Corruption is self-propagating. Russia can't possibly be as important in that respect as our politicians would let on! The land is far too pressed financially to have significant clout in this sphere.
This insufferably paranoid Russia-nonsense is used to deflect from the basic, rampant and widespread corruption in all Western Hemisphere politics. Not that it's not widespread in the Eastern, too, likely worse and more institutionalized, it's just that the frequency and scale is inaccessible and outside our influence – unless we go with war and trade wars – which still doesn't solve any of the fundamental problems, merely creates a reset through incredible destruction and losses for all involved.
Politicians are looking more and more like reckless egomaniacs by the day: They love to blow distant, foreign problems out of proportions, apparently to hide their own bewildered incompetence, and to wallow in theoretical, dubious and purely ideological intricacies, while stringing their voters alone on empty promises instead of engaging in open, fact-based dialogue based on transparency, to address real, accessible, practical problems.
Perhaps they simply can't handle the complexities of modern reality, but I don't care.
If that's the case, get out of politics, find a job as bartender or truck driver (don't become a school teacher, they need to know love and joy) and let whoever else is there take up your slack! It can't possibly become worse.
