President Zelensky Phones Taiwan’s Leader Tsai Ing-wen

President Zelensky Phones Taiwan’s Leader Tsai Ing-wen 澤連斯基總統致電台灣領導人蔡英文 by Professor John V. Walsh, MD / March 20th, 2022

Tsai: Hello Volodya. I hope you do not mind my calling you that.

Zelensky: (Sobs, wordless.)

Tsai: What is it Volodya? Calm down.

Zelensky: (Sobbing continues.) We have been left alone to defend our state. Who is ready to fight alongside us? I don’t see anyone. Who is ready to give Ukraine a guarantee of NATO membership? Everyone is afraid.*

Tsai: But the Americans have given you weapons, rifles. The Germans even gave you helmets — right away — and now they are promising more. And they also sent military advisors “little green men”– I think that is what they call them when they are Russian.

Zelensky: We are facing tanks and missiles. I am afraid what we have is pretty small potatoes. As the American politician Ron Paul said, it seems the Americans are ready to fight Russia – down to the last Ukrainian (more sobbing).

Tsai: But Volodya, you got to address the U.S. Congress and plea for help – certainly that shows support.

Zelensky: Support? The script that the Americans handed me centered on a No Fly Zone, in other words, a call for WWIII, nuclear war. I looked like a madman! (More sobbing.)

Tsai: I did not think that made you look like a madman. I admire someone who is willing to risk nuclear war for our beliefs. That shows real spine, real guts. And those Congress people applauded you. If you looked mad, would that not make them all insane too. Surely you cannot believe that.

But I know how you feel about those scripts. The Americans stuff one in my face every now and then with the “advice” that it would be good to read it. I feel I am getting an offer I cannot refuse as they say in the American movies.

But you do not have to accept the script – you are safe in hiding in Ukraine.

Zelensky: I cannot comment on where I am – if you understand what I mean.

And I do not know what kind of company you are keeping, Tsai, but most people are appalled and frightened by the prospect of nuclear war. My stance allowed Biden to look sane by turning thumbs down. I was the fall guy.

Tsai: Look Volodya. You have to get hold of yourself. The U.S. has managed to get the whole world behind you. Just like the US has got the whole world behind me. Not to worry.

Zelensky: Are you serious, Tsai? You know that not only China but also India has refused to join US sanctions on Russia – that is 35% of the world’s population right there. China is the number one economy in the world by PPP-GDP and India number three as you surely know. So two of the big three are not backing sanctions. Also refusing are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico. That is over half the world’s population! And there are many more refusenik nations including the 40 countries not in that list on which the US has sanctions – I have lost count.

And NATO is showing cracks. Macron and others are talking to Putin all the time. Sweden has refused to join NATO, saying that would be “destabilizing.”

The world is changing, Tsai.

Exactly how many countries are behind you, Tsai? You better check — carefully. I wish I had. (More sobbing.)

Tsai: (Now looks very worried) Good point, Volodya.

Zelensky: And now Germany is rearming under the influence of the crazy German Greens, the most hawkish of the Parties in the governing coalition. That of course is a dream come true for the neocons – having Germany fight Russia. Two principal competitors of the U.S. fighting one another. It will destroy Ukraine and the rest of Europe. As I have said in the past, this war will engulf Europe.

Tsai: (Now a bit shaken.) But why did you not stop all this as soon as you were elected. You ran as a peace candidate.

Zelensky: (Even more upset). I could not. The Americans would not permit it, and Russia is well aware of this as Lavrov has made clear. And America’s Neo-Nazi friends like the Azov Battalion fiercely oppose it – and together they have enough clout to stop an elected President – or even depose him as we saw back in 2014. I am keenly aware of that as is any President until the U.S. grip on this country is broken and it is “de-nazified,” if I may borrow a term.

So here I am presiding over the unnecessary destruction of my beloved country, unable to agree to the simple terms of peace that the Minsk accords established.

My place in history is not going to be a glorious one.

Tsai: But at least you have the Ukrainian people united behind you. Here on Taiwan there is considerable pro-Mainland sentiment.

Zelensky: United? I have had to ban a dozen political parties, including the main opposition one. I have had to bring all TV under control of one platform. And I have had to declare martial law. Do you think everyone here is happy that instead of implementing the Minsk accords we have brought ourselves to this point?

My advice to you, Tsai, is do not allow Taiwan to become the Ukraine of East Asia, because right now that is the plan the Americans have for you.

I have to go now. I am being called. I am not even supposed to make calls like this.

(Nervously) Keep this call between us. Good-bye.

Tsai: (Shaken) Good bye Volodya.

(Hangs up, summons her assistant.) I need to place another call. Please get President Xi on the line. He has wanted to talk. Tell him I want to discuss the One Country, Two Systems Policy.

And tell him it is the Governor of Taiwan Province calling.

• These are the exact words that Zelensky used in a midnight speech to Ukraine on February 25.

