But it's OK because there is corruption in the Ukraine.
Surveys are directed falsehoods. I intentionally lie on any survey calls I receive.Because they make most of the things we use(from all vehicle oil filters to most electronics and consumer goods),and Taiwan makes most of the chips(also recognize by the USA at the UN as part of China).
Changing that dynamic will take a very long time.
If you need or will need it I suggest you stock up now. It would not take much for prices to explode as one event could crash global trade,and then well. I am sure in a decade we could make some of the things we import from China after setting up manufacturing and energy again,and importing cheap labor.
Our grid is not set up for a return of manufacturing not to mention...
and countries ranked by amount of electricity they produce(hint the USA produces less than 1/3 of what China does and India likely passed us last year if not they will in 2023 as we are shutting down more "dirty" coal plants).Attacks on U.S. electric power grid expected to grow

I think it is obvious,but it sure looks like 41.2%(the countries in the poll,it is actually worse if you add in Brazil ect) global population does not support the US,EU9,or Great Britain(10.1% of the global population).
More info at the article. Things most do not realize. For example in China only 6% of the population thinks the US is a better democracy than China itself. It goes on to explore more polls,for example why does the US support Ukraine and the majority of nations polled though it was to maintain western dominance.
The last image I am posting though shows to me the difference in how the media and even social media have covered the war.

United West, divided from the rest: Global public opinion one year into Russia’s war on Ukraine
New polling for ECFR reveals the West is consolidating – while facing an increasingly post-Western world, in which powers such as India and Turkiye are readier than ever to act independently.ecfr.eu
You should read it to the bottom. Loads more packed into it. Example 9% of American's(surveyed) think the US will still be globally dominant in 10 years. 13% think it will be China(13% of American's). Many countries covered in that one as well.
Talk about apples to bananas. How does Estonia's GDP compare to the U.S. GDP? What have they given Ukraine? A buck fiddy?Fretting about the amount spent on aid to Ukraine is like a guy bringing home $100,000 a year distraught over a $37 trip to Pizza Hut.

The only valid comparison is percentage of GDP. Not total amount. Crying about "pallets of cash" is laughable. That ain't how it works.Talk about apples to bananas. How does Estonia's GDP compare to the U.S. GDP? What have they given Ukraine? A buck fiddy?
At least we can make back some of it through forcing allies to pay for our LNG,diesel,and oil.The only valid comparison is percentage of GDP. Not total amount. Crying about "pallets of cash" is laughable. That ain't how it works.
I remember this Stalingrad battle long time ago.U.S. says intel indicates pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged Nord Stream pipelines -NY Times
New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials indicates that a pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines that carried natural gas from Russia to Europe, but they have found no evidence of Kyiv government involvement in the September 2022 attack, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.www.reuters.com
No, it is much more like a guy making $100k per year who is in hock for over 300x his annual salary spending $37 on Pizza Hut when he has unmet basic needs for his family that that money could better be spent onFretting about the amount spent on aid to Ukraine is like a guy bringing home $100,000 a year distraught over a $37 trip to Pizza Hut.
Yea,that kind of thing never happens.The only valid comparison is percentage of GDP. Not total amount. Crying about "pallets of cash" is laughable. That ain't how it works.
So let me get this straight...a 16 year old's father and brother were killed by Russian invaders, and his response is to kill himself rather than to fight the people who killed his family, because the government is corrupt?Ukraine is drafting 16 year olds.
I just watched a video.
He was at his fathers funeral(died 6 days after the kids 16th birthday, fighting on the front)in Kiev when they served him his draft notice...at the funeral.
He went home and recorded himself with his draft card(dated) and his dads memorial cards(dated).
Then hangs himself in his garage on camera, saying he was not fighting for a corrupt government like his father and brother had done, he would die his own way.
I am sure if anyone is interested they could find the video(Rumble) , but I regret even seeing it.
So let me get this straight...a 16 year old's father and brother were killed by Russian invaders, and his response is to kill himself rather than to fight the people who killed his family, because the government is corrupt?
I wonder what you have to be smoking to believe this. Rumble weed must be some good stuff.
Smells like ******** to me.
Fake: Draft Notices Handed Out to Minors in Ukraine
The document being circulated online purported to be a Ukrainian draft notice is a fake. This document does not bear any similarity to an official Ukrainian draft notice, it contains the wrong category names and does not contain pertinent information that is part of a genuine draft notice. The termwww.stopfake.org
I'll take your word for it, as I can't begin to compare to your skills regarding propaganda.Your links owners. smells like Ukrainian propaganda to me.
