That guy is about as real as the elections in a Soviet country.

There's no proof he's ever even been to Ukraine 😂

You Americans are something else. There's a world outside your little shithole bubble you know.

I'm not even American. Our economy is global and America is the imperial core of that economy.

One of my local PMs was caught taking bribes from the NRA a few years back ffs

Aw jeez his made up record would have fit right into this article?

Who cares he's still not real.

How do you know? So it is just your opinion? There is a video with testimony - what exactly do you got that makes you so sure?

There's literally no proof he's ever been to Ukraine. You want me to prove a negative. Good luck with that.

Edit: lol I'm gonna do the impossible. He couldn't have been in Ukraine while being simultaneously in prison.
