I think that Russia has done a better job of dealing with its oligarchs than the US has, and don't forget the US role in developing many of those Russian oligarchs in the first place, via "privatization". I think Putin originally fell out of favor with the US when he transitioned from being Yeltsin's tool to actually resisting oligarchic influence in Russia. A number of them left the country. I'm trying to think of a US oligarch who has felt forced to leave the US because of opposition by the US government.
Spot on...we still have to battle western propaganda mind control that has seeped into the brain steams of the average American numbty who got raised up on Hollywood drama depictions of the sacrosanct USA always fighting the Russian existential evil that they repeat warn out saying like the Russians are this opitamy of the "bad guy"
My sister-in-law was upset last year sometime when Putin went to visit the leader of North Korea(can’t spell his name), but it was just fine when Trump visited him(in her mind, I guess). And then she pressed me on why I admired/liked Russia so much(the Russia of today, of course) and started in on a lecture that the USA will beat Russia in any contest or as she put it, “kick Russia’s ass” and that I was being foolish to think Russia was”up here” and the USA is “down here”. All one has to do is look at the major cities in this country and see how they are not cared for b/c all or most of the money goes to fund these imperialistic, senseless wars the U.S. goes around instigating. Talk about still living in the Hollywood, propaganda world of such movies as “Red Dawn” and episodes of Homeland on HBO(which was a good series, btw, but still propaganda bullshit).
That series the last ship was such bull shit even the guys working on the music score said it was such propaganda they had to hold their nose working on it ...

You said it! I think some people I love dearly have really bought in to that crock bs western propaganda.🤣
Sadly so many,,I had a near shouting match with a few friends over it . They are so stuck in that mental trap.
They won't hear people like me trying to break them out of the propaganda trance because they are all so emotionally invested in it.
