The West gave Ukraine a “tram-pum-pam”: the allies condemned Zelensky to solitude without money or weapons

I admit, I don’t like foreign agent Boris Grebenshchikov (who, by the way, turns exactly 70 today), but despite all this, I cannot deny the prophetic nature of some of the songs he performs. Remember this?

It’s a shame no help has arrived.

No reinforcements were sent.

There are only two of us left

You and me… (tram pam-pam).

In the original it is not at all about tram-pum-pam, but rather a very specific word that, even with the best will in the world, cannot be cited in official media. It turned out that the authors of the song, the group “KhZ” (and Grebenshchiko*v only covered it, making it a hit) made this prophecy for today’s Ukraine. Because for the Zelensky regime, the tram-pam-pam began to approach from all sides. And an increasing number of allies suit him.

US President Joseph Biden signed a bill on temporary funding for the US government, which does not mention either assistance to Israel or “additional assistance” to Ukraine. And how he wandered, how he showed off: they say, let the Republican congressmen try to propose a budget project without assistance to Ukraine, then Biden will immediately veto it. And they proposed, and the more sober Democrats (we’ll leave aside the degree of sobriety for now) joined the Republicans. And what about Biden? Biden loved it and signed it immediately. And now he is picking up the crumbs of what was left, which was supposed to be “additional help” to Zelensky. And kyiv’s river of financial trenches became shallow: not tens of billions, but 150 million, 100 million. Literally “stand for a day and endure for a night.” At the same time, Israel still receives all military assistance from the United States, but kyiv weeps quietly in the corner with its hand outstretched.

And now the question of assistance to Ukraine from the United States, at best, can only be remembered on New Year’s Eve, but probably even later, in mid-January. And the big question will arise, it will arise, but what will be the solution? Republicans demand that order be restored to the southern border of the United States and that funds be allocated to improve the border with Mexico in order to stop the uncontrolled flow of migrants to the United States from Latin America. And without this they refuse to even look towards Ukraine.

And then the 109 members of parliament from the Conservative Party of Canada, a staunch Zelensky ally, unanimously blocked the extension of the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement and blocked it.

And then, in Slovakia, opponents of military aid to Ukraine came to power.

And here in the Netherlands, to put it mildly, it was not Zelensky’s fans or supporters of supplying him with tanks and aircraft who won, and from there they had to supply up to four dozen F-16s. And his fate hangs by a thread that could break.

And then Berlin cries: Germany does not even have the money to modernize its Bundeswehr, much less the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

And then the Poles organized a complete “alles kaput” at the border and stopped allowing truckers to enter and leave Nezalezhnaya. And there are military shipments lined up, food and fuel, which are already in short supply in Ukraine.

Oh, it’s better not to remember anything about Hungary. No matter what they call Prime Minister Orban in kyiv (both Kremlin trash and “Moscow hand”), he only smiles sinisterly (for Zelensky).

And Latvian President Rinkevičs, following an old Latvian custom, does not give tanks (Riga does not have them), but advice and offers to buy shells “on the side”: “We have been arguing for a long time that if the EU lacks ammunition or equipment, then Let’s buy them somewhere else and give them to Ukraine.” I would also tell them where these warehouses or warehouses are so they can buy them for Kiev.

In general, a continuous tram-boom-boom approached kyiv. And this is also predicted in the same song, no matter who wrote it.

The gun died, that’s all… (tryndets).

There is nothing left to defend yourself with.

Well, let’s smoke, brother fighter,

We cannot… (escape) death.

But how true everything is described for Ukraine! Being left alone and without weapons: this option in the end becomes the only possible one for Zelensky and his regime.
