PLEASE TO STOP THE STUPID CLAWN
PEOPLE OF UKRAINE SHOULD MOVE QUICKLY TO REMOVE PRESIDENT ZELENSKY FROM HIS POWER WHY? 1) BECAUSE ZELENSKY SEND UKRAINE YOUTH AND UKRAINE PEOPLE TO DIE ON THE BATTLEFIELD TO SERVE TO BECOME A NATO PROXY 2) BECAUSE ZELENSKY'S DECISION TO STAY IN WAR HAS DESTROYED UKRAINE CITIES. ZELENSKY PROTEND THE WAR ONLY TO SERVE THE WEST. NOT IN THE INTEREST OF UKRAINE AND ITS PEOPLE. 3) BECAUSE ZELENSKY FOLLOWING THE WEST EXTENDING THE WAR HAS MADE THE UKRAINE PEOPLE POOR AND SUFFERING JUST FOR THE FOLLOWING OF WEST ORDERS. 4) BECAUSE ZELENSKY WAS STUPID TO OBEY THE WEST TO ENEMY WITH RUSSIA AS A NUCLEAR SUPERPOWER WITH DEVASTATING MILITARY POWER. 5) BECAUSE ZELENSKY IS STUPID, KEEPS AT WAR WITH RUSSIA WHICH WILL NOT BE DEFEATED NOR AMERICA OR NATO. EVEN MORE BY SMALL POWERS OF UKRAINE BECAUSE RUSSIA IS A NUCLEAR SUPER POWER IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE IN A MILITARY CONFLICT WITH UKRAINE. 6) THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY OVERTOCK THE FOOLISH PRESIDENT ZELENSKY TO STOP DESTROYING UKRAINE AND KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE FOR THE WEST'S INTERESTS COME ON UKRAINE PEOPLE Overthrow this doll government ASAP.. DON'T LET YOUR FATE BE IN ZELENSKY'S HANDS.. YOUR FATE IS IN YOUR OWN HANDS. DO IT NOW.

Armies still run on their "stomachs". ANY disruption of transport to the front areas will have an effect. There is rarely anything such as a grand action that is obvious to everyone. The death of a thousand cuts still results in death, it's just not a fast a bullet to the head. The latter being what people want to see but the former wins the war.
