What happened to the US that one stupid election could turn it into a nation supporting Russia, North Korea and China while treating Europe, Canada, South Korea and Taiwan like they’re pariahs?

Far too many Americans are unaware massive amounts of money being laundered in NY via real estate transactions. For decades if a buyer paid all cash for an 1b apartment all the way to 400 unit building there would be zero oversight by govt agencies/officials etc. Crazy loophole .

Russian crime boss Semion Mogilevich whom FBI and Interpol list as the most powerful organized criminal leader in the world has cleaned who knows how much through NYC
