Ukraine Tells Trump and Giuliani To Take Their Biden Smear And Get Lost


Ukraine’s message for Rudy Giuliani and Trump was to leave them out of their schemes to spread lies about Joe Biden.
Ukraine Tells Giuliani and Trump: Leave Us Out

Via The Washington Post:

Supporters of Ukrainian President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky — who is expected to take office in the coming weeks — said in interviews Saturday that they feared they were being pulled into a domestic political conflict in the United States, potentially at Ukraine’s expense.
….

A person close to Zelensky said the president-elect’s team viewed Trump’s interest in the investigations as a domestic U.S. matter and was determined not to let it distract from his agenda.

“This is definitely not our war,” the person close to Zelensky said. “We have to stay away from this as much as possible.”

The person said Zelensky, a TV comedian who ran on a strident anti-corruption agenda, would rule out using political pressure to lean on Ukrainian law enforcement to achieve any White House aims. The person close to Zelensky spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

1. was this something that Rudy thought up himself?

or did Trump tell him to do it?

2. Who knows, one is crazier that the other. Both are too

stupid to come in out of the rain.

3. Smart man, stay out of it and make it known

publicly ahead of time.

4. Ukraine didn't have a dog in this fight.

Good of them to acknowledge that. The world is on to tRump and his minions, and won't be easily fooled. If anything, quite the opposite. They're all on watch for tRump + Company's shenanigans, and will end up using the same against them and us.

Nice to see Giuliani with egg on his ugly face...he wears it well.

8. I dunno. It was just another signal to bad actors that

they are open for business. Seems to me that was mostly the point of all this.

9. Ukraine is pretty sensitive to anything attached to Russia...

they already have enough problems with them. This sounds like just another avenue for Putin to fuck with Ukraine internal politics.

Manafort was kicked out of Ukraine along with his pro-Russian puppet president. Perhaps the new Pres doesn't want to invite Trump/Putin cronies back into his country.

7. My nephew is on a forestry internship in Ukraine

I feel better now about him being there.

10. Ukraine has enough troubles of its own w/o getting caught in a Trump-Russia proxy battle...

I'm very glad they spoke out!

11. I hope there's some way they get the message that most Americans are with them on this.

12. Ukraine and its' people

need the opportunity and time to heal from all the conflict. Trump and Giuliani only care about one thing: reelection. Good call by the Ukrainian President-Elect.
