The boarder is over 600 miles with Russia, do you think thats easy to defend? Any evidence for Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Europe or is that just more Russian propaganda?
Read anything from the NY Times, AP, Reuters, or WAPO up until Russia invaded.
Are you really this ignorant?
...corrupt country in Europe has been pocketing the money they were supposed to use on defensive fortifications.
up until Russia invaded
It's not my job to educate you
But according to Koen Slootmaeckers, senior lecturer in international politics at City, University of London, “we need to be very careful on how we discuss the issue of corruption in Ukraine as if we are not, we only add to the Russia propaganda narrative which uses corruption as a justification for its own aggression
Of course Russia is corrupt. But Russia is not in Europe.
Russia’s European territory stretches to the borders of Azerbaijan and Georgia. The country also borders eastern-based European areas of Belarus and Ukraine.
Russia has more landmass in Asia, though more human population in Europe.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
You're too ignorant to have a rational discussion about this with.

No
You're not entitled to my time. I was very clear, if you're having trouble with reading comprehension just go slow and sound it out.
If Putin walks straight into Ukraine and faces no opposition, do you really think he's going to stop there?
Why not? Western nations under the direction of the US do it all the time....and then leave them millions of dollars in military equipment for their troubles.

War is so senseless. Those are somebody's sons, whether Ukranian or Russian, it's someone's loved one
It's high time that those who start wars are sent out first themselves. Instead they are sitting high and mighty on billions , Zelensky
