Famously corrupt business of importing natural gas into ukraine from russia. yeah, that is fantastically corrupt, and she did have something to do with it. she tried to clean it up. so they prosecuted her and said she was the corrupt one. and that s how corruption can be really useful. corruption isn t always a cancer. corruption isn t always a stain. corruption is something they sometimes make happen on purpose. it can be really useful to unscrupulous and predatory political figures. that s why you might want to create it on purpose and why russia has gone out of their way to do so in ukraine, which has led to the situation in which our president is now going to be impeached for his dealings with ukraine. i mean, the basic idea is if you ve created a tar pit of corruption somewhere, one of the things that gives you is not only the ability to control the people who are in that tarry mess. it s the ability to make new allegations of corruption against anyone who even brushes by that mes
This guy dmitri firtash. she ran for office saying she would clean up that corruption. she went right at that deal, she undid that deal, and then they prosecuted her for some vague allegation that she had something to do with the famously corrupt business of importing natural gas into ukraine from russia. yeah, that is fantastically corrupt, and she did have something to do with it. she tried to clean it up, so they prosecuted her and said she was the corrupt one. and that s how corruption can be really useful. corruption isn t always a cancer. corruption isn t always a stain. corruption is something they sometimes make happen on purpose. it can be useful for predatory political figures. that s why russia has gone out of their way to do so in ukraine which has led to the situation in which our president is now going to be impeached for his dealings with ukraine. i mean, the basic idea is if you ve created a tar pit of
