"Corruption Equals Russia"?

That's the conclusion when they are talking about the blatant CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE?

"Just believe me, don't believe your lying eyes."

Is that how this goes?

The article states that Zelensky's "closest adviser" had to resign (that's the one that was sent to the Russian Front)?

And the CONCLUSION of Applebaum and Rev. Aholony is: "OMG RUSSIAN CORRUPTION!!!!"

No.

UKRAINIAN CORRUPTION at the very highest levels.

Did it ever, never, even a little bit, ever, possibly, occur to the NY Times and Rev. JackWateroni that maybe, just possibly, maybe, even a little bit, Ukraine might be doing a little bit better in its war effort against Russia

IF ITS ENTIRE TOP LEVEL POLITICAL establishment wasn't thoroughly CORRUPT?

No. It's ALL RUSSIA's fault.

Not a little, teensy eensy weensy bit Zelensky's fault.

Oh yeah Trump's fault too. Don't forget that.

Can't be Biden's fault. No siree. When he had a prosecutor fired, who was investigating corruption, no siree, that was good thing, don't you know.

Give it up.

You people are just plain stupid.
