[Ukraine is completely corrupt. ]
Absolutely true. Corrupt on a much grander scale, indeed.
IMO, all of eastern Europe is a dumpster fire, alternately smoking quietly and raging uncontrollably, never really at peace. It's been that way for many centuries, millennia for that matter, and nothing we can do can fundamentally improve that sad situation.
And again IMO, the Middle East is much the same. They're all crazy, and nothing we can do can fundamentally change that either.
We have so much to do to get our own house in order first. Starting with cleaning out the dumpster fire that is the current administration, and the D.C. swamp that supports it. But that's another rant entirely....
