Well said, and yes, corruption should have an impact on ANY decisions on the defense side of the house. Witness the 'missing' suitcase nukes out of Ukraine back at the 'fall of the iron curtain'... They are still 'unaccounted' for, but most think they were sold into the middle east/third world by those same kleptocrats. Today, it's the fake parts on aircraft in Russia, China, and other places due to corruption in manufacturing and certification. And yes, they are called Chinesium parts... sigh
So I’m not aware of any other missing nukes than what’s listed here. But if there are, the corruptocrats almost certainly sold them to the highest bidder.
I think that’s why Zelensky has taken such a severe stand on corruption. He understands what these people did to his country. I didn’t take him seriously at first, but now… I’m happy to have changed my mind.
Great explanation. Thanks!
But don’t expect the Putinistas to understand it. Or care.
Agreed.
