The reshuffling comes amid a corruption scandal that swept through the upper echelons of Ukraine's government last month.

Remember the war between the States?

How many top leaders did Lincoln replace?

How corrupt was DC then?

LOL - I wasn’t around then.

I’ve read that a lot of Zeepers are a bunch of really old guys, but going back to the 1860s?

That’s approaching Methuselah territory. 😏

Apology accepted.

I assumed you had a sense of humor. I keep forgetting that a lot of ‘lennials are lacking that trait.

Carry on!

I’ve been told I have an outstanding sense of humor.

Maybe I only need to see something humorous

I long ago stopped trying to have reasonable discussions with Ukrainiacs. It’s an exercise in futility. Same with trying to talk with liberals.

Actually FP - you misread Ivan

The collapse of the most corrupt nation on earth has begun in earnest. Get out the popcorn and pull up a chair.

He’s referring to “the most corrupt nation on Earth” - Putin’s Russia.

It seems that Ivan is waiting for Putin’s regime to collapse
