Description

The rampant corruption in Ukraine is no secret, but now more details are emerging about just how little of the U.S. tax dollars sent to Ukraine are winding up in grifters’ pockets. Journalist Seymour Hersh has uncovered evidence that a substantial portion of military hardware sent to Ukraine winds up being sold on the black market. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Hersh about the widespread graft in Ukraine and President Zelensky’s weak efforts to combat corruption.

The Guardian have been singing the praises of brave Ukraine but in 2015 the headline was 'the most corrupt country in Europe'. Exactly how the elemental stench of Ukraine was transformed into a rose garden is one of the most extraordinary magic trick I have ever seen.

Zelensky is a front man for people who are really running the show. Nothing will get better if we keep focusing on the puppets.

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.” ~ General, Smedley D. Butler, 'War is a Racket'

If your generals are angrier about not getting their cut than they are about dead soldiers, you are well on the way to defeat.

So our tax dollars are paying for Ukraine's social security and retirement pensions? Unbelievable.

In the late 90's, an acquaintance of mine wanted to develop a resort in Ukraine on the Danube Delta. He found that he could not get anywhere without being asked for bribes by officials. Fed up, he went to Russia and succeeded in developing a resort north of Moscow without ever being asked for bribes. Interesting.
