President Putin of Russia is being called regularly by the American media and politicians a “thug”. American businessmen and diplomats deal every day all over the world with dictators of diabolical persuasions who could be similarly labeled but of course they are not since money and favors passing between devilish persons must not be blocked by mere words. So something big must be up between Putin and the Americans using the power behind the scenes. It looks like president-elect Trump is a problem too. Trump is a globalist like all billionaires and he wants globally whatever his new power can get him. He is stacking the jobs in his administration that deal top-down with vast amounts of money with wealthy successful with-it financial people. It looks like he is a danger because he may be setting such men in important financial jobs so he can be free behind the scenes to look for deals. It is absolutely certain he will make deals. Big global deals. But Putin is an antiglobalist. Russia under him has advanced economically at a fast rate. Russians have succeeded in adapting all available technologies to speed up the prosperity of their economy despite the sanctions imposed on them. The overall possibilities for the expansive and rapid development of Russian economic potential are enormous but only if Putin opens up Russia, as did China, to unlimited foreign investment. For now, Putin has based his power on Russian nationalistic pride which is deep and genuine. The entrance into Russia of foreign corporations with endless supplies of capital and advanced technologies would enrich Russians but radically change their perspective. They would become more global in outlook, freer and less nationalistic. The present Russian business corporations supplying cash to Putin and his supporters would be in danger of being purchased by foreigners and restructured to make money competing globally. This is where Trump might be a danger, Suppose instead of trying to globalize and restructure Russian businesses, he supports Putin's antiglobalism and just makes deals here and there in Russia for himself? Something is up. We’ll see what happens. Russia has enormous economic potential and one way or another it will change. We can hope it will be done peacefully but it certainly does not promote peace calling President Putin a “thug”.
