On Wednesday, a US military aircraft flew Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Washington to meet with US President Joe Biden and address a joint session of Congress, where he called for “absolute victory” against Russia.
The prime-time speech, broadcast on all the major cable networks, was a massive exercise in war propaganda. Biden invited Zelensky to Washington as part of an effort to condition American public opinion to accept the White House’s escalation of the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine.
Zelensky gave a proxy speech for a proxy war. The speech aimed to tug at the heartstrings of the American public, even evoking the Revolutionary War battle of Saratoga, in a passage no doubt written for him by a speechwriter in Washington.
