    It's called atlantic council and/or blaire institute of regime change offered a cushy gig (see finland). They don't have convictions, they don't have interests of people in heart, they don't have ideology; some dipshit from mckinsey comes with a cliff notes paper saying you should buy f-35, and your children will get no-show consulting gig in brussels, and they'll do it.

    Why would someone torch their country economy? Why wouldn't they if they don't see it as "their country", their fortunes aren't connected to gdp growth or life expectancy or amount of homeless people or disabled people dignity.
