  • Axe that's absolutely true even though I don't think anybody it's going to listen.

    Look at the amount of time this board has wasted arguing political party vs political party. Truly meaningless in my estimation. We all understand that the media will never give us the straight story. As for the corruption Ukraine has been one of the most corrupt countries on the face of the Earth for a long long time.

    Of course it's true. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. Ukraine her leadership and citizens may certainly be on the wrong end of the Russian invasion but that has nothing to do with the fact that the country is a corrupt cesspool. Second worst in Europe and worse than Russia which I assume is pretty bas.

    They are not worse than Russia.  The Russian government is not only corrupt but evil.  I hope they all burn.
