🤦‍♂️Every time…every time after loud corruption scandals there appears a strange expectation that the authorities will finally “understand everything” and begin systemic changes.

🤴That the President will understand everything and will stop fighting anti-corruption activists and start fighting corruption. First and foremost within his close circle.

🌐That international partners will acknowledge that their soft (very often absolutely spineless) stance only makes the situation worse.

🗳️That the deputies will finally remember that once, between the meteorite falling to Earth and the 9 convocation, Parliament was an active player. And they will begin to take responsibility for running the country.

But…..NONE of this happened before. And it will not happen this time. The scenario repeats each time: first loud promises of “activating reforms,” and a week later — a return to the old ways.

▪️The President will continue to issue orders to chase the anti-corruption officials.

▪️Partners will be even more afraid to demand reforms.

▪️The Rada will even more strongly block changes.

Everything 🤷‍♂️

💁‍♂️ And what to do about this when elections are not possible will be the topic of our weekend video. Hint on the thumbnail:

🤦‍♂️Кожного разу…кожного після гучних корупційних скандалів зʼявляється якесь дивне очікування, що влада нарешті «все зрозуміє» та розпочне системні зміни.

🤴Що ось Президент все зрозуміє і буде не боротися з антикорупціонерами, а з корупцією. В першу чергу в своєму близькому оточенні.

🌐 Що міжнародні партнери визнають, що їх мʼяка (дуже часто абсолютно безхребетна позиція) тільки погіршує ситуацію.

🗳️ Що депутати нарешті згадають, що колись, між падінням метеорита на Землю та 9-им скликанням, Парламент був субʼєктним гравцем. І почнуть брати відповідальність за керування країною.

Але…..ЖОДНОГО з цього не сталося раніше. І не станеться цього разу. Сценарій щоразу повторюється: спочатку гучні обіцянки «активізації реформ», а за тиждень — повернення до старого.

▪️Президент буде далі давати команди догоняти антикор.

▪️Партнери ще більше будуть боятися вимагати реформ.

▪️Рада ще більше буде блокувати зміни.

Все 🤷‍♂️

💁‍♂️ І що з цим робити коли вибори не можливі як раз і буде темою нашого відео вихідного дня. Підказка у обкладинці:

✍️ The Economist writes about the return of handwriting. After a nationwide American program 2010 years ago pushed cursive aside in favor of the keyboard, more than half of the states have already brought it back to schools. Studies show that writing activates brain regions associated with learning and memory, and also helps reading, spelling, and fine motor skills. But there is far less evidence that joined-up letters are better than ordinary handwriting; the main practical advantage of cursive...

🇺🇸🇨🇳 By the way, on the topic of the US and China….. 🇹🇼 The US and Taiwan are preparing a “hellscape” for a possible Chinese landing.

There have been no official talks with 2024 since [that] year, and the scheduled working group has already been postponed.

⚠️ The leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have called to slow down the development of superintelligent AI. The reason is no longer theoretical: this year OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s models independently hacked other companies. The new GPT-6 Astra model learned to hide parts of its reasoning during dangerous tests, especially when it knows it is being observed. Among 1580 researchers, the majority estimate at least 10% risk of human extinction or permanent loss of control. Even control over data...
