I think U.S. people brought situation on themselves. Because why? Because proud Americans don’t see, but you are now an oligarchy. Where I come from, we know what that looks like. Oligarchs respect one thing: Power, especially in the form of money and the things it buys, like рoссийская мафия. What they do not respect is rule of law, citizenship, such other playthings of the bourgeoisie. I am telling you now and you are believing me later.

You peoples became an oligarchy when you allowed money to outweigh the votes of the people. You still can vote, but your pitiful ballots are as mice compared to elephantine moneybags. Once that happened, anyone’s money could play. So Russian money did.

You Americans have two parties, but one oligarchy.
