Billionaires don't have loyalty to their country. They could jump in their private jet to have lunch in Paris and then get back for dinner. They don't have to worry about visa. They feel like citizens of the world.

Now they have putin offering deals making them even richer. The consequences didn't bother them, as their money allows them to move to a safer place.

Not only they don't see countries as their identities, they see countries as enemies, because all those regulations only impose restrictions and prevent then from being even richer.

It was a very bad idea to get those people anywhere close to the white house.

It's their country. The power that comes from owning a military doesn't exist for billionaires who flee to Russia.

They would prefer to have their private armies, but again a country just stays in their way.

If the US military splits into 10 private armies, will those armies be able to compete with China?

Why would they have to complete? If Xi pays enough why not let him have Taiwan? /s

Do you think those (I think 7 now?) visits to Russia are to discuss peace?

Those people are robbing us in broad day light. They don't care about the government.

Why would Xi have to pay?

If the US military is split up, would the billionaire's armies be able to dominate China?

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

It is not split yet though. I'm talking how the billionaires would prefer it.

They see themselves as being above the country.

If they can't implement the split then they need to control the president or Putin would use Trump against them.
