1. Everytime a GOPr proclaims there is a Biden scandal, they are advancing - knowingly or unknowingly - these points:

A. The Ukranian Prosecutor General forced out for blocking anti-corruption measures was, in fact, the hero and the anti-corruption politicians are corrupt....

2...

B. The International Monetary Fund and the European Union, which were both pushing for the corrupt Prosecutor General to be forced out by withholding money, are in fact corrupt.
C. The protections by the corrupt prosecutor of anti-corruption politicians were valid...

3...

D. The corrupt politicians whose prosecutions were blocked by the corrupt Prosecutor General were, in fact, innocent.
E. The blocking by the Prosecutor General of a complex visa program that was intended to deal with corruption was legitimate.....

4...

F. The Ukraine Economics Minister and Deputy Prosecutor General who resigned to call attention to the corruption of the Prosecutor General were, in fact, lying and were themselves corrupt while the Prosecutor General was innocent....

5...

G. Ukraine civilian protesters who marched to demand that the Prosecutor General be removed for his corruption were, in fact, the agents of corruption

H. The West attempted to drive out the Prosecutor General not because he was corrupt, but because the west is corrupt..

6..

I. The lawyers who condemned the corrupt prosecutor for engaging in obstruction of justice in Ukraine were, in fact, corrupt, and the corrupt prosecutor was the good guy.

J. The entire anti-corruption effort in Ukraine was a fraud...

7...the big problem is that much of the American population is ignorant about Ukraine and its political circumstances. They do not see or care that there GOP is willing to undermine a country fighting corruption for the sole purpose of spinning a Biden conspiracy theory...

8...and along the way, we are signaling that the actions of the former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in his cases brought against political enemies and avoided for political allies was not outrageous, but was exactly what we do in the west. Ukranians are out fighting Russia...

9...being slaughtered by the many, in hope of preserving a government that in turn is cleaning itself out of corruption. But no, a Biden conspiracy theory matters more, and we are calling the government they are fighting for the bad guys, and the corrupt people the good guys....

10...and Fox, GOP leaders, and their slavish ditto-heads who couldn't find Ukraine on a map will continue working to undermine Ukraine, to celebrate its corruption, all so GOP politicians can keep their jobs. And then, when Russia claims control of Ukraine...

11...and has full access and control to the gas pipeline running through Ukraine, and Ukranians fighting for their country start to blow it up, we can stand by and watch the world burn all so these people can say "Biden advanced the same thing the EU and IMF et. al. did, but...

12...it was all a lie and is a scandal."

How the hell do we expect Ukraine to clear up its corruption when all we do is show them we are more corrupt than they are?

*prosecutions* not *protections*
