    Is corruption really limited to money? They can just as easily steal and sell physical items, and even get those employed people doing labor that doesn’t actually support the war effort. You can fit a whole lotta corruption in that bad boy.

      I guess? If you’re selling literally weapons, body armor, and shielding from a fucking warzone to somewhere else, I would think corruption would simply not be a forceful enough word to describe that action

        I mean, unfortunately, that’s one of the most common kinds of corruption. War is messy, so it’s easy for stuff to get “lost”. The Western media loves reporting on when it happens in Russia, like with those ERA plates that didn’t have any explosive in them.
