Ukraine is an odd place. It has always been a corrupt place, even back in the Soviet era. Are people just realizing this now?

Agreed. It's why there were revolts in 2014, against the pro-Russian corruption. Developments since then to reduce pro-Russian corruption have been difficult, and are now really costly.

Candace Owens is apparently an idiot. The NYT writers don't have to memorize all of the previous articles. They just wanted her point of view.

Yeah, they can research them though to see where their own publication stands on issues they're reporting on.

They can, and they may have done, and they now want to discuss the similar issues now that things have changed somewhat. Candace has developed a nothing burger here.

Seems like she lobbed the ball right back into their court pretty well.

she indicated that she's got nothing else to say. It was helpful to them. They know not to bother her again.

She's also nobody - and a traitor to fellow blacks, and dropped out of URI (really weak), and she's using this email from the NYT in a manner that supports the slaugter of innocent civilians in Ukraine.
