From the article....”In Russia, “corrupt” is not an adjective. Corrupt is a noun, a proper noun, the word for the name and nature of the place.”
Sounds like Ukraine and our country too....
Maybe you'd like us to believe there is a moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, primarily since it supports your rather notorious job here on FR to get people on this forum to either support Russia wholeheartedly or else be too confused to come to our own opinion (the two classic objectives of Soviet propaganda). But when it comes down to it, indeed, not every culture is equal. Russia is an example of a state that has been thoroughly deprived of God's grace, unfortunately. It is Romans 3, the whole list down, a living testimony of what happens to the human soul when it is abandoned by God.
I paid plenty of bribes when I went to Ukraine to get married. No matter that I followed the instructions to the letter, I would always be missing some important document or signature, a situation that could be quickly remedied for a small "gift".
I'm still paying bribes from America. I paid a bribe to get a job for my brother in law. Cheaper than continuing to send him money. That's how the place works.
Unfortunately true. Mainly due to Russia spreading their syphilis over there for so long.
