He emerged as top-dog warlord, through oil oligarchs into jail, and runs a terror state. He doesn’t need shitty ice rinks. He can coerce billionaires to do far more. It is a big mistake to judge people by the contexts in which they rose to power. Empires fall for such mistakes.

Evaluating politicians on a metaphoric business competence scale. He may not make mailroom clerk as a businessman. But he isn’t in the business of business. Politics eats business for lunch when conflict sharpens. Just ask Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
