  • But look at the numbers in your second link. Biden gave Ukraine considerably more per year. With 60 Billion aid in 2024. In December 2024 a loan of 20 Billion was given. Since then no major aid bills have been passed.

    Your link says the opposite of what you’re arguing.

    And those 200 Million in 2018 are peanuts.




  • I’ll be honest, what you are describing sounds like a return to vigilante justice, which does not sound enticing to me. It sounds like the prelude to Gang/Militia warfare. Organised Crime would thrive in such an environment.

    But at the end of the day there is little ability for either of us to demonstrate, to me that the police can be fixed with any proposed method

    I’m not intelligent enough to propose solutions for fixing a police force which is highly corrupt. But I feel confident enough to say there are absolutely examples of countries with a functioning/not corrupt police force.

    Germany is a very good example of what a good police force can look like. Sure there is always some that have a power trip and abuse their power, but that’s something you’ll have in any system, a system of vigilante neighborhood/militias included (if not more so). Police in Germany are generally well trained and a boon to society.

    None of this is going to be particularly effective but it’s not like currently a robbery, or most other crimes are likely to be effectively prosecuted either so I don’t see the big issue.

    Not sure what country you are referring to, but I’ll stick with Germany as an example of a functioning police force. In Germany 58% of crimes are solved

    And the missing 42% aren’t because of police corruption, but due to missing evidence etc.

    So I don’t believe Police as a concept is outdated, since we need a way to enforce the laws that we as citizens agree on, but rather that the countries that have corruption problems need radical reform.
