Corrupt people don't like competition, and they like honest people taking down corrupt a lot less. Maybe he doesn't like that Zelensky took down Putin's oligarch buddies like Ihor Kolomoyskiy and Viktor Medvedchuk. Junker would know about corruption, such as using political office to allow tax evasion.

Then there is the matter of how the Luxembourg euthanasia law was passed. The Catholic monarch of Luxembourg was Grand Duke Henri. When the chamber of deputies passed a euthanasia law, he vetoed it. In response to this, Prime Minister, Jean-Claude Juncker pushed through legislation stripping Henri of his authority, making his role as monarch meaningless. Then passed the euthanasia law.

Obviously, he was a perfect choice to have such long elected office in the EU. Next time look up who someone is and their reputation her before posting. Hint: Juncker wore out his welcome among conservatives a long time ago.

What a funny little reply you've made. Thinking you're telling me something I did not know. Hubris becomes you.

Of course, I know who Juncker is, and am quite able to do my own research. I do not cite him because I admire him, as does the original poster admires her headliner, Davydov.

I cite him because, though a complete jackass, his statements were covered throughout the world press show a shift in narrative.

As to the EU enthusiasm with euthanasia and abortion, the US is not far behind when one cites the likes of the Democrats and RINOs here, none of whom I would cite because I admire them, but all of whom I would cite because sometimes their views prove a point.

I have cited Mein Kampf to illustrate a point, though I am not a Nazi. I have cited the Communist Manifesto, though I am no Communist. I have cited the Koran, though I am no Muslim. And I will cite Juncker, another jackass, when I choose to illustrate a point.

The POINT, Widget Jr, is that the narrative in the worldwide media seems to be shifting.

Another point that I will cite is that there is a cottage industry grown up around what some call war porn. Monetized YouTube videos a plenty, complete as channels with seeking donations and support and subscriber-ship and tips and the selling of "merch" all as money makers on the backs of the Ukraine-Russia war. It is proved with citations and links and and the large share of these "Ukraine KaBoom" channels are uploaded from the United States, so residents here are pocketing a pretty penny to entertain those who would watch. Click. Donate. Money.

Because for many, THAT is what this is all about. Corruption in so many places. Turn over some more rocks, friend. There's more corruption to be seen.
