– #Audio-visual fumble of a fact delivery on (Inter)National Security Risks –
Sometime around the turn of the 21st century, state-building thieves and criminalised statesmen met in the middle. Under Putin, the real currency is not the rouble, but political power, and mere money and property are at best something held in trust. (Mark Galeotti, The Vory: Russia’s Super Mafia)
Dear Sleeping Beauties of The US Supreme Court!
This is your wake-up call!
Who’re the People in your Neighbourhood? When’re you planning to checkmate Trump once and for all?
Yeah! We’re back in the USSR!
Here a humble suggestion of a context featuring convincing findings sparking a solid decision taking of yours as follows:
# Russo-Ukrainian War's[1] Impact on International Security[2]
# Triangle of Terror: Thieves in Law[3] | Russian Mafia[4] | Kremlin‘s exploitation of Russian Mafia's and Impact on Europe's Security and Economy[5]
# Russian Mafia's Impact on International Security and Economy[6]
# Russian Mafia's Impact on US Security and Economy[7]
In Soviet times, the authorities used thieves to move things around, to supply booze for parties and to find “deficit” goods for cities that the plan had neglected. Now the Kremlin relies on thieves to fill more significant roles. The hackers who targeted the US election are thieves in a new guise: patriotically undermining foreign political systems one day, stealing credit card numbers the next. The men who undermined Ukrainian rule in Crimea quickly went back to the rackets that were their day job once Russia’s control was secured. (The Guardian, The Vory: Russia’s Super Mafia review – a kleptocracy in the making)
Got it?!
Let’s go one step beyond madness!
Respectfully yours,
Cal Caleido
