China: An oligarchy took control of China after the death of Mao Tse-Tung. It is the 103 members of the families descended from the "Eight Immortals." They manage most of the state-owned corporations, collaborate on business deals, and even intermarry.

Monetising the Trump Presidency
The idea that the US might sell state-of-the-art nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, potentially enabling Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s reckless regime to build nuclear weapons, sounds so far-fetched as to be almost grotesque.
After all the near-hysterical American and Israeli warnings about the risk of Iran, the Saudis’ arch-rival, acquiring the bomb, surely even Donald Trump would balk at such breathtaking – and dangerous – hypocrisy?
Apparently not. According to a congressional inquiry, senior White House officials, retired generals and Trump’s close relatives and business cronies have been secretly pursuing a multibillion-dollar scheme to cut a nuclear deal with Riyadh.
The talks are said to be continuing, despite increased public scrutiny and legal advice that a technology transfer lacking strict conditions could contravene US law, breach international counter-proliferation safeguards, and fuel a nuclear arms race.
The inquiry’s interim findings, published last week by newly empowered Democrats on the House of Representatives’ oversight committee, were based in part on testimony from “multiple” whistleblowers, its authors said. They focus in particular on two high-profile figures – Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East envoy, and General Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser. Both have featured prominently in Robert Mueller’s almost completed federal probe into the Trump campaign’s dealings with Russia. The committee said it would urgently expand its inquiry “to determine whether the actions being pursued by the Trump administration are in the national security interests of the US or, rather, serve those who stand to gain financially”.
The investigation has become “particularly critical because the administration’s efforts to transfer sensitive US nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia appear to be ongoing”. As evidence for its view, the report cited a White House meeting on 12 February this year between Trump and “nuclear power developers” about sharing technology with the Saudis and other regional countries. It also raised a red flag over Kushner’s scheduled visits this week to Middle East capitals, including Riyadh, ostensibly to discuss economic development and Middle East peace.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Russia is no longer a communist country. But even if it was, the wealthy oligarchs that control it would be helping wealthy US capitalists such as Trump , not the socialists .“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostCatch up with the real-world dummy, Russia is no longer a Communist Country. Putin's Russia is ruled by wealthy oligarchs many whom, it is alleged, have been of enormous financial assistance to Trump over the years…no doubt with strings attached. But we should know for sure in the not too distant future.Originally posted by Tassman View PostSigh!
Russia is no longer a communist country. But even if it was, the wealthy oligarchs that control it would be helping wealthy US capitalists such as Trump , not the socialists .
Where is the information that the Russian oligarchs are helping wealthy US capitalists?
The oligarchs are party leaders for the communist party in Russia. They have privileges that regular citizens in Russia don't have because of their rank.
Also Putin is the head of the Russian government and his word is what is important in governing Russia. Putin is not really elected unless you count the "Yes - No" vote that passes for an election. with only Yes vote counted.
Yes Tass, there is a communist government in Russia. and No the oligarchs are not helping capitalists. They are rich because they support the communist party (as is typical communist government).
Please go look up the definition of a communist government.
Tass please prove you know by defending your statements and not just repeating them over and over.
Don't be one of those people that where thought what to think, not how to think.Last edited by The Pendragon; 02-23-2019, 09:10 PM."Any sufficiently advanced technology, is indistinguishable from Magic!"-- Arthur C. Clark
