Putin's formula for achieving absolute power in Russia was by using and controlling the Oligarchs. The power (through money) was in their hands and he found that way to organize that power and control it.

How Putin Conquered Russia's Oligarchy

In the summer of 2000, 21 of the richest men in Russia exited their bulletproof limousines and entered the Kremlin for a historic meeting. In the previous decade, these men had risen seemingly out of nowhere, amassing spectacular fortunes as the country around them descended into chaos. Through shady deals, outright corruption, and even murder, these rapacious "oligarchs" — as Russians had come to derisively call them — had seized control of much of Russia's economy, and, increasingly, its fledgling democracy. But now, their nation's newly elected president, Vladimir Putin, wanted to tell them, face to face, who was really in charge.

"I want to draw your attention to the fact that you built this state yourself, to a great degree, through the political or semi-political structures under your control,'' Putin reportedly said in the closed-door meeting. ''So there is no point in blaming the reflection in the mirror. So let us get down to the point and be open and do what is necessary to do to make our relationship in this field work to our benefit.''

One of the reasons that people crave money is that it gives its owner power – to do whatever they choose, to buy freedom, loyalty and a range of other desirables.

Nonetheless, that in an of itself does not mean you can control a nation. For that, you need to control other things

1) the currency - Trump trying to control crypto
2) control the constitution with its checks and balances - Trump trying to do that through Project 2025
3) control the running of the government itself - Trump getting loyalists for the Cabinet posts
4) control the rich - getting Musk on his side (the richest American) and him working with and for Trump
5) destroying the Justice system - Trump doing that by electing the members of the Supreme Court

This is Putin's formula and Trump is following to a tee.

You're a nutjob.
 
Trump wants what we want. If Trump gets a little dictatorish, I'm fine with it.
So if you were Russia, you would not ever complain about Putin, right?

We certainly can see (by your answer) that Democracy means nothing to you. You are ready and willing to throw away all 248 years of our history. Bravo, you are a true................................traitor to the Constitution.

OMG we're going communist under Trump!!!!

Jeebus, just stop
Putin and Russia are not Communist. Did you not know that?

When did Russia stop being communist?

On December 25, 1991, the Soviet hammer and sickle flag lowered for the last time over the Kremlin, thereafter replaced by the Russian tricolor. Earlier in the day, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned his post as president of the Soviet Union, leaving Boris Yeltsin as president of the newly independent Russian state.

Russia is an Autocracy (not a Communist nation)

If you are going to open your mouth to say something (especially criticize), why don't you do research first. That would prevent you from looking stupid.

Shhh, nobody has time for you
 
That would be a blessing because the only people that do have (and spend) the time are the critics, insulters and debasers and that kind of time has nothing beneficial to it.

You just described yourself

Run along now

I am not going anywhere. Stating data, statistics and facts is my purpose (whether they are paid attention to or not is of no importance to me). One question for you "why are you sticking around close to me". Are YOU not wasting your time?

You are helping me, you know? You keep the OP's I write alive and on first page. You are useful to me for that reason.

Do you really think anyone cares about your petty little Trump-hating diatribe?

And more importantly, do you really think you're going to somehow magically change the result of an election?

Move on to the next stage of grief already.
