“We all know Ukraine is an Oligarchy, and corrupt as all get out. Just ask Joe and Hunter.”
The difference between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine was busy implementing the requisite judicial, governmental, civil rights, and contract reforms for joining the European Union.
This is what truly alarmed Putin was the prospect of a prosperous European country on the border of a backwards oligarchy. Can’t have the Russian people getting any silly ideas about decent government, can we?
And now Russia is bleeding itself white in this failed war of conquest.
Ceterum censeo Ruthenia esse delendam.
For someone who has his head on straight on other topics - including the jabs - you sure tripped and fell deep into your nether region on Ukraine.
