    I assume the adults in the room don’t have “spite Russia” on their list of priorities. These twitwits should focus on why their unpreferred candidates are not advocating for the best interests of the US. I am sure those arguments exist.

      I admit I was also stumped by his question.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            DIdn't watch, as I said, but its kind of fun to watch flash-in-the-pan Vivek.

            Smart guy - arrogant AF, immature AF, obnoxious AF. I can see why he did well in business. That's the reason Donald Trump got elected he'll never make it in politics.

                    He's a fighter and probably has some sadism lurking underneath, which he thinks he can get away with as long as "the other person started it".

                      I'd be willing to bet he has a high IQ too 🙂

                      EQ, not so much. He's socially incompetent.

                          To be honest, what with BoJo, Trump, Biden etc. I think I've had enough of people who can't string coherent sentences together being in charge of countries.

                            There is plenty to be said about Ukraine not being an idyllic liberal democracy, but nobody is saying it. In the transparent battle for the hearts and minds of western voters, messaging is carefully sculpted.

                              It does seem an unfortunate lack of ability for that particular position. every word out of your mouth is parsed to the nth degree.

                                There's plenty of corruption, I'm sure, as there is in most of the countries in that region. It's still a shit-ton better than the barbaric criminal dictatorship in charge of Russia.

                                Calling him a Nazi is echoing Russian propaganda. What an amazing coincidence. Oh sorry, total accident, Freudian slip. I meant that guy in Canada.

                                  There is a choice.

                                  The West can either support a thoroughly corrupt authoritarian regime - a mafia state- that extorts and makes war with its neighbours and sows political mischief internationally.

                                  Or

                                  The West can give its support to a chronically corrupted democracy that has been trying to deal with its past, establish a rule of law and defend its right to exist as a sovereign nation.

                                  I know which one of the two I will support.

                                    Nonsense. Corruption in Ukraine has been openly discussed and addressed since the 90’s. It has prevented Ukraine from becoming a member not only of the EU but a number of other international organisations.

                                    No it’s not an idyllic liberal democracy by any means. But it is not moving towards becoming a totalitarian mafia state like its hegemonic neighbour.

                                        I am sure it’s a hotly discussed topic in your circles. The subject doesn’t come up in the messaging that trickles its way to me, except from those who don’t mind being labeled pro Russia agents.
