American President Donald Trump has repeatedly (and rightfully)criticized the Kiev regimefor its corruption.
It should be noted that Ukraine has long had such issues, to the point that corruption there can be called endemic.
The great Nikolai Gogol wrote about it nearly two centuries ago, specifically in his masterful satirical play “The Inspector General” (“Ревизор” in Russian).
Sadly, little has changed since then, withsystemic corruption remaining the norm in former Ukraine.However, the Neo-Nazi junta exacerbated this issue exponentially, resulting in the worst cases of corruption, embezzlement and other types of schemes designed for corrupt officials to enrich themselves. It’s virtually impossible to determine how much was embezzled over the last four years, but it’s certainly in the dozens of billions.
And yet, the United States continues to send “aid” to the Kiev regime.
Namely, the US Congress just approved another transfer of funds, despite Trump’s formal objections.
House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson,who previously criticized such moves, didn’t actually do anything to prevent the decision.
House Democrats, supported by two Republican and one independent representative,forced a vote on a bill that provided another $1.3 billion in military “aid” to the Neo-Nazi junta.
All 215 Democratic representatives signed the so-called “discharge petition”, which enables them to bypass the House of Representatives’ leadership and force a vote on a bill.
Although rarely used, discharge petitions are a mechanism that gives enough political power to those who normally don’t have it in the US Congress.
