Russian Corruption vs American Corruption

[Tomy223]

They say Russians are corrupt. It is true, but their corruption is very direct, not sophisticated.

I was reading that Obama administration paid 2bn to build health care website.

I am a software engineer. 2bn is too much,

1-5 mm is fair. I think there is a lot corruption in US that goes untouched by media.

So it all relative at end of day.

Thanks for the video! I forgot about Yanis. I laughed a lot.

In the West there is corruption it’s just hidden better - I.e lobby government to pass a bill on your favor - donations along the way to their reelections and when they resign speaking fees

In the global south it’s better because once you give them their dues they f**k off and don’t hang around like a bad smell.

In Russia - no clue.

In the west corruption is legalized. Look at foundations (Obama, Clinton, Gates, Tony Blair, etc), and like how much politicians are paid (typically by banks, investment funds, or foundations) for giving talks after their terms is over.
Fun fact: not sure how many of you already noticed, but party-Sanna (the former finnish prime minister), which achieved the notable result of getting neutral Finland into NATO, got a nice job after her term expired. At the Tony Blair foundation.

The fact that NOBODY is actively prosecuting this monster, aka Hillary Clinton, is ALL one needs to know to understand that I do NOT take moral condemnation on the subject of mala prohibita from ANY politician or public servant! The H3ll with ALL of them!

By ALL means necessary!

There's corruption and then there's propaganda, last time I checked the entire world is a shithole but the news article that pops up on your phone in the morning says you live in paradise. When I'm in Finland news says West is good and Russia is bad, when I'm in Russia it says the opposite. When I'm in Mongolia it's neutral. It's all about the money.

I can't agree more to this.