泽连斯基总统致电台湾地区领导人蔡

泽连斯基总统致电台湾地区领导人蔡澤連斯基總統致電台灣領導人蔡英文 作者: John V . Walsh 教授,医学博士/ 2022 年 3 月 20 日

蔡：你好，沃洛佳，希望你不介意我这么叫你。

泽伦斯基：（哭泣，无言。）

蔡：沃洛佳，怎么了？冷静点。

泽伦斯基：（哭泣还在继续。）我们被单独留下保卫我们的国家。谁准备好与我们并肩作战？我没看到任何人。谁愿意保证乌克兰成为北约成员国？每个人都害怕。*

蔡：但美国人给了你武器步枪。德国人甚至给了你头盔——马上——现在他们还承诺给你更多。他们还派出了军事顾问“小绿人”我想当他们是俄国人的时候，他们就是这么叫他们的。

我们面对的是坦克和导弹。恐怕我们所拥有的只是些微不足道的东西。正如美国政治家罗恩·保罗（ Ron Paul ）所说，美国人似乎已经做好了与俄罗斯作战的准备——直到最后一个乌克兰人（更泣不成声）。

蔡：但是，沃洛佳，你必须向美国国会发表演说，请求帮助——这当然表明了你的支持。

泽伦斯基：支持？美国人给我的剧本集中在一个禁飞区，换句话说，呼吁第三次世界大战，核战争。我看起来像个疯子！（更多的抽泣声。）

蔡崇信：我没想到那会让你看起来像个疯子。我钦佩那些愿意为我们的信仰冒着核战争危险的人。这才是真正的脊梁骨，真正的勇气那些国会的人为你鼓掌。如果你看起来像疯了，难道他们不都疯了吗？你肯定不相信。

但我知道你对那些剧本的看法美国人时不时地在我面前塞一个，还“建议”说读一读就好。我觉得我得到了一个我无法拒绝的提议，就像美国电影里说的那样。

但你不必接受剧本——你在乌克兰安全藏身。

Zelensky ：我不能评论我在哪里-如果你明白我的意思。

我不知道你在和什么样的人交往，蔡，但大多数人对核战争的前景感到震惊和恐惧。我的姿态让拜登看起来神志清醒，因为他的拇指朝下。我是替罪羊。

蔡：你看沃洛佳。你得控制好自己。美国设法让全世界都支持你。就像美国有全世界支持我一样。别担心。

泽兰斯基：蔡，你是认真的吗？你知道不只是中国，就连印度也拒绝加入美国对俄罗斯的制裁占世界人口的 35 %。按 PPP – GDP 计算，中国是世界第一经济体，印度排名第三，这一点你肯定知道。因此，三个大国中有两个不支持制裁。同样拒绝的还有巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、印度尼西亚、南非、肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、土耳其、阿拉伯联合酋长国、沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔、巴西、阿根廷、玻利维亚、墨西哥。这超过了世界人口的一半！还有更多的拒绝国家，包括 40 个不在美国制裁名单上的国家——我记不清了。

而北约正在出现裂痕。马克龙等人一直在和普京对话。瑞典拒绝加入北约，称这将“破坏稳定”。

世界在变，蔡

蔡崇信，到底有多少国家支持你？你最好仔细检查一下。我希望我有。（更多的抽泣声。）

蔡崇信：（现在看起来很担心）说得好，沃洛佳。

泽伦斯基：现在德国在疯狂的德国绿党的影响下重新武装，绿党是执政联盟中最强硬的政党。这当然是新保守派的梦想成真——让德国打俄罗斯。美国的两个主要竞争对手互相争斗。它将摧毁乌克兰和欧洲其他国家。正如我在过去所说的，这场战争将席卷欧洲。

蔡崇信：（现在有点动摇了。）但是，为什么你没有在当选之后立即停止这一切。你是以和平候选人的身份参选的

泽伦斯基：（更难过了）。我不能。美国人是不会允许的，俄罗斯也很清楚这一点，拉夫罗夫已经明确表示过了。而美国的新纳粹朋友，比如亚速尔营，则强烈反对这一计划——他们的影响力足以阻止一位当选总统——甚至像我们在 2014 年看到的那样，推翻他。如果我可以借用一个词的话，在美国对这个国家的控制被打破并被“去纳粹化”之前，我和任何一位总统一样清楚地意识到这一点。

因此,我在这里主持对我所热爱的国家的不必要的破坏,无法同意明斯克协议所确立的简单的和平条件。

我在历史上的地位不会是辉煌的。

蔡：但至少乌克兰人民团结起来支持你。在台湾这里有相当多的亲大陆情绪。

泽兰斯基：曼联？我不得不取缔十几个政党，包括主要的反对党。我不得不把所有的电视控制在一个平台之下。我不得不宣布戒严令。你认为这里的每个人都快乐吗？我们没有执行明斯克协议，反而把自己带到了这一步？

蔡，我给你的建议是不要让台湾成为东亚的乌克兰，因为现在这就是美国对你的计划。

我现在得走了，有人叫我，我不该打这种电话的。

（紧张地）这个电话别外传，再见。

蔡英文：（摇摇晃晃）再见沃洛迪亚。

（挂了电话，叫来了她的助理。）我得再打个电话请让习接电话。他想谈谈。告诉他我想讨论一国两制。

告诉他是台湾总督打来的。
