Something is wrong with America's foreign policy. Did you hear Zelensky's speech to the Congress?

 I've been monitoring Zelensky's speeches to various parliaments/congress and I've come to one conclusion.

Something is wrong with our foreign policy.

Zelensky was so polite and differential to the Brits and Canadians. He was humble and glowing with praise of all they've done.

Then he speaks to our congress.

Everything changes.

This dude is damn near demanding when he talks to our President, Congress and the American people.

From my chair it's maddening.  I don't get it.  We have given the most, practically endangered our own economy and he still wants more.

That is a problem. Don't believe me?  Check this out from CNN.

Zelensky had an impassioned message for President Joe Biden, saying, "You are the leader of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace."

Hat in hand and he practically condemns Biden's leadership (and I'm no fan of the guy).  Then he goes on to tell him what HE needs him to be...while begging for help and this after he practically slammed Biden for warning him that an invasion was coming.

 In his address to Congress, the Ukrainian President expressed gratitude to Biden for aid the US has delivered so far, but he argued that more assistance is desperately needed. Zelensky specifically reiterated calls for the US to help enforce a no-fly zone in Ukraine to protect civilians and provide fighter aircraft that the Ukrainians can use to defend themselves, requests that have met with resistance.

Zelensky is still on that no fly zone kick.  The word "no" is a complete sentence but he still doesn't get it.  He kinda reminds me of con-men that keep pestering people until they wear down and say yes to whatever idiotic idea they're pushing.

The same applies here.

I don't care where you stand on this war.  When the after action is done on this we need to carefully assess what we can and can't do in support of allies (NATO and others) and what we will do to support "democracy" (whatever that means these days).

We obviously have created serious misconceptions about our ability to control events and it needs to be understood that just because you have bad guys in your backyard doesn't mean that we'll send troops to get you out of a pickle.
