There are corrupt people in every country all over the world... The United States used to be an example of how to effectively deal with corruption... This used to set the US apart in the past because if you are caught, you are sentenced to a long time in prison... no wealth, no political influence or affiliation will save you... You will serve your time and carry the burden for the rest of your life.
I am afraid that is no longer the case.... We see felons who have defrauded people of their hard-earned money being set free and their criminal records erased, left, right, front, and back.

If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...
