A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

Why will they be careful? The USA (whose income tax Constitutional Amendment has clearly been established as NEVER having been constitutionally passed*) has long stood out as one of the sole countries that practices this acquisition of information so as to tax americans for activity entirely out of the country. Most importantly, never-ever! claim or raise this tax constitutionality/ "was it ever passed?" question, as a defense or even in a discussion with the IRS as you will be instantly labeled a 'tax protestor.' I provide it only FYI; not as a recommendation.
(I.e., It’s something that has nothing to do with truth, but everything to do with relatively known consequences. It’s akin to flying to Germany and then holding a press conference asking 'when, and why did the plaques in front of former concentration camps have their wording changed from “over 6 million” to “around 2 million? and who was behind it?” You, {and your lawyer, perhaps, if you could find one} will end up in jail because “truth is no defense.” Same here.)
Russia is here doing far less, and thus the MSM will touch this somewhat more cautiously because of the inanity. After all, the US calling out any country on foreign tax issues is worse than a 'pot calling a kettle black'. It's more like a black burned out griddle calling some shiny stainless steel cookware 'black', or 'gray instead of silver.'

* A district court even admitted as such on the record in a tax case. The court's point - there stated, elsewhere, unstated - is that Income Tax has been around so long that it's too late now to look back to see if it's constitutional.**
** By that logic, no argument could ever have been raised that the Constitutional provisions regarding slavery - though slaves couldn't vote, their presence counted for 3/5ths of a human for census purposes and # of house seats. Those provisions in the constitution were themselves 'unconstitutional' as not in compliance with the overriding meaning of the document. They were resolved by the 13th through the 15th amendments rather than caselaw.(Research, generally, statutory, constitutional or contract construction regarding internal conflicts within such documents.)
