Before the war, Zelensky corruption was well documented.

But with all the graft opportunities that a war provides, Zelensky is now purer than pure /sarc

“So I get repeated insults back but no evidence.”

That’s pretty much the best way to tell you’re dealing with a Ruzzia supporter is when they open their discussion with an insult.

Also, if they insult your mental or emotional state there’s a good chance you’re dealing with an actual Russian. Such insults are tantamount to death threats in Russia. Speaking such insults in Moscow would be fighting words.

By contrast actual Chinese trolls tend to use insults with animals featured in them. Don’t see too many of those around here lately.

Less parroted and ridiculous sounding than “Ghost of Kiev.”

“Yes, the Snake is Fake, everyone can see that.”

Yet you used it anyway. If your purpose is to make a point and sway your opponent to your side then stick to the facts. The facts will always speak for themselves.

When did the federal government hand Trump billions of dollars with no accountability?

The “snake” is real and slithered away from any facts.

“My source was Seymour Hersh not the Kremlin.”

Well there’s a real credible source. 🙄

Why not post something from common dreams, huffpo, or some other leftist America hating rag while you’re at it?

“Nobody bought them, I pointed that out when delta7 first started pushing the story on FR.”

Since the Neocons WILL NOT allow auditing of the BILLIONS sent to Ukraine, we’ll never know for sure as to what’s being bought...

LOL, those two yachts are still for sale, just like they were all along while you guys were pushing this fake story.

You are STILL fighting to keep it alive.
