Frank Vogl: The threats that oligarchs and their like pose to Western democracy dare not be underestimated. - NBCNewsTHINK

Indeed, authoritarian regimes have used their power to steal from their people by, for example, pocketing tax revenues, claiming cash from state-owned enterprises and securing under-the-table kickbacks on public contracts. The schemes involve government leaders, their business cronies and Western-based “enablers” in finance, law, property and art markets.

For too long, Western governments have tolerated these activities and failed to investigate the sources of tycoons’ wealth for no conceivable reason other than they have promoted commerce, providing incomes to banks, law firms, real estate companies and art dealers. In a number of cases, some of these tycoons have been prominent Western philanthropists.

THINK I want the transcript between Biden and a China! Media ignored Hunter Biden laptop story proving tied between Joe Biden and Russia, China and Ukraine, colluding with democrats during the 2020 election. Where’s the impeachment calls? Where’s the conflict of interest calls?

THINK

THINK About the Russian Oligarchs' yachts. I vote against just seizing them and reselling them to the rich. That just creates home-grown Oligarchs. Better to sink them off Puerto Rico, where the Atlantic is five miles deep.

THINK Stop letting non USA citizens from purchasing companies, houses, farms in the USA.

THINK Western oligarchs like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates are far worse
