The overlap between Kremlin and Russian mob is a flat circle. Dissidents get jailed. LGBTQ rights get trampled. Corrupt oligarchy. Open political assassinations. Scientists getting suicided. Polonium poisoning. Invading Ukraine. Funding Erdogan's army against ethnic populations. Extending the Presidency to a virtual lifetime appointment. Etc.
But somehow any mention of Russia gets poo poo'd and dismissed.
It's amazing that the Trumps and Bidens and Giulianis and Manaforts, etc. get linked to backroom deals, and everyone wants to point out the corruption, but not the partner on the other end.
Russia bad.
Well those first four people are Americans and we can structure our society so that those people don't have any political power in which to make those deals. It's a bit harder for us to structure global society so that Russia doesn't have any power to make deals. It would require going against our values as leftists. About the best thing we could do is promote the end of capitalism so oligarchs lose their heads and Russians can determine their own foreign policy.
