      "Putin knew he was going to roll over Trump before he even walked into the room;while both men are experienced liars,Putin brought decades of KGB tradecraft and manipulation to the fight. He's a wily head-gamer who rose to the top of the bloody Russian pyramid of political power"

      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.

      In the words of Frank Underwood, choosing money over power is a waste for the politically talented. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnnm3L12fA …

      Totally disagree. America could not even kick the Vietcong for sport. There’s a difference between having military muscle and a militarist mind. That weak little dog is currently holding a demented elephant at bay. When you lose your mind, your muscles don’t matter.
