I think the corruption problem in Ukraine needs to be brought front and center.
Everyone who is corrupt in Ukraine is responsible for keeping them out of NATO and subsequently allowing Russia to invade.
Once it becomes apparent to these people that their corruption is killing them, maybe they'll start holding each other accountable and punishing corruption accordingly.
They don't understand how much even profit can be manipulated. All you need is one guy on payroll making more money than he should, and that's going to reduce your 'profit.' That doesn't mean he isn't profiting, though.
Where do you think oil even comes from? It's mostly dead plants.
The idea that trees or other plants 'release' all their CO2 back into the atmosphere when they die is a load of bullshit and needs to stop being perpetuated.
I don't think that should be the case, but I understand their reasons for doing it.
