That would be a much bigger punishment for Putin.
Trump would be with one of his top heroes.
Putin would be with a useful idiot who he has zero respect for.
It would probably be some kind of pan western Marshall plan type of thing. If a big if Ukraine can definitely win and realistically that could take years the rebuilding of Ukraine will likely make it the place for non Russian global movers and shakers to be.
Its in the US interest as well.
Compare future worlds where Ukraine is a slave puppet state of Russia vs. one where Ukraine is a sovereign nation integrated into Europe which is what the people of Ukraine clearly want. Ukraine global breadbasket free to ship all they want on the black sea vs. having every movement dictated by mother (f) Russia. So Crimea must be Ukrainian. If Russia wins only naive fools thinks delusionally imperial Russia stops there.
But there is something less dead here.
Wouldn't f rangs welcome corruption in licensing in the same way they welcome corruption in visas IF the licenses were as legit as the immigration stamps?
If not why not?
I'm not struggling at all.
My point is that if these agents offered legit licenses without needing testing at the licensing place they would be exactly the same flavor of corruption as visa agents that don't require meeting visa requirements.
The problem here is they are not offering real licenses.
If the visa corruption is acceptable to us what's the difference?
Yes I understood these license scammers are not offering legit licenses.
So extensions done without meeting financial requirements are scams too according to your logic.
This ain't Kansas.
To me the core issue is whether you get an actual license or not.
My big complaint about US Ukraine policy is out of fear of Putin's threats, we won't announce that we are comited to support Ukraine to WIN the war defined as kicking out Russia of all occupied lands including Crimea.
