REPORT: Top Ukraine Advisor Claims ‘People Are Stealing Like There’s No Tomorrow’ Amid War With Russia

A Ukrainian aide to President Volodymyr Zelensky told Time Magazine on Monday that corruption remains a rampant problem in the country.

“People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow,” a top aide to Zelensky told Time Magazine about bribery and the “pocketing” of “state funds.” The statement was apparently made after the aide asked the reporter “to turn off my audio recorder so he could speak more freely,” Time reported.

“I’ve sat in a lot of briefings where I was promised Ukraine doesn’t have a corruption problem. The Biden admin has lied to us. Not one more penny to Ukraine,” Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance said on Twitter in response to the article.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yep.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

And sold to whom?!   It's enough of anything to Ukraine.

People who are given cash instead of weapons don't sell weapons for cash.
