Ukraine weapons trafficking; Polish Mafia to blame

CBS News had a documentary ready to go last week, about how only 30-40% of that military hardware we provide ever makes it to the front lines. They cancelled the doc due to strenuous objections from the Ukraine lobby. Until the last couple of days, such claims were routinely dismissed as "Russian disinformation." I guess that gets harder to do when the disinfo is on a mainstream network like CBS. Perhaps in an effort to get ahead of the bad-news curve, a Ukrainian news site published an expose on corruption in the Urainian Armed Forces. The Kyiv Independent is an on-line news portal financed by the government of Canada and other NATO states. I urge you to look up their story. I'd link it for you but Google's Blogger doesn't afford me that privilege anymore. The main sources for the story are a few Western mercenaries from Canada, US, UK, and Brazil. These were serious ex-military types hoping for a chance to kill Russians. Instead, they were cast into a cesspool of incompetence and corruption. But I don't want to spoil it for you. It's a remarkable admission of corruption at very high levels. The story implies that weapons shipped to Ukraine are in fact diverted to the black market. But it's not the fault of Ukraine... The Polish Mafia is to blame!
