Welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe

The long read: While the conflict with Russia heats up in the east, life for most Ukrainians is marred by corruption so endemic that even hospitals appear to be infected. Can anyone clean the country up?

Some more success with mesh wire against lancet drone. This is another case of mesh wires it actually working. Without it that 2S1 would have probably been destroyed. Lancet is still the most effective drone of the ru army:

Same is true on the other side.....

Ukraine's president was voted in, in 2019. Putin? How long has he been there?

Oh darling, let us quote Stalin who greatly understood voting.

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”

The same is true in both Ukraine and Russia as well as SA. The only difference is the kind of election tampering.

When we insult Rhamamparra and Mr Showerpower at least we can laugh about it without getting heartburn from bitterness. What I get from you guys regarding Putin is.... freakishly personal. You people are weird man.

If Cyril or Jacob invaded another country causing that much misery and death, I reckon the things said about them would be a lot darker (and rightfully so)

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They had their experiment with plutocrats and it became so dysfunctional someone like Putin had to step in and take control.

This is just how Russians are but now at least they don't have Communism weighing them down anymore. Putin effectively is a new Tzar the same way Stalin was. And that's fine if that's what the Russians want. If nothing else Putin's Russia is more functional than Stalin's Russia and the gulags which apparently are still operational do not operate on quota's anymore so there is a great improvement by itself.

I really do not see the point in insulting the man all the time as if it actually accomplishes anything. But then again I am not an old woman with an uncomfortable wet panty so what do I know.... I mean.... does he ever read all the insults people throw at him?

This is what setting the bar of expectations at the bottom of the Mariana Trench looks like...

Funny how you hold nothing else to the same standard. If Putin presented his butt to you I bet you would lick till your tongue fell off. You're not fooling anybody.

Kudos to Russia for not letting Ukraine hold onto that title..

Moscow needs to be ‘more careful’ in international airspace: US​

US officials told Russia’s ambassador to the United States that Moscow has to be more careful when flying in international airspace, White House spokesman John Kirby.
The State Department summoned Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, for the first time since the war began to express US concerns over the incident.
“The message that we delivered to the Russian ambassador is that they need to be more careful in flying in international airspace near US assets that are, again, flying in completely legal ways, conducting missions in support of our national security interests,” Kirby said in an interview with CNN.
“They’re the ones that need to be more careful.”
Kirby added the MQ-9 surveillance drone had not been recovered and may never be, given the depth of the Black Sea where it went down.

At this point his support for micro member and his cronies is obviously rooted in a religious dystopian schit hole.

Perhaps it's the rampant alcoholism and broken families in Russia that attracted him. Or perhaps it's the large sex trade and high abortions.

Either way, we know when it comes to the religious fundamentalists their Jesus scripture says "kill thy neighbor" rather than "love thy neighbor".

Russia says it will retrieve remains of sunken US drone​

Russia said it would try to retrieve the remains of a US military surveillance drone that fell into the Black Sea.
Kremlin Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told the Rossiya-1 TV channel: “I don’t know whether we will be able to retrieve it or not, but that it has to be done. And we’ll certainly work on it. I hope, of course, successfully.”
“Secondly, regarding the drone – the Americans keep saying they’re not taking part in military operations. This is the latest confirmation that they are directly participating in these activities – in the war,” he said.

I thought porn hub was blocked in Russia? What about all the 'gay' sex there?

Wagner Group launches Pornhub ad campaign to attract new recruits

Several media outlets have reported that the Wagner Group, a Russian private military company financed by Yevgeny Prigozhin, launched an advertising campaign on Pornhub, a popular pornography website.

That's not all...

It's not Russia that's pushed Ukraine to the brink of war​

When the Ukrainian president was replaced by a US-selected administration, in an entirely unconstitutional takeover, politicians such as William Hague brazenly misled parliament about the legality of what had taken place: the imposition of a pro-western government on Russia's most neuralgic and politically divided neighbour.

Putin bit back, taking a leaf out of the US street-protest playbook – even though, as in Kiev, the protests that spread from Crimea to eastern Ukraine evidently have mass support. But what had been a glorious cry for freedom in Kiev became infiltration and insatiable aggression in Sevastopol and Luhansk.

After Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia, the bulk of the western media abandoned any hint of even-handed coverage. So Putin is now routinely compared to Hitler, while the role of the fascistic right on the streets and in the new Ukrainian regime has been airbrushed out of most reporting as Putinist propaganda.

So you don't hear much about the Ukrainian government's veneration of wartime Nazi collaborators and pogromists, or the arson attacks on the homes and offices of elected communist leaders, or the integration of the extreme Right Sector into the national guard, while the anti-semitism and white supremacism of the government's ultra-nationalists is assiduously played down, and false identifications of Russian special forces are relayed as fact.

The guy has effectively been in power for 22 years, rules one of the most corrupt countries in the world but am absolutely sure he never took a ruble for himself.

Contrast Russia in the miserable 1990's:
Virtually bankrupt, mass poverty, western backed asset stripping with the proceeds going to New York, Switzerland, London and Tel Aviv; president a drunken western backed puppet; with
Russia soon after Putin came in:
Economic growth accelerated significantly; millions lifted out of poverty; socio-economic improvement, the hated oligarchs brought to heel; able to stand up for itself internationally and form alliances like BRICS, etc.

It's not hard to see why the Russian people supported Putin, and mostly still do.

Just for sh-ts and giggles, what UNICEF said about Russia's war on Ukraine in August 2022:

War in Ukraine has left nearly 1,000 children killed or injured

Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell

Keep on supporting Russia, killer of babies.

Their president was an ex-commie party boss. He was Russian. "Asset stripping my butt".

Russia soon after Putin came in:
Economic growth accelerated significantly; millions lifted out of poverty; socio-economic improvement, the hated oligarchs brought to heel; able to stand up for itself internationally and form alliances like BRICS, etc.

It's not hard to see why the Russian people supported Putin, and mostly still do.

Military still sh-t but effective against women and children.
People in the country outside of main areas still living like in the 18th-19th centuries.
War of aggression similar to Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo.

I still see virtue signalling with "anti-semitism" and "white supremacy" thrown in. A Jewish president and no African colonies or Wagner PMCs committing atrocities in Africa. But hey, Ukraine is white supremacist. Meanwhile chief Rabbi of Moscow had to run away.
