The only thing I like about Trump is exactly what so many empire managers hate about him: he gives the game away. He says the quiet parts out loud. He’s the only president who’ll openly boast that US troops are in Syria taking the oil or lament that they failed to take the oil from Venezuela, or just come right out and tell everyone he’s bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs.

Trump is the opposite of Obama, who was very skillful at putting a pretty face on the evil empire. Trump puts a very ugly face on a very ugly thing. He is a much more honest face to have on the empire. A crude, stupid plutocrat who is owned by other plutocrats is the perfect representative of that tyrannical power structure.

    PPP GDP is where Russia went to 4th.

    Old billionaires on your list got their wealth during Yeltsin. Derepaska close ties to Yeltsin. The success of Telegram is not due to favours granted by Russian government.

    an expanded NATO from countries that were formerly neutral.

    CIA brainwashing monopoly over EU politicians and media is not Putin’s goal. CIA is independently more powerful than Russia, and how they provoked the war despite Putin’s peace preference.

      I listed an old Billionaire who directly owes his money to Putin. I listed a new billionaire that you claim shouldn’t exist because only in America do people work for capitalist overlords. Kirill Shamalov wasn’t made a Billionaire by Yeltsin.

      Putin’s goal is the destruction of Russia. Germany needs Lebensraum. They couldn’t invade Russia like 1941 so instead they got their puppet Putin to get Slavs to kill themselves. Russian Slavs kill Ukrainian Slavs and in 10 years German investors will buy up cheap land in Russia without a single German casualty. The US supports it because they get more NATO allies. China gets cheap oil and no competition from Russia because Russia is building artillery instead of electric cars. Putin gets to keep his Billions. ( How did a politician with an average salary of $110,000 us dollars get $200 Billion?) In return, Putin’s children get to inherit hundreds of millions of dollars and live in complete safety.

      What do you get out of it? A chance to die killing Slavs so that Putin can secure his $200 B for his children?
