‘Israel is not our friend’: Neo-Nazis salute Hitler in march through Wisconsin town
I get it, “Youcrayne” is your special brand of being a weirdo.
We contributed to Ukraine’s corruption by allowing our politicians kith & kin to go there and peddle favors and access. We all know about Hunter Biden, there also was one of Romney’s sons, a son of Pelosi. I am sure there were US politician relatives out there on the ‘game’. Also remember as VP Biden got a Ukrainian anticorruption prosecutor (One that was actually doing his job!) fired! What kind of lesson does that teach about the US’s seriousness on corruption.
Frankly I find all this talk about Ukraine’s terrible corruption a bit hypocritical. We should pick up a mirror and look at our political corruption. I’ve seen it in action from city to county to state to federal! I seriously doubt that what I saw was unique and isolated!
Nothing I have said should be interpreted as me wanting any deeper intervention into the quarrels of the Slavs!
“Ukraine is ranked 116 out of 180 Nations, in terms of least corruption. Russia is at 137”

Thank you Timber Rattler, I think we have made some progress here - thanks to your findings on Russia being ranked way worse than Ukraine when it comes to corruption.
At least the pro-russia people can’t claim anymore the supposed righteousness and purity of Russia... Indeed the mafia leader Putin is not mother Theresia. He is more like Kim Jong Un... Neo-Sovietism at its finest.
Nothing I have said should be interpreted as me wanting any deeper intervention into the quarrels of the Slavs!I don't think you need to worry about people caring what someone describes nearly two years of full out war as a "quarrel", has say about anything.
Nailed it. What is Milei going to do, send some rocks?
No, it's shrewd, why bust the next IMF installment over a nothingburger?
Maybe use the IMF jackpot to lease an AC-130 gunship to circle lazily over Tigre lofl!
The farther away from Soviet/Russian influence Ukraine gets the more effective their anti-corruption efforts have been, Zelensky formed a political party to fight corruption and it has obviously improved the situation in Ukraine.
What is interesting is that Putin’s Russia is becoming so much more corrupt over those same years.
Thanks for clarifying I am correct.
It’s funny how you think posting like a deranged weirdo helps you win arguments.
But your crushed feelings are more important so keep revealing your weirdness with “Youcrayne”.
OK, point well taken!
Picking neither is a real and obvious option, refused of so many these days.

“What is it about the marauder nation Russia that you love?”
Why do you claim that? - I only oppose dumping money and weapons into Ukraine.
“If people are against Ukraine because they are corrupt then they must be against Russia invading”
Me too. NO NEED for the Neocons to force this war on Russia. But tough crap now, Russia will FINISH this war.
“and Russia is far more corrupt than Ukraine,”
No one here is pushing for $100B for Russia, and when they do, I’ll be the first to oppose it too.
No you won’t, your devotion to Russia goes many years back and Russia is where your loyalties lie.
Thanks for your excellent comment, Zeeper Berlin_freezer!
And thanks for the compliment.
“The argument — Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine — is the equivalent of the Bloods and Crips fighting, and one is supposed to pick their favorite.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What you said is unreasonable.
Comparing Bloods and Crips, to the Russian army invading and massacring men, women and children by the tens of thousands for imperialistic reasons in Ukraine... is an ENTIRELY different thing. We are talking about war crimes here, and state sponsored terrorism on an industrial scale.
We are talking about close to 400.000 Russian and Ukrainian deaths - just to satisfy Putin’s never-ending war called “Special Operation”.
Putin has opened the gates of hell, destroying human life not seen since WWII.
Me too. NO NEED for the Neocons to force this war on Russia. But tough crap now, Russia will FINISH this war.You have names instead of the usual angry rant about neocons?
What neocons forced the war on Russia and how?
Happy to show a devoted Qtard is here to tell us how the world should be with crazy memes.
BTW, could you tell me what a “Zeeper” is?
