Zelenskyy confident US will not ‘betray’ Ukraine
(www.aljazeera.com)
What did Gaddafi do?
a lot of things. threatening the petrodollar is probably what got him taken out
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi
He was a socialist revolutionary that overthrew the western backed monarchy and refused ro budge. His cardinal crime that 
ordered his death from was to seriously start organization of a gold-based African currency and African union.
This was a major threat to 
dominace, leverage, and shitfuckery in the region.
Basicaly he threatened the world with African peace, prosperity and independence, throwing off the yoke of colonialism. This earned him to be hunted down by basically ISIS which murdered him by shoving a bayonet up his ass, repeatedly.
This cumulated with the infamous 
We came. We saw. He died.

When you do business with a country founded on 500+ broken treaties.
Is there a master list somewhere with every broken treaty, what the treaty was, and how the Us broke it?
here's a good start (cw: natopedia):

Who's the ghoul hanging with Saddam?
donald rumsfeld

Disgusting criminalmagainst humanity. Gaslighter extraordinaire. 
Important context because Rummy keeps falling back on Saddam using chemical weapons on the Iranians and Kurds as justification - CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed IranThe U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history -- and still gave him a hand.

didn't expect ukrainian political elites to frame this discussion along the terms of 'betrayal', but here we are
It's been obvious for quite some time that they were going to do this since Zelensky made various statements in the past about how the West should not disappoint Ukraine. And then there's that direct threat to Europe he made.
Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.
Oh sure when I say we shouldn't give the self avowed nazis guns because they'll use them to do nazi shit after the war I'm a Russian shill but when Zelensky threatens other nations with it if they stop funding him, crickets.
I thought a stab in the back narrative would happen, guess Zelensky is trying to get in front of it before, yknow, the ukrainian nazis blame him
The very fact that someone feels the need to say that they are confident they will not be betrayed already indicates that they will, in fact, be betrayed.
My shirt saying and so on and so forth
Man being hung out to dry confident he won't be hung out to dry
Amazing how stupid people in power actually are.
There's a reason he's the US's guy. He's a tv comedian known for low brow comedy. He knows nothing about running a country.
Well he is a puppet, so its kind of a job requirement.
My actual face while reading this headline.
When the US betrays him: 
So I know gambling is bourgeois decadence, but let's place our bets on the country he'll escape to when American funding dries up and Russia overruns Ukraine. I'm placing my bets on Poland.
It will definitely be Canada
How did I not think of Canada? It's really the perfect answer. There's so much precedent already.
Chrystia Freeland will certainly push for that.
I'm thinking he'll come infest my home shithole of 
. There's a large amount of ukranian nazis, easy to keep on a short leash, but not directly in america itself. If it does happen I hope he like, gets hit by an average montreal driver.
or taken out by one of the enraged canadian ukronazis...
Split the difference? Bets on an enraged Ontario driver?
I can't wait for the Ukrainian Government-in-Exile to be set up in Edmonton
I'm thinking he'll come infest my home shithole of . There's a large amount of ukranian nazis,
It was a group of Canadian-Ukrainian nazis who came up with the "holodomor" term btw. They didn't actually create the myth itself, but they're the ones who revived it and gave it a vaguely holocaust-sounding name.
Poland is getting pretty sick for being blamed for not sacrificing their entire economy and military for ukraine from all reports.
Canada or Germany
Well canada is a safe bet because they're known to be filled with ukrainian nationalists, but my dark horse is the US itself, specifically Miami, FL.
Gambling can be used effectively. Numbers games were often used as a lender of last resort in poor communities, with numbers readers sometimes even giving wins to people in need rather than who had the correct number. It can quickly devolve into obsession and addiction for some though, so it’s not an ideal, rather a decent survival method within marginalized communities.
perhaps Argentina?
There's a first time for everything, I guess.
"Why is this leopard eating my face?"
He says, totally uncoerced
Quote by man betrayed: "What are you gonna do, betray me?"
This kind of implies that he still doesn't realize they were sacrificed to fight russia.
Not much for history is he?
