Unless Ukraine invades another country, I don’t care.

We have bridges to replace and a border to fence.

Thanks for posting this. It needs to be seen. However, worshipping Ukraine is a religion for many here on FR. You might get less flack for being against Jesus than Zelensky here.

This is an honest question, for which I do not know the answer. How corrupt was the Polish government in 1938, before Hitler and Stalin chopped it in two and each took half?

It would seem to me that sometimes in geopolitics you have to choose, not between good and bad, but between bad and worse, and we unfortunately have a penchant for choosing “worse” over “bad”: we did in Cuba in 1960, in Bosnia in 1995, and in Libya in 2011, just for three.

People don’t get it

Ukraine’s corruption IS the American deep state’s corruption

Two sides of the same coin.

Ukraine ping

Ukraine has killed 100K Russians in less than a year, on the basis of roughly the same annual expenditures allocated to Afghanistan. Ukrainian equipment and infrastructure is being destroyed by Russian missile and tube artillery on a minute by minute basis. If Ukrainian officials have enough excess resources from these piddling aid amounts to skim while fighting a large scale conflict, I’d call the proceeds a well-deserved performance bonus. Note that 100K dead is likely more KIA than we inflicted on the Taliban in 20 years, for a total tab of ~$1T.

I thought we’d never get to balance the books on the 100K dead GI’s the Russians inflicted on us in Korea and Vietnam. However, the Ukrainians are singlehandedly achieving, with hand-me-downs from us, what seemed impossible prior to the invasion. Through aid to Ukraine, we are paying the Russians back on a one-for-one basis for the loss of our young men all those years ago.

In every thread about Ukraine we hear about how the globalists, WEF, and George Soros types are in favor of Ukraine, but against Russia. Sometimes we even hear that the Russians are fighting against the globalists, and they invaded Ukraine to save the world from the globalists and the WEF.

But now we learn that Transparency International thinks Ukraine is a more corrupt than typical country. And guess who funds Transparency International to make that list of countries?

All the usual globalist entities, including George Soros.

So is George Soros on our side now?

when your dealing with a programmed populace it is easy to pull the wool over their eyes. Short Term Memory, Long Term Memory both incapacitated.

[Bonemaker]

Not anywhere near as corrupt as our federal, state and local governments. Not even close.

I prefer the term Bidenwashing
