i re-read the letter. apparently, the writer knew the invasion was coming as it was posted 1 month before Russia invaded Ukraine.

hm, not sure about that, they have their purpose, but it is the corruption that cripples nations of the things it needs.

you see it in 3rd world countries where their people aren't taken care of. the earmarked for the people end up in someone's corrupt pocket.
