DW Discovers Ukraine's Corruption; US Taxpayers Already Knew
DW's recent piece on Ukrainian corruption asks, 'What do we know so far?' A better question: How much did 'we' ignore while pouring billions into a system infamous for it? This isn't breaking news; this is a delayed admission. Remember the Panama Papers, dating back to 2016, which implicated then-President Poroshenko? The Biden administration even pressured Ukraine in 2016 to fire Prosecutor
General Viktor Shokin for investigating Burisma, where Hunter Biden inexplicably served on the board. So, when DW frames corruption as a fresh 'scandal,' one might wonder if it's less about newfound shock and more about managing expectations after another $60 billion package clears Congress. It appears the concern for financial oversight directly correlates with the current geopolitical narrative,
not actual good governance.
