Against my better judgement, I watched the approximately one hour of mutual ego-massaging by Zelensky and his counterparts in Jacindaland this morning as it was broadcast on the Parliament TV channel.
If anyone wanted to be profoundly depressed by the types of people in NZ’s parliament where Globalist-Leftists occupy about two thirds of the seats at present, it would have done the job.
The Jacinda government narrative was predictable as it was almost identical to that of Washington Joe and his hench-people. Yes, it’s all Putin’s fault, the Obama administration never overthrew a pro-Russian government and replaced it in 2014 with a pro-American one, there are no Neo-Nazi military formations terrorising the population in both Ukrainian and Russian speaking areas of the country who don’t side with the regime; the Biden administration never provoked the Russians for a year once Joe was in the Oval Office; all the orchestrated atrocity propaganda is true; there is no corruption in Ukraine and the $100 billion in cash and armaments that Joe has sent the regime are all accounted for.
Of course, Comrade Jacinda can’t resist a virtue signaling opportunity and announced she was giving Zelensky another 3 million NZ taypayer dollars! At least the gratitude for money, of which Zelensky and his cronies are inordinately fond, would have been genuine, unlike the sickening hypocrisy by Comrade Jacinda and James Shaw, the latter unbelievably claiming he believed in non-violent conflict resolution! My, my.
Unfortunately Chris Luxon and David Seymour were little better, not to be outdone and indulged in virtue signaling platitudes of their own. Maybe they are genuinely misinformed, but it’s a better bet they like the Military Industrial Complex and the Globalist elites as much as those on the government benches do. Sad, so sad.
The NZ parliamentarians paying homage to this man encapsulates just how far the West has disintegrated and what a disgrace these so called leaders are. Leaders they are not, and they should not be taken seriously.
Try to imagine President Eisenhower, PM Winston Churchill, or President Charles de Gaulle allowing such a fake to dishonour their parliaments.
Note Zelensky’s eyes in the video – he is not called a cokehead for nothing
“It’s all right when we do it [invade a sovereign country] but not when they do it.”
You have a stronger stomach than me if you could watch the whole charade . I can only imagine the level of virtue signaling on show! It would make anybody sensible spew. One wonders where this warmongering nonsense will end! The Neocon warmongers in Washington and Brussels must be laughing so hard to each other over how stupid these Jacindas circus clowns are!
This is all about the discovery of oil and gas in the Golan Heights back in 2014. It started with Israel seizing the region from Palestine. Then there was talk of pipelines being run up from there through Syria across the black sea, through Ukraine and Poland to Germany where it would then be redistributed to supply the rest of Europe and end it’s reliance on Russia.
Notice that the trouble in Ukraine was started back in 2014 and we have the US attempts to pull Assad down and insert their own leader just as they succeeded in doing in Ukraine. We also saw Russia secure the Crimean Peninsula and the Black Sea another blockade in Genie Oil and Gas’s way.
This is an energy war with Israel pushing the buttons to make money on Palestine’s natural resources.. Back around 2014 we had oil companies telling us not to worry about oil running out as they had mastered deep sea oil drilling, except they hadn’t we had oil spill after oil spill from these deep sea drilling platforms. So that didn’t work and the US and Europe became dependant on Russian oil and gas, so the Golan Heights discovery was a godsend for them. They just need to get it to Europe in an economic way.
Once Israel saves Europe the Palestinians will be wiped out and no one in Europe, the US or NATO will dare call them out for it.
Golan Heights has been occupied by Israel since 1967, taken from Syria. They consider it theirs as Syria attacked them and lost. Israel also occupied Sinai but 12 years later a Peace Treaty was signed with Egypt and Israel gave it back. No treaty so far with Syria.
I stand corrected, however, the international community reject Israeli claims to title to the territory and regards it as sovereign Syrian territory. Only the United States recognise Israels annexation of Golan Heights.
You can be sure that if Israel and Genie oil and Gas do get their pipelines through to Europe they will wipe the Palestinians out and nothing will be said about it and the International community will change it’s view on Israels claim to Golan Heights.
Syria and Russian held Eastern Ukraine will have to be defeated for the pipeline to go through as will Russia’s hold on the Crimea peninsula and their control of the Black Sea.
I can’t see that happening now, but the intention was there and this did all start shortly after the discovery of oil and gas in the region.
“Rupert Murdoch and his longtime pal Lord Jacob Rothschild are major shareholders in, (a joint 5.5 percent stake worth $11 million), and members of the Strategic Advisory Board of Genie Energy, – a spin-off company from telecoms group IDT Corp. (US ex- Vice President Dick Cheney is also a board member.)
Israel has granted Genie oil exploration in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, captured and annexed from Syria in the 1967 war. Genie plans to drill 10 exploratory wells over three years there, at a cost of $25-$30 million, even though the drilling of new wells – let alone fracking – by an occupying power is illegal.”

Israel Grants First Golan Heights Oil Drilling License To Dick Cheney-Linked Company -2013

‘A company drilling for oil on the Golan Heights claims to have found “significant amounts” in the plateau.
“We’re talking about a layer 350 meters thick,” Yuval Bartov, chief geologist of Afek Oil and Gas, a subsidiary of the American company Genie Energy, told Channel 2.
The layer is ten times larger than the average oil find worldwide, Bartov said, “and that’s why we’re talking about significant amounts. What’s important is to know that there’s oil in the rock, and this we know.”’
Major oil reserve said found on Golan – 2015

The US intervened in the Syrian civil war in 2014 followed by Russia and Iran in 2015. A ceasefire was reached in 2017. There are currently still 900 troops in US held regions of Syria.
Also in 2017 once Russia, Syria and Iran stopped the overthrow of the Assad government, there was a new plan for an underwater pipelines through Cypriot and Greek waters, through Italy to supply Europe from Golan Heights.
I think due to worsening relations between Turkey and Israel, plus the expense and time it would take to construct, this was shelved.
There has been recent talk of using an existing pipeline to Egypt from which it will be shipped to Europe. Plus an undersea pipeline, proposed to be the longest ever constructed would take almost a decade to complete.

You can see what the intention was back around 2014, for the overland pipeline to Europe and what happened to the countries it would have to pass through. Russia and Eastern Ukraine stopped that as did Syria and Iran.
