Sure, maybe, probably, but even if that is 100% true, I don’t think it’s the whole story. I think that the interests of the Russian Federation and the interests of our ultra-wealthy sort of accidentally aligned insofar as they both believe they’d be better off with the US federal government deligitimized and destroyed. Whether it works out the way they’d hoped, well, we’ll see. History is kind of a funny thing.
They might think so, but they’re really not. Billionaires here were much less likely to fall out of windows. We were much more based on laws than a series of buddy systems.
It was better to have a billion dollars than ten billion rubles. We’re working to change that.
Here’s a pretty wild idea that just occurred to me. Let’s assume that Trump being a Russian asset is far from being the big picture, but a tiny part of it. What if some people have planned something much bigger, and the Trump administration is just one step along the way.
Maybe the goal is to make people rise up against a tyrannical dictator, and tare down the whole administration. Then, something new could rise from the ashes, and that’s when you have a unique opportunity to design the whole system to your liking. Consider it a hard reset, where you purge every cache and memory. Well, who would design the new constitution and a new government at that point? Even if it’s the people who do that, their opinions can be easily swayed, distorted and guided by social media. What if some people are just waiting for each piece to fall in its place.
Well, I have zero evidence for any of this, so consider it nothing more than food for thought. You could also use that as a prompt for a scifi book if you want.

Oligarchs run both governments, so yeah, their interests align.
People fall out of windows all the time, even if they have billions. Clearly, not all of them are aligned.
They don’t all have to be; the majority of them are aligned, because those that fall out of alignment…

Only slightly more based on laws. The difference was really neglible (now it is non-existent of course).
