At this point, with the Ukraine counteroffensive against Russia thwarted, the official said, “Zelensky has no plan, except to hang on. It’s as if he’s an orphan—a poor waif in his underwear—and we have no real idea of what Zelensky and his crowd are thinking. Ukraine is the most corrupt and dumbest government in the world, outside of Nigeria, and Biden’s support of Zelensky can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden, and not just because he was taking care of Biden’s son.”

      final stance of humankind

      Eh, I wouldn’t go about with this type of “end of history”. Even if USA crashes and its hegemony dissipates within our lifetimes, there’s still much work to do. Russia itself must be freed from capitalist yoke. As do all others.

            Overthrowing Ukraine’s elected government, using violent neonazi gangs to install a corrupt russophobic puppet regime into power in Kiev, arming it to the teeth to wage war on its own people for eight years with the goal of ethnic cleansing, all while threatening to invade Russia itself. And that’s before we even get into issues like NATO expansion against explicit assurances to Russia that they wouldn’t do it, placing nuclear capable missiles virtually on Russia’s doorstep, developing biological weapons right on Russia’s periphery specifically engineered to target Russians, allowing their Ukrainian Nazi client regime to talk openly in western forums about acquiring nuclear weapons with which to threaten Russia, all without any pushback whatsoever from any western country, oh and of course the complete farce of the Minsk agreements with which the West deliberately deceived Russia and strung them along knowing full well Ukraine had no intention of ever abiding by them.

      There was the recent election that was absolutely 100% definitely not rigged in any way, and all three contenders for the leadership position being listed in the Panama papers or otherwise found guilty of financial crimes.

      Gerrymandering is rampant, with states being set up based on political affiliation rather then population.

      The oil and mineral wealth of the nation, that which isn’t stolen by western corporations, is frivolously squandered by the elite.

      Ultimately Nigeria, while a beautiful country full of wonderful people, seems to me a perfect representation of all the issues with western style democracies in general.

      Chinua Achebe wrote a fascinating book about the Nigerian Civil War (the Biafran war) that very suscintly places the blame of the civil war (and the resulting later corruption problems) on deliberate actions taken by the British authorities when they “withdrew” from their former colony.

        Seems to be the case with many places. Middle East, Africa, you name it
