I’m not all that sure whether Drump—who is, after all, just a front man—will even be replaced. I mean, ICE, which is obviously a secret police force, has a budget that is many, many times higher than Ukraine’s. A budget that exceeds the combined budgets of all U.S. federal agencies (FBI, CIA, etc.) many times. This is equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country, significantly larger than Ukraine.

The reason for this seems quite obvious to me: the establishment of an autocracy modeled after Russia, since the status quo already hardly differs from Russia’s anyway—at least as far as the unrestricted power of the super-rich is concerned....
