The people who broke into the Capitol and stole things are not the smartest or most well-connected people.
More details are available in some of the court docs that are floating around the internet. The entire situation is stunningly disconnected from reality.
The frightening bit is that in their "reality", the deep state with the help of Communist Party of China (or are they lizard people?) stole the election, the judges are part of the theft, MSM is just lying to the brainwashed masses, etc, etc. And that they're the patriots trying to save the country.
The funny bit is how they're crying that it's China (oops, I mean, Chinese government) who's controlling Biden. Why couldn't it be Putin? Is it because the Russians (oops, I mean, Putin) are their friends now? Or that they subconsciously know that Trump was Putin's poorly-trained lapdog?
Imagine you stole Putin's personal laptop, the secret special one with no password that he hides under his pillow. If you email info@state.gov and offer to sell it to them, it auto-replies with a warrant. They'll definitely take it, but they will not pay for it.
Better to sell it to some random American who thinks they won the lottery.
Edited to add: I guess a Russian warrant wouldn't mean much in the article's case. She basically paid a premium to not deal with a government.
Edited to add: best to not steal it in the first place, obviously. Obviously don't steal state secrets, don't loot your capitol, and just be cool.
I'm trying to get into her headspace so I can understand her. I think what she did was bad.
America donated fidget spinners to Syra
vs
The American government donated fidget spinners to the Syrian government
(but not 'The Americans donated fidget spinners to the Syrians')
Washington donated fidget spinners, Damascus invited experts from Moscow to inspect the latest advances in ball bearing technology.
You can also truly donate to Syria and help build apartments, schools, and hospitals in areas outside Assad’s control:

But I agree with you. I make an effort to criticize the “PRC” and the “CCP” and not “China” for the same reason.

I’m sure the Russians are fed the very same sorts of propaganda tho.
Canberra people are in general, awesome. Little art/fashion culture compared to other cities, but per capita are the most educated people. That doesn’t fix the nightlife situation though :P
Most people behave differently too, once you really get to know them.
Not American, but as the only Russians i met were "security detail" from Crimea and as my mother used to help Georgians exiles between 2005 and 2015, i would put asterisk everywhere in your sentence except at "who fight bears".
