I think I made my point?

And now that the war is failing, and the hunt is on for scapegoats, corruption allegations will fly.

You did not. You hinted at a point without stating it directly.

Are you saying that this corruption charge is disingenuous and intended to redirect attention from other issues? Because if so you need to make that explicit and then support it with evidence. Otherwise it sounds like you’re parroting known disinformation.

I have no idea how genuine this particular corruption charge is, but given how rife with corruption the country is, I’m inclined to believe it.

My point is that I think patsies are now being chosen to take the fall in lieu of the most powerful oligarchs and government functionaries, who are also corrupt.

Otherwise it sounds like you’re parroting known disinformation.

What disinformation does it sound like I’m parroting?
