In reply to Barry.

Understood.
I’ve carefully differentiated my own support between Ukrainians in general, rather than any Zelensky-mania, for a variety of reasons. Not least of which is that governments come and go, but borders don’t.
But to be fair, pretty much any government the U.S. has ever supported, anywhere, 1900-present, has turned out to be corrupt. (Philippines, Iran, anything in Africa, Central, or South America, etc. ad infinitum). Holding that against Ukraine, in this instance, seems rather petty and short-sighted, given the circumstances. That’s also why I’d rather see them handed arms and ammunition, rather than pallets of cash. The former can be turned in the latter, but not so much when you’re under daily attack by a power with four to ten times your strength, on paper.

Error happened. 1
