-anything has ever happened.
Governments ALWAYS expect to get something in return when they give somebody billions of dollars. I don't like the language from the media, because it's almost like the money powers are actively trying to neuter politicians, who although corrupt and generally able to be bought, are sadly one of the only forces to stand up to complete corporate power and plutocracy.
How many deals have Presidents made over the last 200+ years that were not "this for that?" How many politicians, leaders, kings (etc...) around the world have just given large sums of money, or political favors, expecting NOTHING in return? It's non-sense. For our money and influence around the world of course the people must demand a "this-for-that" when our government gives away our money, our resources, or our young American lives, why the hell would we deal with the world if we got NOTHING in return?
There is "this-for-that" at every level of business I have ever seen or been a part of. Lawn-services give kick-backs lol. I've seen it first hand. How else does anything possibly work?
To think every political transaction and instance of American money being spent around the world is only for charity, with no influence or future considerations at stake? it's comical lunacy. It's not reality.
You can have your separate issue of Trump potentially asking for the investigation of potential corruption of a former Vice President (which seems like a credible request at this point, being that Biden basically bragged about doing what Dems are pretending to be mad at Trump for) who is now a potential political rival.. But the media is creating a dumbed down population, who is being conditioned to accept completely weakened and neutered politicians who are supposed to represent their interests.
In conclusion, everything ever is a "quid pro quo." Obama's money to Iran was a "quid pro quo," of course. The way this language is being used by the failed media right now is just kind of strange. It's making you stupid.
