Russia’s Putin has been running that country for longer than anyone since Stalin. He’s obviously politically adept. A clever survivor. He recently won election to another 6 year term as dictator. He doesn’t seem to have new ideas. It often happens that people have a creative spurt and then run out of imagination. But maybe he doesn’t need new ideas.
Russia is doing okay. The USA pushed oil prices low during the Obama reign, possible hoping to cripple Russia, which the USA seems to view as a perennial enemy. Russia just kept on selling a variety of resources and buying gold. Putin is one of the most seasoned and skilled world leaders and has a pretty clear idea of what he’s doing, even if it is a continuation of the past. Most other national leaders are amateurs compared to him.
