How deep is the corruption in Ukraine, and which prominent European (and American) figures are involved? From Martin Jay at strategic-culture.su:
Rutte knows that if Zelensky is replaced, the exposure of crooked EU officials might bring down the whole project in Brussels, including NATO.
Mark Rutte is not as dumb as he looks. He knows that if Zelensky is replaced, the exposure of crooked EU officials might bring down the whole project in Brussels, including NATO.
If there has ever been a twisted dichotomy of logic, it was always the West calling for bigger defence spending to prepare for a war with Russia, while in the same breath claiming that Russia was losing the war in Ukraine.
But now things are different. Not only is Russia gaining ground and certain to win the war, but there is now a string of indicators from the West that point observers toward this conclusion. The reluctance of Trump to arm the Ukrainians, the speed with which the latest proposal was put together, the failure of Europeans to agree on using Russian assets to keep the Kiev regime afloat—the list goes on. But the one thing that underlines Russia’s imminent victory is the repeated claim by EU heads of state, along with the NATO boss himself, in the press: that a war with Russia is only a matter of years away, and that EU governments need to ramp up their defence spending.
The more you hear this, you know the closer and closer Russian soldiers are to taking any number of key Ukrainian towns along the line – with an inevitable rush to take Odessa after that, many experts predict.
NATO is in a panic. Not a panic simply because its own war with Russia in Ukraine isn’t working, but more of an existential one as EU citizens struggle to heat their homes or even eat properly, many will ask their own elites why they have to suffer more for this relic of a defence organisation which is struggling more and more to define itself in modern times, but requires more and more money. The more NATO loses, the more money it needs to continue.
They go down without the stolen Russian money?
A wretched hive of rump vassals.
