Believe it or not, it was once in vogue on FR to harp on Ukraine's corruption, particularly during Trump's impeachment.
And you were one of them. In November 2019, you posted the following:
///
"in an apparent effort to bolster his reelection chances"
That is of course an entirely made up opinion. It is just as likely that it was "in an apparent effort to root out corruption of the sort so commonly practiced by Democrats" or "in an apparent effort to reduce corruption in a country, Ukraine, infamous for political corruption, since we are now providing them with lethal military aid including anti-tank missiles which we don't want diverted for cash, or otherwise misused"
The only people characterizing the government's dealing with Ukraine as something intended to "bolster" re-election chances are using it for that exact purpose themselves for their own candidates. Why else would the Democrats all be involved with it?
See post 61 for his opinion on Ukraine’s corruption in 2019.
I wonder what exactly happened between November 2019 and now that convinced him Ukraine’s reputation as a corrupt country was undeserved?

That is funny right there.
They get caught with their lies and then have to explain them.
NAFO troll.....
Didn’t they “tell” us that that would never happen? (where have we heard THAT before /s)
Indeed.
Further proof that believing anything coming from this idiot ridden administration and the government, in general, is near about a LIE.
Let American body bags start coming home though and watch as major shat hits the roof. That is if those American body bags get remotely reported by the corrupt propaganda ridden media......
You just know it’s coming
This is larger than that. It appears to be a Equipment Delivery Team.
Whoa...
I was a 15 year old 9th grader at the time. I still remember the frontpage headline and picture of the Marine amphibious landing in the afternoon paper that I delivered that day. I now regret the feeling of elation and pride in my country that I felt at the time. I'm not falling for it this time.
They have been in Poland for the last 6 months.
Biden started WWIII.
Good thing we are still officially not helping Ukraine.
A handful of soldiers, way behind the lines, in inspect weapons sent by US, and the entire thread freaks out seeing visions of Nam and nuclear war. Just a tad over the top hyperbole.
Many people would be shocked to find out how many countries US Special Forces (and regular forces) are in currently. Many of them have been there for decades without the general public being aware of it.
and?
Yes we’re talking about the same thing haha. It was so blatant that they removed the “death count” in the Obama years. They are pure evil!!!
Sales? We gave them weapons AND cash. They didn't buy anything but a few politicians.
great article,thanks
Geopolitical matters are a funny thing, I’ve come to realize; it’s so startlingly easy for someone’s opinion about another country to be manipulated to the opposite, even if the underlying facts supporting the prior opinion have not changed in the slightest. International relations are messy like that, as an overview of European history shows.
Litle wonder George Washington warned his fellows to avoid foreign entanglements.
