As long as it’s not coming out of my pocket, (unlike Zelensky), I don’t give a hoot.

Well, he’s not a democRAT so it’s probably true.

He's likely made a lot less than Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama.

The difference is that his policies have actually dramatically increased the standard of living for his citizens during his time office. Compare that to Americans living under Biden, who have seen an 11% drop in wages when adjusted for inflation.

Well, that $606,000 was worth $24 million when this whole thing started.

Putin is probably the wealthiest man in the world.

Well he’s sort of telling the truth. He makes his big money from his Gazprom holdings worth a few billion.

That’s 753,000 United States DOLLARS, meggie, not Ukrainian hryvnias.

"That’s 753,000 United States DOLLARS, meggie, not Ukrainian hryvnias."

You'd be surprised how much you can buy with just a few hryvnias.

I know an old guy named Baba, living in Youcrayne with "magical" powers, who bought six fliminitskysa, 13 blinotskoinitska, a case of Plookitskanya Vodka, a house with a sauna, many silinskitkyninayablosti, and who traveled around the country on just 87 of them!

When he got bagged preying on underage girls he got off the hook by bribing three Youke cops, two judges, seven jurors and his jailers with just two hryvnias and by promising to receive some plooksky bakdorskynitskyna from them.

Pretty amazing value, considering that one hryvnias equals just two dollars!

What disappointing news. Heads of state -- and all likely corrupt to one degree or another -- rake in some cash, with comments herein suspicious that the reported amount is too low.

But only a week ago this sorts of threads were busy with those Russian energy plants up in flames, until it turns out some of ours are up in flames. And with it, any notion that Russia alone suffers from energy issues and producing problems.

And then before that, the beautiful egg stories, after which the old avian flu caught up with a bunch of US producers and the egg thing didn't seem so important and limited in scope rather than a worldwide thing.

Gosh, by golly and gee whiz, sounds like the REAL takeaway from so many comments in this thread and those like it would be "government is the problem, not the solution."

Governments and their leaders ARE the problem, there, here and everywhere. Degrow government.

Baba has better magical powers than you think, Rocco.

1.00 Ukrainian Hryvnia = 0.026526687 US Dollars

1 USD = 37.6979 UAH

He did all that on only 2.3143403 US Dollars!

No wonder he left America for Ukraine where underage girls are dirt cheap.

BTW, I heard he really misses keeping up with his zeeper pals.
