Interesting video that I stumbled across on YouTube;
Gonzalo Lira - Zelensky, Hunter Biden — and Their Sugar Daddy, Kolomoisky (8:24)
Discusses (briefly) the rise of Volodymyr Zelensky to the Presidency of Ukraine and the sponsorship of Ihor Kolomoyskyi behind the scenes. Also talks about his role in appointing Hunter Biden to the board of Burisma Holdings.
Wikipedia- Ihor Kolomoyskyi

His pic kind of reminds me of the bad guy from Sum of All Fears.

The more I learn about the depth of corruption in Ukraine the more I believe Russia and Ukraine deserve each other. If Russia does move to put the old gang back together and succeeds they need to call themselves the Consolidated Federation of Oligarchs.

CRP has balls the size of coconut’s. I’m glad he’s still alive and kicken.

And it is interesting how many Obama and Biden administration officials have ties to the Ukraine and to the Trump impeachment proceedings. It almost seems like there could be a degree of (gasp) collusion.

Glenn Beck says this guy tortured & chainsawed people on the regular. He was on a terrorist watch ban list and the Obama/Biden admin removed him.
He is a large stakeholder in Burisma that financed the current President of Ukraine Zalensky-that plays the piano with his dick-

David Sakvarelidze was five months into a new job as Ukraine’s reformist deputy chief prosecutor when a witness came forward with intelligence that would change the course of everything.
The witness, a sand producer in the Kiev region, complained of men extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars. It took a while to persuade the man to give evidence. But when he did, and the investigation began, the trail led to two of the country’s highest-placed prosecutors.
A search of the men’s apartments revealed a scene that looked like a comic heist: bags full of cash, diamonds and other precious stones. But that was not the only incriminating evidence. Documents seized at the time indicated the men appeared to have a connection to the top prosecutor in the land, Viktor Shokin.
Police found copies of Shokin’s passports, property registration certificates and even his licence to carry firearms. One of the two men, it transpired, was Shokin’s former driver who had subsequently climbed the ranks behind his boss.
For Sakvarelidze, there were clear suspicions the two men may have been carrying out the business of the chief. But his attempts to investigate were frustrated. Soon, he faced a corruption investigation himself. At loggerheads with Shokin, he was pushed out of his job within the year.
Shokin’s year atop the prosecutor’s office was for a long time remembered simply as the time of the “diamond prosecutors”.
Lack of aggression was a description many would use for Shokin’s approach to the job in his third spell. Two of the people interviewed for this article described the former chief prosecutor as “lazy”, and uninterested in real investigations. Others noted a penchant for bonding with oligarchs over vodka in the bathhouse.
SNIP
The approach of Shokin’s office to the Burisma investigations fell into a well-practiced pattern of corruption, the anonymous prosecutor says. By the time of Biden’s intervention, there were no active investigations to speak of.
“If the idea was to get a result on the Burisma case, Shokin would have put his top people on it,” he says. “That didn’t happen. The aims were different.”
“Neither Shokin nor Poroshenko wanted to investigate [Burisma owner Mykola?] Zlochevsky,” says Sakvarelidze. “They simply began a criminal case, arrested a few assets, and began negotiating with the corruptioneer for a bribe.”

Question: why the frick would we care about shakedowns in a known kleptocray? Irrespective of the competing narratives on this Board, why were we so interested in Ukraine over the past decade? Why were the sons of prominent Americans getting sweetheart money deals for being on the boards of companies like Burisma? Why did we have an undersecretary of State ( Nuland) so involved in the internal politics of Ukraine in 2014 that she and other functionaries were dictating who would be in government?
We seem to have been very involved in " running" , albeit quietly, Ukraine over the past decade. It's a serious inquiry, not one of the rhetorical b.s. questions that so many on this board like to throw up to get people going. Why were so involved in so much shite in an ostensibly barely functional country?

Its weird, the more you find out about the corrupt globalists in Ukraine, from Zelensky down, none are ethnic Ukrainian........

I can’t quite figure out what he thinks that’s illustrating. Looks to me, it just shows how deep all the sliminess here actually goes. If there’s something else, I’m not sure.
