Can you clarify what exactly is meant by "the culture of corruption' in US congress"? I assume you're talking about campaign contributions and the associated quasi-quid pro quo dealings, but most Americans don't receive campaign contributions nor do they meet up with lobbyists, so there's very little opportunity for them to commit such acts of corruption.
The dutch think it’s embedded within one’s race - in europe they even make studies showing the inferiority of east europeans. Even covid was somehow “proven” by dutch universities to affect east europeans differently. Truly a one of a kind nation the netherlands. Yet dutch ports are main drug weapon and people smuggling ports.
But no one feels the need to get defensive about nationality if "just bribe some American congressmen" is stated instead of "Dutch or Belgian official".
