The Democrats would have you believe Burisma looked all over the globe for board members. For what they were paying they could have hired former industry leaders, geological scientists at the top of their field, or experts in the complicated field of international oil & gas law.
They passed on all those people and chose… this guy. Who afaik had basically nothing to offer as a member of the board who ohbytheway just happened to be THE SON OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
But no, totally not corruption. Hunter got that job on his non-existent merits, sure.
Hunter is just Young Trump lol. Literally any other leader or country, this would be a career ending scandal. Although the rich will always fuck, it’s generally seen as a security vulnerability because these freaks love pillow talk about sensitive information
Disrespectful to Trump, honestly.
According to Michael Hudson, this is just how the circular flow of US dollar spending in Ukraine is laundered back to US politicians, so they’re setting up their “networks” of overseas bank accounts, the government sends billions of dollars to “help” Ukraine and a good portion of that launders back to US politicians account in a completely legal manner.
The same with Israel and AIPAC, that’s why billions of dollars are willingly spent in Israel because much of that money goes back to the Republicans and Democrats. I guess the Republicans missed out a bit on the Ukraine money because the Democrats are much better connected in the region, hence their less appetite for keep funding Ukraine.
