It's funny how I hear people all the time talking about the scary Russians now. Didn't that farce play out back in the 80's? I guess we have another phoney "cold war" in the works. Did anyone actually read Orwell's 1984? It's also strange how people are always referring to the Russian super-elite as "oligarchs", but never use this term for the American/ Israeli ones like Soros and his ilk. Check out the wiki page on Wilbur Ross, for example.
This guy is far more dangerous to Americans than Putin or any other foreign entity is. He owns/controls the largest liquified gas shipping company on Earth (Navigator Holdings) and has owned Donald Chump since the 1980s. He was director of Rothschild Inc for 25 years, worked in the CLinton administration, and now runs the US Commerce Dept. I'd bet that 80% of Americans have no idea that he exists. An investigation by Forbes found that Ross, while secretary of commerce, owned for most of 2017 "stakes in companies co-owned by the Chinese government, a shipping firm tied to Vladimir Putin's inner circle, a Cypriot bank reportedly caught up in the Robert Mueller investigation and a huge player in an industry Ross is now investigating." Once he made it into the White House, he just transferred these assets to hidden accounts or to family members.
BuT tHe RuSsIaNs!
The good news is that he was born in 1937 and could drop dead at any moment. Unfortunately, there are a half dozen bloodsucking replacements born in the 1960s waiting to step in when he croaks.
Semi-related heads up: Russia recently dumped all of its US Treasury holdings. The last people to know that the dollar is tanking will be us.
