Doren,
Ukraine fires corruption the Russian promote corruption.
Exactly. No one should assume that Ukraine is totally corruption-free. A culture of cronyism cannot be uprooted in the space of a single decade or two.

It can even be argued that, because Ukraine "fires corruption," PooTin felt motivated to go in and erase Ukraine off the map.

Because PooTin believes that a democratic Ukraine with anti-corruption measures in place is indeed an existential threat to his kleptocracy. The more Ukraine can prove that it can democratize and follow Western cultural norms, the more RuZZians will reject their unholy alliance with Dear Leader PooTin.

Hence the reason why PooTin is working overtime to keep his people in the dark as he continues to pursue his disastrous war of choice.

Biden More Than Doubles U.S. Deficit in 2023… and the Fiscal Year Isn’t Over Yet!

The United States budget deficit has doubled under President Joe Biden; hitting $1.6 trillion in the first 10 months of the fiscal year. The continued deterioration of the fiscal state of the U.S. is another blow to Bidenomics, the set of economic agenda items that the Biden White House has pinned their re-election hopes on.

In a thread on X (formerly Twitter), economist EJ Antoni explained that the U.S. Treasury “…continues hemorrhaging cash as spending balloons, receipts fall; deficit and interest on the debt keep rising.” Antoni noted net interest payments on the U.S. debt exceeded spending on national defense, medicare, veterans benefits and services, and transportation.

Even more concerning is that the Fiscal-Year-To-Date’s deficit is already $238 billion above the last Fiscal Year’s entire deficit. There are still two months remaining in the current Fiscal Year.

The negative news on the U.S. deficit only darkens the storm clouds over the U.S. economy. The July Consumer Price Index numbers signaled a re-acceleration in inflation – despite many in the mainstream media claiming that the inflation crisis was over. In response to the re-acceleration of inflation in July, Antoni stated:

The CPI has risen so much faster than wages under Biden that the average American worker effectively paid a $4.62 an hour inflation tax in July. And yet, many components of the CPI are understating the realities faced by Americans, including housing. The monthly payment on a median price home today is twice what it was in January 2021.

Last wee, Fitch Ratings downgraded U.S. government debt from AAA to AA+ and projected the American economy would enter into a recession in late 2023 or early 2024.

Ukraine’s President Poroshenko Admitted Overthrow Of Yanukovych Was A Coup

June 20, 2015

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has sent to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine a query concerning the constitutionality of the law of Ukraine on depriving Viktor Yanukovych of the title of the president of Ukraine, the court's press service reported.

"Since the law, whose constitutionality is challenged, does not have a regulative nature, having passed it, the Verkhovna Rada acted contrary to the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine, which means that this contradicts Part 2 of Article 19 of the Constitution, which obliges the parliament to act within the powers and in the manner provided by the Constitution of Ukraine. In this connection, I request recognizing the law of Ukraine on depriving Viktor Yanukovych of the title of the president of Ukraine dated February 4, 2015, as such which does not meet the Constitution of Ukraine, that is unconstitutional," the president's query reads.
