Thank you.
Previous megathreads:
Bush Sr came from a wealthy NE dynasty so a lot of that was inherited, or came from his fake oil ventures/CIA cover.
More importantly though, Putin isn’t Stalin or Xi or Kim, he’s the head of a capitalist petrostate resulting from Chicago school economic policy. I know it’s important to doubt CIA reports but they also predicted the invasion (wrong time but w/e) and context clues matter here. You have examples of how “weird” he’s been with the Sochi games and the poisonings in the UK.
It’s been said he keeps the “oligarchs”/billionaires around because they give him cuts, which I don’t think is unreasonable or out of character for capitalist leaders at all. But given the mafia quality of the Russian state, being in that dangerous and powerful a position for 20 years will fuck with anyones head.
At the end of the day I don’t really see this “unhinged” report as far fetched and I don’t have any incentive to give him the benefit of the doubt like with an AES leader.
