Putin lives in a palace and no one even knows how rich him and his thug friends actually are. They don't like the sanctions but I doubt he's 'feeling pain' whilst sending people's kids to war from his personal hockey rink. We simply live in a different reality than the rich, money is nothing to them. I work at a startup and am constantly astounded that our rich investors will write up another 200k check without more than a 5 minute conversation.
- tartoran 5y agoThere’s no shortage of sushi Putin has on his dinner table. However, his chair started tilting a bit. His control is still above 90 degrees but that angle could take a sudden 180 turn. If he’s confident he’s most likely bluffing. If he’s scared i’d fear him more
- zapataband1 5y agoBoth solid points, but imo maybe that's more of a reason to approach the situation russia with more diplomacy than our current "leaders' are rather than force more sanctions and escalate the situation quickly. Some senators are openly calling for assassination.
