Membership talks cannot progress until the former Soviet state cleans up, a major blow to Volodymyr Zelensky
LOVE THE SPRINKLING IN OF ‘SOVIET’ HERE AS IF THE CORRUPTION COMES FROM ITS SOCIALIST PAST
I’m sure that is how it was intended, same for the sentence:
Ukraine has suffered from corruption, particularly in its armed forces, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
But the way I read it and I think the way those of us who actually know about what went down after the dissolution of the USSR, people who know what capitalism is, read it as “immediately after capitalists took control, corruption inevitably became rampant.” In other words, the truth of the matter.
When the Ukrainian regime surrenders and the imperial debt repayments obliterate any of the country’s remaining economic potential, every regular Ukrainian that immigrates further toward the imperial core looking for work is just going to be spat on and called a dirty Russian by all the same people flying Ukraine flags outside their houses today.
Azov compadres eat pizza with blinken
Hoard the money received by America
Give their conscripts clapped out 80s era tanks and border barriers made of oatmeal
Sell a bunch of pathetic tchotchkes
Watch your people suffer in rolling blackouts while you (presumably) sit somewhere comfortable with consistent electricity
Can’t joint SHITO because you’re too corrupt even for them
Blackrock is also taking your shit
Grift was fun while it lasted huh? I really wanna hear what the NATO left has to say about this, but I’m also suffering a summer depression atm so maybe I’ll pass.
American flag bio liberals really having a rough 7 days
This is basically the definition of cumstering and dumpstering but on the nation state level
Many such examples. See also, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania. Surely, any day now… the EU will let them in. Any…day… surely also Kosovo will be a fully legitimate state and also allowed in to the EU… standing by… 25 years later any day, guys!
