The corruption is endless. But worse, this is the authoritarian playbook: Erdogan handed media to loyalists & family, Putin handed it to his Oligarchs, Orbán took it for his party & donors, Marcos seized it for his family. Every regime centralizes media and hands it to cronies & family.

Trumpian Corruption Is Worse Than Ukrainian Corruption
The people of Ukraine want an honest government, even as American and Russian kleptocrats circle their country.

We are extremely concerned Ukraine will be able to use on us the same type of weapons we've been using on them for 3 years and 8 months.
It isn't an escalation when we do it.
