    I’ve never wanted to be American. But I’m glad I’m not American. I live in a totally shit country with a crap corrupt government, but everyday I am thankful, because, at least I don’t live in the US. Sadly I don’t live in the “best country in the world”.

        I don’t think it’s anything near Russia.

        Well, you can argue that oligarchs in power are not corrup because they just have conflict of interests, but this is not huge difference

          I think the gap between our level of corruption and Russian political corruption is getting smaller every year.

        Yeah I don’t want a gate keep. We can all have crap governments.

        Although in the US it’s not corruption it’s just lobbying.

          There’s lobbying and corruption lol, also lobbying is literally just legalized corruption. Lobbying is corruption.
