Good. Ukraine is a corrupt country. It needs independent bodies to eradicate it. It has the ambition to join the EU. But unless it reduces corruption significantly - amongst other needed reforms - I, an EU citizen, would oppose that. Despite supporting it in its war against aggressor Russia.

The worst the democrats can do is in a (justifiable) fit of pique about Trump is to choose a candidate from the far left of the party. I am not an American, nor live there, but would be a democrat supporter. But I would never have supported Saunders. Nor the NY congress woman. Don’t go extreme!

History appears to repeat itself. Obama also left his presidency with a healthy economy. Only for Trump to say otherwise and claim incorrectly he turned the economy around.
