Whatever U.S. Elites Are Defending In Ukraine, It Isn’t Democracy

It’s getting harder and harder to pretend the war in Ukraine, now in its third year, is about “defending democracy,” as our political elites in Washington insist.

This is especially true when Secretary of State Antony Blinken shows up in Ukraine to deliver billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund the war, proclaims that Ukraine’s scheduled presidential elections this spring are canceled until “conditions allow” (Ukraine has not held elections since 2019), and then jaunts off to a popular Kyiv nightclub to play a boomerish cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

That actually happened this week.

Ukraine's a place the world's 'elites' launder their money. It's one of the most corrupt countries in the world and we don't ask for ANY accounting of the billions we give them. It's NOT a democracy. Period.

No need to keep paying him off- just threaten to expose him
