History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]
Spot on mafketis!
I don't know why people on this site keep always banging about Russian corruption and how Russia is corrupt as a state. Certainly, in Russia there is corruption which is however mostly contained at the lower levels of government.
In the US it is not only possible to buy your local Congressman who will then lobby for you in Congress to change a certain law as per your desire (in case you are an owner of a big multinational corporation i.e. to lower the taxes for the rich) or as in this case to blackmail Poland, but you cannot even imagine how high up the level of corruption in the US goes, during the time of Bill Clinton and his deranged wife Hillary it was possible to even buy the President!
In Europe something like this would be a scandal, and there would be a public outcry while in the US such practice is considered as completely normal.
