So I have not kept up on this.

Is this just large scale brown paper bag diplomacy?

Was not aware about the "brown paper bag" idiom, seems to be a US-specific thing.

This is a market access in exchange for local production issue. Commonly used by countries such as China (in some industry segments), India, Brazil.

The initial $10M offering is how you know US oligarch groups are completely out of control and disconnected from reality.

Is this government extortion?
