Prepare to deny that training the military to "suppress crime" (i.e. intimidate enemies) matters, hicks.

Also, you're all cool with Trump being granted a 10% stake in Intel? Public ownership of private companies is a-o-k, socialism haters?

Also, be aware that is EXACTLY what Putin did, over and over. He was granted a free stake in Russian companies, and accepted on behalf of a grateful Russian nation. Then, quietly, often years later, those shares were sold to Putin's family or close cronies.

It was straight-up extortion. The companies were given an offer they couldn't refuse. They essentially wrote it off (informally, obviously) as double-tax - just like Intel did last week.

That is how he has become (probably) the world's richest man.

Trump is doing what Putin did, step by step.
