Comment on How Saudi Arabia Infiltrated Twitterparent

Comments

Your other comment says different things though. I think it's a fair question "how do background checks work for foreign persons" vs "IMO, it's wayyy much easier to corrupt people from second or even third world countries, there corruption is the norm".

It is wayyyyyyy much easier, I'll repeat. To get things done corruption is used and the government can make or break, virtually everything in your life. Or your families'.

A lot of things are broken in USA but it's light years away in that department compared to a lot of countries.

I mean, you're not wrong that corruption is a bigger problem in many countries than it is in the USA (which I guess you see similar to how I've heard many Chinese see the CCP). But saying all "second or third world countries" (whatever would even fit that definition) is quite a generalisation. Even within your definition of first world countries where there isn't (much/any) corruption, why should an Austrian be loyal to Sweden and pass any background checks?
