Zelensky, a beggar with a choice, by Osondu Ahirika

Ever heard of a beggar with grandstanding and a choice?

Well, meet embattled Ukrainian, President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He goes to the United States cap in hand to beg for security guarantees.

Which he knows his beleaguered country can’t contrive against the formidable Russian behemoth.

Yet, he talks tough and has a shouting match right in the Oval office of his supposed benefactor- President Donald Trump.

The USA alone has given 300 billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine in 3 years under former President Joe Biden.

Without which Zelensky and his country would have been crushed by the Russian military.

Yet, Zelensky in front of the camera’s was showboating.

This is a man running around Europe begging for military help, weapons and money, to fight Russia.

A war that has seen over a million people killed.

His country devastated.

With no realistic path to victory.

Doing, ‘I no go gree’.

Like our people say, ‘Be careful when feeding a hungry dog which may end up biting you when it is strong’.

President Trump is a realist.

Saying it as it should be.

“You’re gambling with the lives of Ukrainians and gambling with a third World War,” Trump said to Zelensky.

That’s the whole truth of the matter.

I still repeat, never put a crown on a clown and expect a King.

For Volodymyr Zelensky, the end is near.
