The Russian Mob now owns two world leaders, Putin and Trump.
What does this mean for investment bankers? For the oil industry? For the military industrial complex? For the medical industrial complex? For your Social Security and Medicare funds? For your air and water quality? For your Constitutional rights? For the press? For LGBT rights?
If you want to predict just how bad things will be, ask yourself "How can the Russian mob make more money using their two puppet presidents right now?" For example....
the mob does not prosper if sins are legal, therefore legal marijuana is unlikely to make it very far if the Mexican mobs have anything to say about it. Which leads to the question: will Trump use the power of the federal government to crush states like Colorado? I am betting that if Mogilevich makes a deal with Mexican weed growers, we will see the DEA all up Colorado's ass. On the other hand, if Mogilevich wants to squeeze out the Mexican mob, he could have Trump make all their product legal---and then he could control heroin which would be kept very illegal. And he could use the Trump DEA to cut back on the supply of legal opiates which reduce demand for heroin, so we could suddenly see lots of doctors sent to jail for prescribing pain meds--the quickest and easiest way to dry up pain meds for all Americans since doctors do not like being sent to jail. And then where would chronic pain sufferers have to turn? To our fearless leader in Russia.
Don't believe me? Which party is currently floating the idea of having Medicaid not cover any opiate? And what do you think happens to the demand for illegal opiates when folks on Medicaid can no longer get them legally?
See how much fun organized crime can have when it controls two major world governments?
