    They can’t be that incompetent

    Have you seen these billionaires? They absolutely can. The myth of their competence is pure propaganda.

    Also, they like corruption because it offers many opportunities for those with enough money to pay. And they like oppression of workers because it provides a ready pool of cheap labour to exploit.

    They’ll be looking at Russia and liking what they see, because they don’t see themselves being the ones working for pennies and being sent to die in Ukraine. And they all think they’re the smartest guy in the world (“why else would I have so much money?”) so they don’t see themselves being fucked over by Putin either. For them Russia is the promise of doing whatever you want, taking advantage of whomever you want, and getting whatever you want.

      Only videos, but they don’t seem to be stupid.

      Even if they do, why hand over the country? They control the US.

      What can’t be done in the US?
