@andersostlund Just re-read it. Putin is proud and full of machismo, but I hope he isn't crazy. I hope for some shred of sanity. -
@MeanGene2020 I hoped too but no, there is no sanity in Putin. The man is mentally ill and very evil.

@andersostlund If there's no money for the local power structure, does Putin end up isolated in an office?@Billbrowder@MeanGene2020 -
@fakeconsultant@andersostlund Interesting question. In Soviet times they were able to make it w/o foreign capital. Possibly same approach. -
@MeanGene2020@fakeconsultant There will of course be a trickle of money for the central state and elite. Russia has gold mines, nickel etc.

@andersostlund If Putin is supported by kleptocracy, won't capital flight mean his ability to do favors suffers?@Billbrowder@MeanGene2020Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
