Brussels: Ukraine Corruption? Never Heard of It.
Per Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto (via RT), Brussels is deliberately ignoring corruption in Ukraine. This 'blind eye' approach isn't shocking. The Western press, and by extension many European capitals, have a long history of selective amnesia when it suits strategic alliances. Remember when the US military-industrial complex 'lost' trillions, as reported by outlets like The Nation
and Forbes over a decade ago? Or how about the 'reconstruction' funds in Afghanistan that evaporated faster than promises of democracy? The Brussels silence on Ukraine’s corruption (which the US State Department’s own reports admit is systemic) isn't about ethics; it's about control. Exposing deep-seated graft undercuts the narrative of a pristine democracy fighting for freedom, making it harder
to justify the billions in aid and arms. One might wonder if they fear looking too closely, lest the rot they criticize 'elsewhere' be found embedded closer to home – perhaps in the same institutions advocating for 'transparency' abroad? (Spoiler: It usually is.)
