I have plenty of personal experience in Ukraine. You CANNOT accomplish any business there unless you are world-class corrupt. The place drips moral filth in a way you have to see to believe. It has long been known as one of the most arrogantly corrupt countries in the world. Only untraveled, seriously naive people think otherwise. That is why the Biden and Clinton have done so much “business” in Ukraine.
How much personal, boots on the ground, experience in Ukraine does ANYONE else on this board have? None? So, those who champion shipping money and weapons to Ukraine, under pretence of “helping” Ukrainian “Democracy”, or to benefit the average unfortunate who lives there, are grossly naive at best, complicit in corruption themselves, or both.
Biden smiles at you when you support Ukraine. When you support Ukraine, you support him!! It is not possible to sever the two unless you are boots on the ground personally dispensing charitable actions, so you can be sure the help gets only to those worthy of help.
There are SOME individual Ukrainians who are nice, honest, and honorable -- but it is hard to function in that environment without having daily contact with dripping corruption. I have a number of Ukranian friends whom I trust. But, yeah, Zelenski could not possibly have gotten elected President in Ukraine unless he was lapdog to the top Ukrainian AND American Oligarchs. Filth wallows in filth. It will be a mercy to the world, and to the ethnic Ukrainian people, when the current Ukrainian "Democratic" government is extinguished. Hopefully something cleaner, and more regional, can rise from the ashes. They could hardly do worse.
