I am not sure the argument for corruption adds up, given Ukraine's global corruption perception index scores are comparable to developing nations in Africa and Asia.

I see this statement a lot, but I am yet to see it substantiated. My home country hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees[1] however, speaking anecdotally, integrating people is di…

As you have mentioned these are extreme examples. I think Singapore is the most interesting since it is the example politicians in my home country use to gaslight the electorate. T…
