I am Ukrainian. It is clear to me that parts of the US Government (and a specific political party) are openly corrupt, at the highest level. I really hope that Americans can deal with this - the nation needs to serve as a reference point for the rest of the planet.

In the United States, speech is free as in speech. And you can also charge a blacklisted Chinese tech company $500,000 for it too, provided you follow some terms and conditions.
The alternative is unregistered influence, undisclosed payments, and even freer speech unless politicians are isolated & insulated, and that’s just generally not a great move.
I don’t come to hacker news to read Eastern Europeans espousing about which American political party, in their view, is the One True Corrupt Party. This type of post does not belong here. Please keep political opinion posts to Reddit.
