So I'm with you on that.

But also consider that _all_ governments are mafias. But not entirely
unified. There are families, allegiances, conflicts, etc. etc. And that
includes China and Russia. For them all, ideology is just bullshit for
the lower levels, and for the masses.

And further, maybe some of those mafias have families and allegiances
that span multiple countries. Some perhaps run corporations for cover.

By default, I assume that everything we get from public sources is
bullshit and propaganda. Maybe some of the leaks are real, but even
that's hard to know.
