Is the CIA now planning the overthrow of Zelensky? The Biden administration is annoyed with his evident lack of enthusiasm for a US-NATO-provoked war against #Ukraine. Today's Washington Post article is, at the very least, a warning to Zelensky to do what he's told. 1/ 
The WP writes that "top U.S. and European officials say they are growing increasingly concerned that Zelensky is failing to mobilize the country." It criticizes the criminal investigation of Petro Poroshenko on charges of treason and supporting terrorism." 2/
Poroshenko, the corrupt billionaire "chocolate king" of Ukraine, was brought to power in the 2014 CIA-orchestrated putsch in Kyiv. He has close ties to Biden and backs Ukraine's entry into NATO. One can assume that the US prefers him to the unreliable Zelensky. 3/
A "senior US official" said of Zelensky: “We’re his most important ally and he’s poking us in the eye and creating daylight between Washington and Kyiv. It’s self-sabotage more than anything else.” 4/
The WP reports that "some Ukrainian observers fear his [Zelensky's] political inexperience could prove an impediment in the crisis with Russia." It quotes the criticism of Oleksandr Danyliuk, former head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council: 5/
“His weaknesses: He doesn’t understand the interdependencies and complexities of global politics. He has an extremely simplified view of the way the world works." Perhaps Zelensky understands all too well the way the CIA works, and that's why he may be on the way out. 6/6
