Well... I would say this means Russia is just condoning corruption now. But in Oppositeland, every action should be passed through a logical NOT filter before interpretation...
LOL and when were they in?? >

To show an example on why corruption is bad >

I think their depleted, impotent military that's being embarrassed by Ukraine is a better example of what happens when corrupt officials siphon off public money for private use. >

Golden toilets are not going to pay for themselves, you know. >

Was Ruzzia fighting for or against corruption? >

Neither. Russia is fighting nazis.
(note: fighting is an adjective in that sentence, not a verb) >

Do you mean adjective? >

Fuck. Ya, that one. Grade school was a long time ago. >

You used poor sentence structure that doesn't make sense by itself. If you were trying to say "Russians are Nazis who fight" or "Russia is a Nazi country that fights", say that. Russia [singular noun] is [singular verb] fighting [adjective?] Nazis [plural noun] doesn't make sense because it equates a singular noun to a plural noun. You are the one who needs an English lesson, kid. >

Blessed are the grammar nazis, for they shall inherit nothing of significant value. >

I'm just calling you out for trying to call someone else out when you were actually wrong. Also, you replied to the comment twice with 2 fairly different replies which leads me to believe that you were intending to swap to your alternate account for one of them to pretend that others thought you were correct. Which is a douche move. >

You called me out on a comment admitting that grade school was a long time ago. In your opinion was that not a douche move?
Also, calling out a douche for having two accounts when that douche only has one account is supercalifragilisticexpealidouchoius. Downvote this one and crawl back under your rock. >

Whoops, I misread your initial comment as you saying it has been a while since they went to grade school. That's on me. Also, double commenting on something usually means that one it trying to make a false narrative of public support. If that was not your purpose, that is also my misinterpretation. I was also going to apologize for calling you a douche but telling me to "crawl back under your rock" just confirmed that I was right. Have a good day. >

I appreciate your honesty. 
I also appreciate the work that you do in removing that 'not so fresh feeling.' I apologize for telling you to crawl back under your rock, as it's abundantly clear you spend most of your time dribbling down a leg and into a shoe. 
You have a great day as well! >

Country That Has Never Done Something Threatens To Stop Doing It. >

I don’t know why Russia bothers with any convention, they literally respect no rules. I think it’s just a show for the idiotic domestic audience that eat whatever shit Putin feeds them. >

I'm sure it also pleased Putin to think he was actually a part of international affairs; that Russia was palling around with the big boys, riding their coattails to avoid being called a third-world country.
Every group they're kicked out of or quit is another blow to his ego.
"I didn't want to be in your stupid group anyway! *sobs*" >

I mean four years ago he was openly pulling the US's strings, regardless of how, Trump was bending the knee to him.  Now Russia has been crippled, humiliated, and its only real leverage is its supposedly functional nuclear arsenal. >

Countries like Russia is why they have a European Convention on Fighting Corruption. >

Eeehhhh....Even with Russia, I think I can think of a few countries that are worse in that particular regard. >

That kinda sounds like you don’t understand just how ingrained corruption is within Russia.
A columbian cartel almost managed to buy a Foxtrot-class submarine from Russia, after buying military helicopters that were delivered on a Russian military cargo plane. The only reason the sale didn’t complete is because the Russian middleman pocketed the money and disappeared. >

Is there a link for that story? I’d love to read up on this >

Thanks! >

Withdraw from the entire world you cunts. >

Count down to some moron that says something to the effect of "No, we need to keep Russia involved in international relations and can't let them be humiliated or they will become isolated and dangerous." >

No, we need to keep Russia involved in international relations and can't let them be humiliated or they will become isolated and dangerous. >

The fact that you have the same profile picture as the person you responded to made me think they just responded to themselves 🤣🤣🤣 >


Russia is gearing up to end its participation in the European Convention on fighting corruption in response to the decision to restrict Moscow’s participation in the Council of Europe (CoE).
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a bill to the State Duma — the lower house of the Russian Parliament — to denounce the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption signed in the city of Strasbourg on January 27, 1999.

...

Russia ceased to be a Party to the European Convention on Human Rights on 16 September 2022.

...

The Council of Europe brings together 47 European countries and was created to promote democracy, protect human rights and strengthen the rule of law in Europe. Russia was a member of the Council of Europe from 1996 to 2022. >

Russia is getting ready to steal some major shit. >

Because land and children don't count as major yet? >

They decided to stop fighting corruption because corruption won. >

Ha, what? Russia was part of a fighting corruption convention. Fuck me. Is this a joke. >

Maybe this Benjamin will convince you to not withdraw >

God damn it, you fucking genius. >

Why would they want to fight their primary activity? >

Fair enough. Their membership has clearly not helped them fight corruption. >

Does this feel a little bit like my teenager threatening to not clean up his room, normally at the end of a fight he is loosing just before he slams the door with a petulant "Fine, but if you think I am cleaning MY room, think again". My teenager has never cleaned their own room willingly without the shotgun of no internet being held to their head. Kind of like Russia has never actually cleaned up corruption without some leverage being applied. >

My daughter, starting around age 9 or so, latched onto the KonMarie ethos like she was born for it.  She's since maintained her room in a minimalist and tidier state than I ever kept any living space of my own my entire life.  She also started doing her own laundry starting at age 11, with no prompting from anyone. >


Russia Ready to Withdraw from European Convention on Fighting Corruption

Corruption won the battle in Russia. >

(...), surprising nobody >

So yeah anyways...
