homes, watching high-definition war footage every night. They see Ukrainian bodies, not their own, being torn apart by drones and artillery.

The EU can pontificate all it wants—Ursula von der Leyen can deliver her best Churchillian impressions—but the moment EU body bags start piling up, she’ll be chased out of Brussels faster than a Russian tank through an open field.

So, in the immediate future, the aging, pressed, hollow-eyed, sagging ‘Slav’ will be forced onto the front lines.

“Step smart, Slav!” a corporal barks. “Move before a Russian drone spots you. Don’t get killed before you even dig a hole.”

“Fuck that,” the old Slav thinks, hobbling toward a half-bombed building. He waves a dirty white handkerchief over his head, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.

“I surrender! Take me to Leader Vladimir Putin!”

This is the reality on the Ukrainian front.

Given this grim truth, what was the real focus of that infamous Oval Office meeting?

No wonder Zelenskyy found himself kicked out on his ass.

Trump, sitting behind the Resolute Desk, leans back with a smirk.

“So, let me get this straight, Volodymyr. You want more money. More weapons. And no accountability. That about right?”

(Incidentally, General Mike Flynn, briefly President Trump’s National Security Adviser before being hounded out by ‘Deep State’ operatives led by FBI Directory James Comey, insists the Ukraine conflict will be remembered as the biggest money laundering operation in history.)

J.D. Vance, standing off to the side, arms crossed, chuckles.

“You’ve already got over $100 billion from us. Where’s it all gone?”

Zelenskyy, shifting uncomfortably, wipes sweat from his brow because the truth does not come easily to the former comedian.

“Look, gentlemen, Ukraine is fighting for democracy, for the West, for all of you! If Russia wins, they won’t stop with us.” Trump shakes his head.

“Save it for CNN. The American people don’t want endless wars. They don’t want their tax dollars vanishing into a black hole.”

Zelenskyy’s mouth opens, but Trump raises a hand.

“Pack your bags.”

The Ukrainian president is left speechless. Within the hour, he’s out on Pennsylvania Avenue, clutching his coat against the cold and off to get warm embraces from British Prime Minister Starmer and King Charles and promises of support. The problem is it has been pointed out the British Army could not fill Wembley Stadium so the reality nice words don’t really count here.

So now, barely a week later, Zelenskyy is crawling back—this time with apologies and appendage in hand.

The scene: Another desperate visit to Washington. This time, he’s not demanding. He’s pleading.

“We appreciate everything the United States has done,” he says, voice softer, eyes darting between officials. “We understand that accountability is important. We will do better. We just… we just need to continue this partnership.”

The message is clear: Ukraine is in trouble. Ammunition is running low. The front is collapsing in the east. And without U.S. aid, Zelenskyy knows exactly what comes next.

The room is silent. The Americans exchange glances. Then, one voice speaks up.

“Maybe,” Vance says. “But it’s going to be on our terms now.”

And maybe the Americans should tell this charlatan to wear a suit when he returns with the begging bowl.
