| American corruption: the Russian view | |
| 2021-08-03 | |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Valentin Dneprov [Ruvesna] The US political system is teetering on the brink of a tailspin. Democrats hold on to a consensus with Republicans who oversee defense, security, foreign policy, and street influence. The priority of Biden's policy is two questions: strategic stability and elections-2022. Strategic stability in Biden's understanding - when he talks about the Russian threat at every corner, moves troops, carries out provocations, imposes sanctions, and Russia does not respond. Then the information background contributes to the consolidation of society, an increase in spending on defense, security and foreign policy, but does not lead to critical consequences. Biden understands that any meaningful response from the Kremlin to a provocation is the collapse of the existing system. The Kremlin also knows that the basis of a bipartisan consensus is not ideology, fear of China and Russia, but corruption. If the Kremlin "detonates a corruption bomb," the street will be radicalized and out of control. The Black Swan will fly not only to polling stations, the Senate and Congress, but also to the stock exchange. Corruption did not appear in the United States yesterday. Everyone knows about Dick Cheney's billions earned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Biden is not capable of stopping the mass impoverishment, and the "information bomb" is in the hands of Putin. So he gets nervous, announcing the Kremlin's interference in the elections in a year and a half. The champions in corruption: the Pentagon, the military-industrial complex, and the State Department. If we estimate it according to Russian legislation, then we are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. How many of them "stick to their hands" in black, "convert into golden toilets" and go offshore? It is unknown because more than 80% of corruption deals are legalized through lobbying, financing of parties and near-party structures. Many numbers are in the public domain. It takes ten days to figure it out, and given the capabilities of the Kremlin, Ukrainian and Polish talkativeness, it is possible to count to a cent and link to specific persons involved in kickbacks. I recommend Arsen Avakov as a thread to the "tangle of corruption" between Ukraine and the United States. Avakov is a war criminal, but he has formed as a "Kharkov kid" and knows that a rollback of more than 40% is lawlessness. When Petya went into lawlessness, Avakov traveled to Washington, revealed Petya's schemes and replaced Poroshenko with Zelensky. This was Avakov's fatal mistake. The year had fun - Trump had no time for Ukraine, but with the arrival of Biden, the Americans took into account valuable information from Avakov and switched all profitable schemes to their own. Kent is a friend, but it turned out that he came to designate his own, where Avakov is superfluous. Nothing but business. As a clue to the American "tangle of corruption", I recommend studying the publicly available prices for food included in the food ration of an American and Russian soldier, clothing items included in the equipment of a US and Russian special forces soldier, industrial goods, computers and household appliances. You will see that the prices for food, clothing, industrial goods, and household appliances in the United States in 2020 are higher than Russian prices by no more than 15%, and the prices for dry rations, special forces equipment, planes, helicopters, and tanks are comparable in quality and combat effectiveness, is twice as high. Listen for a couple of days to Ukrainian “soros” and you will understand that the price for them is “a penny on a market day,” and in the budget of the State Department - tens of millions. Does at least 15% reach Ukraine? | |

| #8 Add to that, if Trump is re-elected in 2024 (I think he will) he'll get cooperation from this new crop of GOP unlike the last time. Also Trump would be elected with a VP (deSantes probably) ready to take over after a single term creating a 3 term run like Reagan Bush that would really help this country get our sh1t together again. |

| #7 Leftest corruption had almost taken over the country and they got arrogant. The bulk of the country noticed and voted Trump to fix things because GOP wouldn't. Left pulled out out all stops legal/illegal/viral to get rid of Trump. They exposed themselves further and more Americans noticed. I think 2022 will be a red-wave of insane proportions. Far, far beyond the margin of theft. And the clean election efforts will also limit the margin of theft. |

| #5 Corruption did not appear in the United States yesterday. Yeah, and the Chinese threw gas on the fire. Similar to the drug lords and Mexican politicians except the for the drug lords, it's all been for domestic excitement not bringing down foreign governments. |
