Some of the companies - NG iirc - in those areas have people such as Hunter Biden, and other “famous sons” on their boards, getting big $. So this may be interesting IIRC Romney’s, Kerry’s and Pelosi’s sons do as well, or did. Hopefully someone will correct this.

Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends
By Peter Schweizer
Is a good read on how politicians enrich their friends and families. It was published in 2018 so not current with what we know, but good detail on how families like Kerry and Biden’s sons get wealth and positions based on family members in politics. Talks about China Mitch and even goes local to city, state level, i.e. Chicongo, Daley and the Kenyan. Heavily footnoted also so one can track down his cited sources.
BTW....Putins recognition was of the two break republics as “Independent”.....this was not for Inclusion Into the Russian Federation. Although that might come. Will have to see. But there is a distinction if Putin just leaves it as it is.
