A Country of Clay Feet
Never had a country been as successful as the United States Never has a country attributed to itself such nobility of purpose. Deservedly so, I always thought That was until a businessman named Donald Trump became President. Then, politicians whom I thought were, for the most part well intentioned persons revealed themselves as as scurrilous weasels. in both parties. I decided to to put an area that I was already researching to the test. I wanted to compare that which was told to you and I about non partisan issues and how much we of the public were lied to.Here's,vastly abbreviated, what I discovered.First a bit of perspective.A lot of our efforts by our officers, could earn more money in the private sector. They went into public service especially in Intelligence They legitimately cared more about human lives.When they signed on, it was likely true when they were young and idealistic. The police state plays on that.I t uses the do-gooders as cut-outs, in essence.They believe they are serving the public good, but in reality they line the pockets of of a different master altogether at a cost that is measurable in human lives.The figures are nine hundred and ninety American nonmilitary contractors lost in the foggy name of of national security since 2007 plus another one hundred and seventy four foreign nationals killed doing our bidding. They berate Trump for diverting funds, but yet under Obama those figures don't include the cancer patients who lost their chance to live when ten million dollars was diverted from Columbia Presbyterian's research clinic to bribe a Ministry of Health official in Azerbaijan who had influence on assigning off-shore oil well rights in the Caspian Sea.
There are at least two deaths per day as a consequence of U.S. covert actions in Africa . Russia has never been able to accomplish as much. The lowness of character that has been exemplified in recent months by Democrats and to a lesser extent by anti-Trump Republicans.Is an example of the true character of American politicians.The two examples I cited, I discovered on my way to researching other things. I can only imagine what I would find if I was looking more specifically for such examples.

The boldness of politicians when it comes to their own enrichment is beyond imagination.
The are perfectly aware that they will get away with criminal activity otherwise they'd not be doing it. Let's face it: how many are being prosecuted even for crime we KNOW they committed?
I have issue only with your sentence "Russia has never been able to accomplish as much."
I guarantee you that Russia has accomplished as much and even more. Only takes a revisiting of history.
