I'll bet they did Nazi that coming.
And how much of that stolen money got funneled back to politicians and the dark side through shell companies.
Sounds like itdoesn’t really matter what they try to do, i.e. the money for whatever they hope to accomplish will just get stolen.
Decentralization of the power grid - smart idea to out smart the Russians
Had to go to Ukraine on a business trip. While dining in a restaurant noticed a small chop at the bottom of the menu with a set of initials. Asked my “handler” what that was about and was told it is a government inspection stamp showing the shop had all the ingredients to make the meals. That is WAY too much government.
Yeah they’re crooked.
“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government”
—Thomas Jefferson
Of course it has.
“-The reason for this, Ukrainian sources have been saying publicly and Russian military assessments now confirm, is that most of the money which the US, the European Union, and the World Bank have provided Kiev officials over the past nine months to repair, reconstruct, and prepare the country’s power generating and distribution system for the coming winter has been stolen.-”
I wonder who stole it. How in Hell have they been able to steal billions of dollars? “ most of the money “ It had to be billions of dollars. If they had three billion dollars and two billion dollars were stolen, that is a staggering sum. Billions of dollars were stolen. Of course we know that they could not afford to repair the electric grid. They had to spend billions of dollars on bribes to keep getting the money to steal. It really is a crime. The fact that people like Mitch McConnell are still in favor of sending more money makes me question their motives.
