    In which way do American billionaires profit from letting Russia own “their” president? Do they trust Putin to maintain American hegemonie?

      Instead of paying 25% more taxes to their community, they just need to pay 1% direct kickback to dear leader.

      Instead if a world where their employees can leave and find better jobs if treated like shit, they’ll have desperate serfs who will put up with whatever shit or sexual harassment gets thrown their way.

        From my vantage point, it sure looks like you didn’t need any help from Russia to achieve this. You created a system in which a handful of wannabe human robotic billionaires own the whole world, including your government, and everyone else is a serf. Putin didn’t create your oligarchy, you didn’t need any outside help to get there. It’s all American. And unless you acknowledge your responsibility for it, you won’t ever be able to change it to something resembling your much touted ideal of freedom.
