[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't stand Friedman, but good. Seeing the excuses made for and the willful inability to call dysfunction for what it is as it relates to Ukraine's power elite has been tiresome. They're renowned for venality to the point that I consider it to be an aspect of their national character. Russia is in heel with them on that aspect of their political life... but LOL at any idea that Ukraine doesn't have massive internal structural problems. Hauling in NGO's to shoehorn "democracy" into their public life isn't going to fix these corrupt impulses and attitudes, either.[/quote]

Totally ignoring the fact that Zelenskyy ran as a political outsider on an anti-corruption platform sticking his thumb in the eye of the power elite, and was making many changes to fix these problems before Ukraine was attacked by Russia.  And I believe part of why Russia attacked was because they saw their remaining influence with the power elite waning due to those changes.[/quote]

The republicans are worst.[/quote]
