In 2018-2019 US malignly spent over $13 million on the ground in Russia openly sowing discord and interfering in Russian government

.
"National Endowment for Democracy," NED, US government grants for expenditure in Russia:

2019: $6,797,405 
2018: $6,347,976

For example, in the first 2019 "grant," US kleptocrats say they will teach Russian people how “kleptocratic practices" undermine so-called western democratic principles. This is typical of many US “grants” totaling nearly $6.8 million spent on the ground in Russia in 2019, openly interfering and sowing discord.

First 2019 grant:

“Aiding Corruption Investigations
Accountability and Governance 

$48,610 

To aid the work of anti-corruption activists by making them more effective through new connections with an international network, which will facilitate transborder anti-corruption work and highlight the ways in which transborder kleptocratic practices undermine democratic principles in Western countries. Activists will be connected to media outlets that can expand the audience for their work, foreign experts who can assist with investigations, and legal experts familiar with relevant international legal anti-corruption mechanisms.”

Added: The year before, 2018, the US “NED” spent $6,347,976 on the ground in Russia inciting divisiveness and sowing discord. 

The first “grant” listed in 2018 is similar to the one above in 2019, except that in 2018 “kleptokratic” is referenced in the first sentence. Apparently Russia is fine with the US government coming into its country, spending millions scorning the Russian people and their government:

First 2018 grant:

“Aiding Corruption Investigations
Accountability and Governance 

$47,880 

To strengthen anti-corruption initiatives and raise awareness of the impact of kleptocratic behavior and its implication for democratic societies. The work of anti-corruption activists will be made more effective through connections with an international network, which will facilitate transborder anti-corruption work and highlight the ways in which kleptocratic practices undermine democratic principles. Activists will be connected to media outlets and experts who can assist with their work.”

Comment: Perhaps Mr. Putin is just a figurehead in Russia with no actual power. How else can one explain this vile US group being allowed to openly operate in Russia--or anywhere--for the purpose of sowing division? Even more embarrassing, everyone knows the deeply corrupt US is unqualified to lecture anyone about the time of day much less corruption.
