But the difference is....for those not geopolitically astute,
Russia and China are NOT in any danger of disappearing.
While Ukraine may end up with a less corrupt government.
Of course China is the biggest briber. They have the most money, with economy 10 times bigger than Russia. We buy so many of our products made in China, and China lends us money to be able to buy them.
Ukraine has been greatly improving on the corruption ratings since the 2014 days and is rated as far less corrupt than Russia today.
If bribery=influence on the US government, then both Russia and China have lots more influence.
But in fact this is far less important than domestic bribery, or less easily identified influence on politicians interests, which is vastly greater in scale.
