Ukraine Starting Over

Existential Ukraine, or a letter to Santa Claus ? It is closing in on 10 years since I made my first phone call in Ukraine. What was it about ? Nothing important . Where did I make the call ? from the Prosecutor's office. Who was the call made to? Nobody important or significant. Why did you make the call from there, at that time? It is not important, and rather a long story I don't care to get into telling. How did you wind up there ? Again, part of a longer story, not worth telling. What was your experience there ? I saw a lot of huge, huge stacks of paper in the offices, trying to get digitized, eventually. Who did you know that got you there ? Again, it's not important. I am only an ex-professional dishwasher, not a spy, just a regular guy. I don't work for any government, or consortium. It is just me. I am simply random ,and definitely unsponsored in my activities.

well things never stop being spicy and interesting in Ukraine, while the USA has got vaguely more interesting, nothing usually tops Ukraine's Dance with fate these days or "I looked at the road, and I see it needs fixing" well it is certain that the 100 Billion $'s that Paul Manafort and his buddies in the Party of regions stole , didn't get stolen from nowhere, they stole the roads of this large nation,,  back then during the UEFA soccer tournament preparations in Ukraine,  (was not a really, really big bag of cash,  fallen out of the truck on that bouncy road,  between Kiev and Odessa ?) well it was only the payroll for those road workers, who cares about them ? I am joking , of course, yet today nobody can take a joke anymore... and they stole the school textbooks, they stole the teacher's and the salary raises of the police and just about everyone else. If you hear it from them , it's something like that  the Party of Regions was perha
