Well it's more organized crime, but espionage is also literally not legal. Spies are arrested and jailed all the time.

Edit: my thought isn't a unique one anyway. Many theorists have drawn comparisons between nations and organized crime. Nations are essentially the crime syndicates that retain the most power and influence.

It makes even more sense when you look at organized crime syndicates and how they run. You'll see a lot of parallels to how nations run. Alliances, treaties, laws, wars, even espionage etc...

The biggest difference is scale but we see with the cartels down in Mexico that crime syndicates can increase their scale so much that they're essentially their own nation with their own laws and governing bodies.

How many people is “6 families”?

They raise reindeer for food and that’s lame reindeer aren’t returning to their ancestral herding area due to windmills but also 6 families Vs enough energy for 100,000 peoples homes.

Green energy is one of the things o feel like should be pushed ahead of most things and here it certainly feels like a cash buyout of some sort makes sense.

I am a migrant, I was doing ok, but decided to move to another country for work.

If you HAVE to try to get to another country - even risking your life - where you apply for asylum you are a refugee. After the official investigation and evaluation you can either get the actual refugee status or not, but you will never ever get any other status. Either refugee or go home, they would never become (economic) migrants.

The term migrant was used instead refugees heavily by Hungarian (Russian) propaganda during 2015-2016 in order to reduce empathy. The Hungarian media was also instructed not to show women and children at all under any circumstances.

It is disgusting that russian and right wing trolls / politicians managed to bully most media into the incorrect usage of the word migrants.
