Ukraine has problems with corruption, like many places. It would appear to me that much of the corruption is tied to oligarchs who are friendly with Putin. The people were allowed to elect a president who promised to tackle corruption. That is because it is a free, democratic country.
Whereas Russia is a dictatorship run by a mafia, where if you speak out in any way against the criminal leadership you’ll end up anywhere from being beaten up by police to being thrown out of a window to being shot to being poisoned to being murdered in prison.
From the guy who avoided the question. Captian irony once again. And in fact my reply did address your post. I don’t think Ukraine joining NATO is on the cards at all.
I just asked you a simple enough question that I thought related to what you said. You avoided it and I replied and then you said I avoided the question, after you repeatedly avoided the fairly simple question.
This is a very odd interaction. I’ll leave you off.
What is the question? The question as regards the reality of what is happening with Russia having their troops mounted on the Ukrainian border, prepared for war?
The amount of dirty Russian money floating around the west, and especially Britain, is a disgrace. Those assets need to be frozen and seized and there needs to be a massive overhaul of politics so that those who enable it are ousted.
NATO and the post World War II order are also the only people who can help Ukraine and its people to remain a free, democratic, independent country in the face of a warmongering fascist mafia state.
You have chosen to give your support to that warmongering fascist mafia state.
