They aren’t false equivalencies, they are real life examples from a wide range of backgrounds that are completely contrary to your flippant remarks that billionaires can do whatever they want, money talks etc.
They are false equivalencies.
Djokovic is a tennis player who is a nobody on the world political stage. 200m is not in the same league as 100s of billions.
Epstien was a sex fiend with more interest in under-age pussy than political power on the world stage and again, not really worth much in the scheme of things.
The cartel bosses would come close, but again, a bunch of coked out fuckwads with guns and a penchant for murder with no real friends with power or influence on the world stage that matches that of a nuclear power.
All of these are littetally not equivalent to a state run criminal enterprise with nukes and trillions in war kitty money, weapons R&D and hidden assets and connections around the world with other nuclear powers that are sympathetic to their cause. .
Tell me again how those nobodies are not false equivalencies. Tennis, coke, and pussy barely get you in the room, and it doesn't make you a somebody in the world game.
Equivalents would be China and the CCP, naughty Korea and Israel and their associates.
