The US corruption problem is concentrated at the top of the social system. It’s not the petty corruption that is more obviously visible and noted in surveys, on which these rankings are based.
One has to get into econometrics to estimate the “corruption tax” burden.
What was your previous screen name?
So you made it up.

What was your previous screen name?
Cant admit your genocide is nonsense can you?
How does a mind like that tick?
What was your previous screen name?
Anything you want it to be friend.
You remind of a relative who insisted the holocaust didnt happen. So I simply asked well where did these missing million go?
Storms off in a huff. The pride overtakes everything. Thats why it probably the worst sin. Its the root of a lot of evil. Look at Putin,too prideful to admit to the cluster he created, so people must die.
The FTX failure and scandal which had Ukrainian connections and Hunter Biden's laptop are just two examples that drive a stake through your uninformed blathering...
Foreign political funding in the US, based on numerous investigations,
Investigations like the one that Biden stopped by threatening to withhold a $Billion dollars in aid? The Ukraine has an unbelievably corrupt government that has been the recipient of $Hundreds of Billions of taxpayer funds, a percentage of which have made it back into the pockets of Democrat and deep state politicians and their families. That is called “money laundering” poindxter.
Only if you ignore the facts, and the many people involved.
Investigations which have already turned up about 10x the Burisima payoffs to the Biden family, but from Chinese and Romanian sources -
Add the known Russian payoff via the Mayor of Moscows wife.
Ukraine is just one known case out of a larger number of other known cases, out of what is probably a large number of other cases not yet reported.
There are lots of facts.
The bigger fact is that the US political system is on the take, and they take from everyone. Ukraine isn’t special. Its one small source of grift in a world that’s full of people willing to pay for US government favors.
Hunter Bidens laptop lists lots of contacts with foreign entities, mostly Chinese.
You are standing on the corner while a gang of criminals is robbing and killing a bus load of senior citizens and you are calling 911 about a car that didn’t come to a complete stop when making a free right.
Countless of $Billions of dollars have been going to Ukraine with what can be charitably described as no accountability... You somehow have not realized that the foxes are guarding the henhouse.
Dinesh D’Souza makes a $10,000 contribution to a failing political campaign and he gets sent to prison. $Millions from FTX go to Democrat and Deep State politicians and basically nothing happens to the people who fleeced $Billions from the taxpayers and investors. Are the politicians giving the money back? No, sorry!
And yes, the Chinese are the biggest threat to our future. But this has nothing to do with the Shenanigans that have been going on in Ukraine...
The Chinese are the largest source of foreign-sourced political payoffs, right now.
This system of corruption is all of a piece, and in this context Ukraine is just one part of a vastly larger whole.
Perspective is a necessary thing.
No one really knows the extent of corruption around the world. And lack of perspective is what I was trying to point out with the analogy that I provided.
Russia has been very restrained but that’s ending
They fell for negotiations talk early
Been grinding it out since
It benefits them to go slow
Ukraine gets chewed up to the point all our money
What actually gets to the Uke forces simply won’t matter
