you just showed. tokarev makes his money through the pipelines, very close to putin. as part of the oil and gas machine, and as long as we buy that, he will be fine. others have homes in london and dubai and wants to be part of the international system. he was the first deputy prime minister when i was ambassador. in other words, he wants to be part of that world. but neither of them have power over putin. so shabalov and some of those others, guess what? there s hard liners around putin that say, you know, great job. because they don t like those guys. they re the ones that got rich in the 90s. they want to see them suffer. whereas the guys that are close to him are rich, because putin made them rich. that doesn t give them a lot of leverage, vis-a-vie putin. yeah. sit a conundrum. it is a disaster.
