    We don’t have corruption in the US because we call it lobbying.

    The thing these jokers never seem to comprehend is most of this corruption in Ukraine is because of their previous ties to Russia and the former Soviet Union. It isn’t a random or coincidental phenomenon. The Russian gangster state is the nexus for the corruption in much of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet bloc states which never escaped their sphere, this includes Ukraine which while an independent state has had its share of Russian influence.

    The states that DID more successfully detach themselves from Russia generally became more successful and have relatively less corruption.

    I think if joey would have had some balls he could have ended things early on. Putin is a thug and knew joey would stand idly by when he moved on the Ukraine.

    stood idly by?!? Biden was a key person to why Ukraine survived, especially in the first month. He rallied allies to help pump armaments into Ukraine and shared with the world what Russia was planning to do. It was close. He also spearheaded economic sanctions which are finally starting to wallop Russia. (21% int rates and 9% inflation reported but expected higher). I assume since you take more of a position of appeasing Putin you wouldn’t support sending US troops.

    I do NOT support sending troops - your jump to how that is somehow appeasing Putin is laughable

    not sure I get the gotcha, the ravages of deforestation in the Amazon is a concern for many.
