I'd like to know what is so special about the Ukraine that soooooo many people are sooooo involved and wanting to wet their beaks. I've been there once. It's a crappy country, flat farmland . Kiev is OK...it's old. The corruption is off the charts from what I can remember. I mean they have deposits of natural gas, but it's not all that.....they rank about 28-30 in reserves.......I guess the skim is so much easier there? Or maybe they are priming the place for NATO membership eventually.....and you wonder why Russia gets antagonistic towards the West?

It really is weird. It's the 2nd shittiest country in all of Europe (behind Moldova) and that's saying something.

For frick's sake, their per capita GDP is less than $3K/year!
