Oh, the delicious irony! President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is begging Donald Trump to pressure China about its Moscow ties. And yet, it seems like just yesterday when Zelenskyy was the one navigating the treacherous waters of international relations, attempting to maintain his country's sovereignty while sandwiched between the bear and the eagle.

So, now, the Ukrainian president, who was once an underdog, is calling on the heavyweight champion of international bullies, Donald Trump, to play the interventionist card against China. Let's probe into this a little. Isn't this the same Trump who has been known to use foreign aid as leverage for personal gains, as showcased in the 2019 impeachment proceedings? Oh, yes, the very same!

Zelenskyy, who was once a victim of Trump's political maneuverings, is now urging the very same man to do the exact same thing to another country. Does the phrase "pot calling the kettle black" ring any bells?

Then comes the issue of China's support for Russia. Oh, the audacity of Zelenskyy. Has he forgotten that his country, too, has played the double game in geopolitics, being cozy with the EU and the US while sharing a border with Russia? Yet, this doesn't seem to deter him from wanting to point fingers and play the blame game.

Now, let's talk about Trump. Will he, the man who boasts about "America first," really put pressure on China, risking a trade war reelection, just to appease Zelenskyy? His track record says otherwise. Let's remember that this is the same man who, in the face of a global pandemic, opted to sever ties with the World Health Organization, putting politics ahead of global health.

The real agenda here is not about ending a war. It's not about peace or justice. This is a game of political chess, where countries are mere pawns to be sacrificed for personal gains. It's about Zelenskyy trying to survive in a geopolitical game that's much bigger than Ukraine. It's about Trump using every opportunity to leverage his power and influence.

Who are the losers in this game? The citizens of Ukraine, for one, who have to live with the consequences of their leaders' power plays. Then there are the ordinary people around the world who suffer from the ripple effects of these geopolitical games: wars, refugee crises, economic instability.

The hypocrisy is staggering, the double standards are blatant, and the lack of genuine concern for human welfare is appalling. But such is the game of global politics – and it's time we called out the power players for what they really are.

So, let the Hypocrisy Olympics continue. Let's sit back and watch as our leaders throw their principles out the window, all in the name of power and influence. And while we're at it, let's remember that it's us, the ordinary people, who pay the price for their games. Let's not forget that while they play, we pay.

The real question is, how much longer are we willing to fund their hypocrisy with our lives and livelihoods? It's time to challenge the mainstream narrative, question our leaders, and remember that in the end, we're the ones who hold the power to change this game.
