The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

      It always amazes me how cheap it is to buy politicians, as compared to how much spending they decide on.

      I do think the EU should more heavily invest in bribing USA politicians, especially since it’s been legalized. The ROI just seems amazing.

      And I wish that I was being sarcastic, but I’m not. EU pro democracy bribes and dark money pac’s could be a counter to authoritarian states their dark money/influence projects, helping out the embattled USA democracy. And when the USA fascists see that their pro democracy opponents are receiving as much/more money from slush funds, then they might be more open to the idea of making all bribery illegal again.
