In that text, it's Russian, not Ukrainian (all of the texts use Russian orthography, not Ukrainian). снять одну дуру -> "remove one fool woman". Дура is an epithet, but it's mild. If they had used the b-word, that would have had the meaning (in English) that you suggest (I find that even now I can't actually type that word, sorry).

No, it really isn't. That's a word that I can't bring myself to type (Russian, at least when I was there and learning this stuff, had much stronger taboos on certain words, which I internalized). That would be the b-word (or слово 'б—'). The sense of the sentence is that the writer is deriding the competence of Parnas (to whom he's writing), for being unable to get one fool woman removed somehow.

It's tough, because the Western oil companies are in bed with the Russian mob who run the Russian oil and gas industries, and when they're not in bed with the Russian mob, they're in bed with the Republican party (freaky bastards!).

I'm listening to Parnas right now. I was expecting him to sound like a major league fuck-up. Instead he sounds 100% more intelligent than anyone on the White House staff. What did he see in those people?

It's what comes of having almost an entire continent to ourselves and a government founded on the principles of individual liberty.

This is definitely a high crime.
