       "The incentive structure is almost too corrupt to believe:"The Commerce Secretary imposes aggressive, potentially illegal tariffs that disrupt trade and damage American importers."The Secretary’s own firm buys the rights to eventual refunds from these same injured companies — at pennies on the dollar."When the courts strike down the tariffs — as the Secretary’s firm clearly anticipated — it collects the full refund value."#USPolitics #TrumpCrimeFamily   https://thedemocracydefender.substack.com/p/iran-war-we-follow-the-money-to-mar

       "This is not a war with some corruption around the edges. It is a financial architecture disguised as foreign policy. Every layer of the conflict — from the decision to strike, to the weapons used, to the sanctions imposed, to the energy markets disrupted, to the reconstruction that follows — has been engineered to produce returns for a specific, identifiable group of people: “The Mar-A-Lago Gang”##Corruption #TrumpCrimeFamily #Iran  https://thedemocracydefender.substack.com/p/iran-war-we-follow-the-money-to-mar

       "This is a world which better serves states such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, where the state and the oligarchy are already in alignment. It is not a world in which the United States has much of a place, or at least the United States considered as its people or its representative institutions. It is the world of Trump’s Board of Peace, in which peoples are understood as objects of deals, not as citizens of states."#Politics #Iran #TrumpCrimeFamily  https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-oligarchical-corridor
