It’s strange how people are like “America is bad, so the people they don’t like must be good!” Corrupt governments crave control, so they don’t like other corrupt governments because they’re competing with them for that control.

It’s not about which country’s government is good, it’s about the citizens of all countries coming together to fight against global corruption in all governments.
