Day 426
Ukraine’s greasy clowns are in trouble again, this time for jailing a career counterintelligence officer — Roman Chervinsky — after an unsuccessful attempt this summer to lure Russian military pilots to surrender to Ukraine – with their planes – in return for millions of USD in payments.
Last time I checked, Ukraine’s security agencies are still riddled with spies and morons. While some actors in Z’s troupe have risen to the challenges of all-out war, many continue to be burdens and are creating huge problems out of thin air.
The case illustrates the total lack of capacity of the country’s top leaders, law-enforcement agencies and court system to get their collective shit together.
Roman gave this two-hour interview before his arraignment in court yesterday, after which he was remanded to pretrial custody for two months.
Foreign flaks, actors, local English-language editors and history professors abroad are in a slobbering love affair with Z. They might recall that the president in January 19 asked us to think about barbecues when the weather turned warmer in May. That was two weeks after CIA Director William Burns traveled to Kyiv and showed him Russia’s plans to decapitate the capital12.
