        Maybe, but it’s still a government run by thieves and murderers so it’s not terribly unlikely that theft is still occurring.

          I’d say it’s a government run by the Mafia, but it’s more accurate to say the government is the Mafia.

              Sure, but it’s deeper than that. Stealing from a country is one thing, forcibly sending young men to die in the mud for a genocidal war of conquest is something else.
